  • Using WRF Downscaling and Self-Organising Maps to Investigate Particulate Pollution in the Sydney Region
    Using WRF downscaling and self-organising maps to investigate particulate pollution in the Sydney region. Supplementary Information JAGODA CRAWFORD, ALAN GRIFFITHS1, DAVID D. COHEN1, NINGBO JIANG2, EDUARD STELCER1 1Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, Locked Bag 2001 Kirrawee DC NSW 2232, Australia 2Office of Environment and Heritage, NSW Department of Premier and Cabinet, Sydney, Australia 1 Corresponding author. Tel: +61 2 9717 3885, Fax: +61 2 9717 9260; e-mail [email protected] 1 The Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) The Advanced Research (AR) WRF (WRF hereafter) model version 3.5.1 (Skamarock et al., 2004; Skamarock and Klemp, 2008) was used to carry out meteorological dynamical downscaling. The main advantages of using dynamical downscaling is that some processes which are on subgrid scales in the global model will be simulated explicitly by the regional model and more frequent output intervals can be specified. If the regional model simulates sea breezes and the influence of topography more realistically, trajectories computed from its output will also be more accurate. A vast number of WRF configuration options are possible. The current configuration is similar to that used by Angevine et al. (2013). The model was configured with 12 km horizontal resolution, 50 vertical levels, with greatly enhanced resolution near the surface (half of the levels below 1 km and a 20 m thick near-surface level). Subgrid vertical turbulence was modelled with the Mellor-Yamada-Janjic (MYJ) boundary layer and surface layer schemes (Janjić, 1994), longwave and shortwave radiation was modelled with RRTMG (Iacono et al., 2008), cloud microphysics was modelled with the Lin (Purdue) scheme (Lin et al., 1983) and subgrid moist cumulus was modelled using the Grell-Freitas scheme (Grell and Freitas, 2014).

  • Hunter Valley: Coal Seam Gas Exclusion Zones Submission 8 November 2013
    Director Assessment Policy, Systems & Stakeholder Engagement Department of Planning and Infrastructure Hunter Valley: Coal Seam Gas Exclusion Zones Submission 8 November 2013 Coal Seam Gas Exclusion Zones Submission: Hunter Valley This page was intentionally left blank 2 Coal Seam Gas Exclusion Zones Submission: Hunter Valley Foreword Closing the loop on CSG Mining in the Hunter Valley When it comes to coal seam gas (CSG) mining, protecting Australia’s most visited wine tourism region in its entirety - not in parts - is of paramount importance. And the time to do it is now. The NSW State Government should be recognised for delivering on its pre-election promises to preserve the Hunter Valley wine tourism region from CSG mining by confirming exclusion zones around the villages of Broke and Bulga as well as around significant areas defined as Viticulture Critical Industry Clusters (VCIC). But protecting most of the region, while leaving several critical areas open for CSG exploration and mining, could have devastating consequences for the iconic Hunter region as a whole – and undo the Government’s efforts thus far. While mining is obviously a legitimate land use and an important revenue source, this can’t justify allowing mining activities in areas where other existing, profitable industries would be adversely affected. Put simply, winemaking, tourism and CSG mining are not compatible land uses. The popularity and reputation of the Hunter Valley wine tourism region is fundamentally connected to the area’s natural beauty and landscape – and that natural beauty will fast disappear if the countryside is peppered with unsightly gas wells. Research reveals 80%1 of Hunter Valley visitors don’t want to see gas wells in the wine and tourism region, with 70%2 saying if gas wells are established they’ll just stop coming.

  • Rare Or Threatened Vascular Plant Species of Wollemi National Park, Central Eastern New South Wales
    Rare or threatened vascular plant species of Wollemi National Park, central eastern New South Wales. Stephen A.J. Bell Eastcoast Flora Survey PO Box 216 Kotara Fair, NSW 2289, AUSTRALIA Abstract: Wollemi National Park (c. 32o 20’– 33o 30’S, 150o– 151oE), approximately 100 km north-west of Sydney, conserves over 500 000 ha of the Triassic sandstone environments of the Central Coast and Tablelands of New South Wales, and occupies approximately 25% of the Sydney Basin biogeographical region. 94 taxa of conservation signiicance have been recorded and Wollemi is recognised as an important reservoir of rare and uncommon plant taxa, conserving more than 20% of all listed threatened species for the Central Coast, Central Tablelands and Central Western Slopes botanical divisions. For a land area occupying only 0.05% of these divisions, Wollemi is of paramount importance in regional conservation. Surveys within Wollemi National Park over the last decade have recorded several new populations of signiicant vascular plant species, including some sizeable range extensions. This paper summarises the current status of all rare or threatened taxa, describes habitat and associated species for many of these and proposes IUCN (2001) codes for all, as well as suggesting revisions to current conservation risk codes for some species. For Wollemi National Park 37 species are currently listed as Endangered (15 species) or Vulnerable (22 species) under the New South Wales Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. An additional 50 species are currently listed as nationally rare under the Briggs and Leigh (1996) classiication, or have been suggested as such by various workers. Seven species are awaiting further taxonomic investigation, including Eucalyptus sp.
