Monthly Weather Review New South Wales November 2009 Monthly Weather Review New South Wales November 2009 Monthly Weather Review New South Wales November 2009 Monthly Weather Review New South Wales November 2009 The Monthly Weather Review - New South Wales is produced twelve times each year by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology's New South Wales Climate Services Centre. It is intended to provide a concise but informative overview of the temperatures, rainfall and significant weather events in New South Wales for the month. To keep the Monthly Weather Review as timely as possible, much of the information is based on electronic reports. Although every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of these reports, the results can be considered only preliminary until complete quality control procedures have been carried out. Major discrepancies will be noted in later issues. We are keen to ensure that the Monthly Weather Review is appropriate to the needs of its readers. If you have any comments or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us: By mail New South Wales Climate Services Centre Bureau of Meteorology PO Box 413 Darlinghurst NSW 1300 AUSTRALIA By telephone (02) 9296 1555 By email [email protected] You may also wish to visit the Bureau's home page, http://www.bom.gov.au. Units of measurement Except where noted, temperature is given in degrees Celsius (°C), rainfall in millimetres (mm), and wind speed in kilometres per hour (km/h). Observation times and periods Each station in New South Wales makes its main observation for the day at 9 am local time. At this time, the precipitation over the past 24 hours is determined, and maximum and minimum thermometers are also read and reset. In this publication, the following conventions are used for assigning dates to the observations made: Maximum temperatures are for the 24 hours from 9 am on the date mentioned. They normally occur in the afternoon of that day. Minimum temperatures are for the 24 hours to 9 am on the date mentioned. They normally occur in the early morning of that day. Daily rainfall is for the 24 hours to 9 am on the date mentioned. This means a significant fraction of the rain may have occurred on the previous calendar day. Monthly rainfall is for the period from 9 am on the last day of the previous month to 9 am on the last day of this month. Maximum daily wind gusts are in the 24 hours from midnight to midnight. Climatological values The climatological averages shown in the text and tables are generally long-term means based on observations from all available years of record, which vary widely from site to site. They are not shown for sites with less than 20 years of record, as they cannot then be calculated reliably. Climatological extremes are generally taken from available observations from all available years of record. The number of years can vary substantially from site to site.

  • Dick Willis, HSRCA Group JKL Registrar PO Box 280, Coffs Harbour, NSW. 2450. Greetings All, Although Our JKL Numbers Were Very S
    -1 Dick Willis, HSRCA Group JKL Registrar PO Box 280, Coffs Harbour, NSW. 2450. Ph. 02 66522099, 0427 400158, [email protected] Greetings All, Although our JKL numbers were very small at our second HSRCA race meeting of the year at Eastern Creek on June 25/26 those of us who made the effort were rewarded with some great racing and camaraderie. In Group K we had the return of David St Julian in the lovely Lagonda Rapier Special complete with its smell of methanol/Castrol R but who was plagued with niggling problems and eventually had to park it when he thought the engine was trying to tell him it wanted to drop a valve. In L Racing we had Percy Hunter in the faithful blown TC Special, Max Lane in his newly imported Lola FJ with offset driveline from its Ford 105E motor, John Medley in his Nota BMC FJ and myself in the Nota Major having its first run at Eastern Creek for some 15 years. In L Sports we had Peter Lubrano in his TC Special and John Murn in the Decca Major. In invited M we had John Evans from Victoria in the B Series powered Elfin Streamliner and Henry Walker in the familiar and revolutionary Nalla Holden. We were joined by two Na A30’s and 8 Sa cars including four very quick Austin Healey 3000’s two of which were to claim the first two places in the two scratch races. Saturday’s 8 lapper produced a bit of a surprise when the Nota Major proved to be the quickest of the non Sa cars coming home a strong third behind the Healeys of Peter Jackson and Laurie Sellers, John Medley was forced to retire with a split header tank which he was able to rectify in time for Sunday and Max Lane was the best of the other L cars in sixth.

  • Updating Australia's High-Quality Annual Temperature Dataset
    Aust.Met. Mag. 53 (2004)15-93 Updating Australia's high-quality annual temperature dataset Paul Della-Marta and Dean Collins National Climate Centre,Bureau of Meteorology,Australia and Karl Braganza CSIRO AtmosphericRese arch, Aspendale, Australia (Manuscriptreceived June 2003;revised September 2003) An updated and improved version of the Australian high-qual- ity annual mean temperature dataset of Torok and Nicholls (1996)has been produced. This was achievedby undertaking a thorough post-1993homogeneity assessment using a number of objective and semi-objectivetechniques, by matching closed records onto continuing records, and by adding some shorter duration records in data-sparseregions. Each record has been re-assessedfor quality on the basis of recent metadata, result- ing in many records being rejected from the dataset. In addi- tion, records have been re-examinedfor possibleurban conta- mination using some new approaches.This update has high- lighted the need for accurate and completestation metadata. It has also demonstrated the value of at least two years of over- lapping observations for major site changes to ensure the homogeneityof the climate record. A total of 133 good-quality, homogenisedrecords have been produced. A non-urban subset of 99 stationsprovides reliable calculations of Australia'sannu- al mean temperature anomalies with observation error vari- ancesbetween 15 and 25 per cent of the total variance and decorrelation length scalesgreater than the ayerageinter-sta- tion separation. trntroduction Torok and Nicholls (1996) produced a homogenised primary purposeof this datasetwas to enablethe 'high-quality' or datasetof annual mean maximum reliablemonitoring of climatetrends and variability and minimum temperatureseries for Australia.
