Meteorological Society of New Zealand Newsletter - Sep 2012 - Page 3 From our President Time really does ly, doesn't it? Two years ago I had my arm twisted to take on the role of president of the Meteorological Society of ew Zealand - and now, two years later, it's almost time to surrender the reigns to the next arm-twisted candidate. So this is a nice opportunity to share some of my thoughts on the last two years in the Met Soc. Firstly, I couldn't have asked for a better committee. There is a wealth of knowledge and experience (and yes, even some youth) on the Met Soc committee which really does make for an excellent team environment. This has translated into two very well-run annual meetings (in )ellington, jointly with AM,S, and in elson) and the promise of yet another excellent annual event in )ellington in ovem- ber this year. Secondly, we have had some excellent feedback on critical matters for the Socie- ty from the membership - so cheers to you all for this help and guidance. So what have been the big issues for the Society over the last two years, and what have we done about them? )ell, I think many of you will agree with me that the image of the Society (both from a public and professional perspective) needed a makeover. Addressing this, we have changed the presentation format of the articles in our journal, )eather and Climate, to be more consistent with other peer-reviewed scientiic journals and we have been working hard on a new (very nice-looking and well-designed) website. Critically, visitors to the website will have the capa- bility to download historic and, for members only, the most up-to-date articles from )eather and Climate and most importantly they will have the capability to perform keyword searches on all the text within articles (i.e. not just titles). These features (online access to articles and ability to perform keyword searches) will fulil the re.uirements of scholarly search engines (such as /oogle Scholar and )eb of Science) so that articles in )eather and Climate will be seen when users of these services perform searches for papers. This 'realisation' of a long- identiied end goal for Weather and Climate will come in my successors reign, and I wish him or her the very best with achieving it. So, all-in-all I think we've made some good progress over the last couple of years. Thanks to everyone who has helped make my experience as president both enjoyable and intellectually stimulating. 0ooking forward to seeing many of you at the annual conference.

Auckland Downpour: From Brian Giles, Auckland member and editor of our Journal: Around noon on 3 July 2012 a severe thunderstorm crossed the Auckland isthmus moving south. The Meteorological Service had issued a severe thunderstorm warning (the criteria being: rainfall intensity greater than 24mm/hr, hail over 19mm, wind gusts over 110km/h and sig tornado). The warning is shown here was posted on the MetService New Zealand Facebook page: [Downloaded 11 July 2012 from http://www.facebook.com/MetService ] The media reported various loods and wind damage as well as a seal inding refuge in Pen- rose. The next morning the ew Zealand 8erald reported several eye witness accounts and videos can be seen at http9MMwww.nzherald.co.nzMamelia-wadeMnewsMarticle.cfm?a_idOC33PobjectidO10817244 and http9MMwww.nzherald.co.nzMnationalMnewsMvideo.cfm?c_idO1A0307APgal_cidO1A0307APgallery_idO12CA3C. Meteorological Society of New Zealand Newsletter - Sep 2012 - Page 7 But how bad was it? The heavy rain certainly came and exceeded the amount in the warning. 7ut it was short lived. In a personal communication from Dan Corbett (MetService) the rain gauge at Albert Park recorded 30mm in 33 minutes (1311 to 1344) and the most intense rain was from 131Chr to 1342hr when 2C.Amm fell in 2C minutes. ,ther stations across the city reported similar very heavy but short downpours. Albany in the north had 12.4mm in 30 min (1233-1303). In the west of the city in 8enderson 12.Amm arrived in 30 minutes (1232-1312) while at ,ratia there was 12.7mm in 30 minutes 1230-130A) including a fall of 7.3mm in 1A min. earer the city centre at /rey 0ynn 31.Amm fell in 3A minutes (12A341334) and at Mt 1oskill 2A.2mm fell in between 1310 and 1340 (30 minutes)R at this most of the daily total of 4C.7 fell between 1300 and 1440.. Further south at Mangere 7ridge falls were less intense with 13.Amm falling in 2A minutes (1321-134C). This data was obtained from the automatic weather stations that are reported by )eather In- derground website, the link to /rey 0ynn for example is at http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=IAUCKLAN7. These stations usually record weather elements at 5 min intervals with rainfall given as both an hourly rate and as a days accumulation at each measuring time. Since the times vary very slightly from day to day and station to station they can be centred at speciic A minute inter- vals so comparisons can be made. The graph below was constructed from this data and shows the rainfall intensity from 0300 to 1C00 at 11 stations across Auckland from north to south. The times of peak rates is very consistent across the city with a tendency to occur slightly lat- er as the storm moved south. The shape of the graphs also varies with a short sharp peak at Devonport, )aitakere, Mission 7ay, and Mangere 7ridge but a wider peak at 7ayview, /rey 0ynn and 7lockhouse 7ay.

  • World Curling Federation (WCF) Competitions & Rules Commission on an Annual Basis
    OLYMPIC / PARALYMPIC WINTER SPORT THE RULES OF CURLING and Rules of Competition October 2019 THE SPIRIT OF CURLIN G Curling is a game of skill and of tradition. A shot well executed is a delight to see and it is also a fine thing to observe the time-honoured traditions of curling being applied in the true spirit of the game. Curlers play to win, but never to humble their opponents. A true curler never attempts to distract opponents, nor to prevent them from playing their best, and would prefer to lose rather than to win unfairly. Curlers never knowingly break a rule of the game, nor disrespect any of its traditions. Should they become aware that this has been done inadvertently, they will be the first to divulge the breach. While the main object of the game of curling is to determine the relative skill of the players, the spirit of curling demands good sportsmanship, kindly feeling and honourable conduct. This spirit should influence both the interpretation and the application of the rules of the game and also the conduct of all participants on and off the ice. REVIEW PROCESS The Rules of Curling and the Rules of Competition will be reviewed by the World Curling Federation (WCF) Competitions & Rules Commission on an annual basis. Member Associations may submit in writing suggestions for this review to the Secretariat by 15 May. The proposals will be discussed at the WCF Annual Congress and then voted upon at the WCF Annual General Assembly. WCF MISSION S TATEMENT To be the world's favourite Olympic / Paralympic Winter team sport.

Sponsor of the Day See Sponsor Profiles on page 14 Page 2 2013 Tim Hortons Brier – Tankard Times For Ol’ Bear, it was THAT close JIM MORRIS The Tankard Times Wow! They saved the best for last as the final playoff positions were determined during a wild night of excitement during the last round- robin draw Friday at the Tim Hor- tons Brier, presented by Monsanto. The final piece of the puzzle fell into place when Manitoba’s Jeff Stoughton delivered a last-rock draw to the button for a 6-5 extra end victory over B.C.’s Andrew Bilesky, who was playing for noth- ing but pride. Alberta skip Kevin Martin could only watch his playoff hopes dis- appear as Stoughton celebrated the victory. Martin used a last-rock draw of his own for a 6-5 win that handed Ontario’s Glenn Howard his first loss. But Martin couldn’t overcome a horrible start to the week and won’t have a chance to win a record fifth Brier. “That was the most exciting evening I have ever been involved in curling,” said Howard, who fin- ished first with a 10-1 record. “I thoroughly enjoyed that evening.” Howard will now play Stoughton (8-3) in Saturday afternoon’s 1-2 game.
