    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.

B.FLT.0352 Online summer heat load forecast service – 2008/2009 Abstract A weather forecasting system was developed to assist in warning operators of cattle feedlots of impending adverse weather conditions that could lead to excessive heat loads (and potential mortality) for feedlot cattle. This forecasting system covered several locations in the proximity of feedlots where Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) automatic weather stations (AWS) are located. The forecasts were made over the period 1 October 2008 to 31 March 2009 at 91 sites throughout Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia, Western Australia, Victoria and Tasmania. Forecasts were made of wind speed, temperature and relative humidity, these being the input parameters necessary to calculate the Heat Load Index (HLI) and ultimately the Accumulated Heat Load Unit (AHLU).

  • Fire Weather Climatology Dataset for Victoria
    Fire weather climatology dataset for Victoria Final Report to the Victoria Department of Environment, Water, Land and Planning August 2015 Timothy Browna,b, Graham Millsb, Sarah Harrisb, Domagoj Podnara, Hauss Reinbolda and Matt Fearona aDesert Research Institute, Reno Nevada USA, [email protected] bMonash University, Clayton Victoria Australia, [email protected] EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Climatology data of fire weather across the landscape can provide science-based evidence to inform strategic decisions to ameliorate the impacts (at times extreme) of bushfires on community socio-economic wellbeing and to sustain ecosystem health and functions. A long-term climatology requires spatial and temporal data that are consistent to represent the landscape in sufficient detail to be useful for fire weather studies and management purposes. In Victoria there are some considerable barriers in creating a long-term homogeneous climatology strictly from meteorological observations, given the relatively low number of reliable, long-term observation records available for analyses. These barriers exist in both space and time. Spatially, the majority of the observations are based near population centres, and so do not necessarily reflect the conditions in the forests where the bulk of major bushfires primarily occur concentrated in the slopes and valleys of the ranges through central and eastern Victoria. Temporal inhomogeneities include changes with time in both observation network density and in reporting frequency. The latter is particularly evident

  • Migration in the Murray-Darling Basin Australia During the Millennium Drought Period
    Migration in the Murray-Darling Basin Australia during the Millennium Drought Period BY ERICK HANSNATA March 2017 THESIS Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Economics at the University of Canberra Australian Capital Territory, Australia Doctoral Committee: Professor Laurie Brown, Chair Professor Anne Daly Associate Professor Riyana Miranti Abstract The latest prolonged drought or the Millennium Drought period in the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB) highlights several key issues for the people, businesses, and authorities in the Basin. Studies related to the event have mostly focused on water management, environmental issues and policy assessment. However, the direct socio-economic impact during the drought also raises the question of population issues, particularly migration activities. Thus, identifying and understanding patterns of out-migration as well as in-migration into the Basin during the drought in the MDB are essential to fully appreciate the debates on MDB water policies and water for the future. This thesis examines the relationship between migration activities and socio-economic factors, with a particular focus on the environmental shock of the drought. This has not been undertaken before in the literature on the MDB. In order to examine migration in the MDB, the study develops a unique dataset drawing on three different sources to capture migration data, socio-economic indicators and environmental factors. The analysis assessing internal migration by age groups, area classifications, and remoteness index shows that the migration follows the fundamental concept of the gravity model. In the empirical estimation, the key environmental variable of rainfall data is applied indirectly as an instrument for agricultural production, where as an endogenous parameter it affects migration activity.

The three types of density currents are southerly busters (SBs) along the coastal NSW, thunderstorm downbursts over north-western NSW and easterly DCs over Canberra. The research take advantage of the recently available Himawari-8 high temporal- and spatial- resolution satellite data, Sydney wind profiler data, Doppler radar data, radiosonde data, half hourly METAR and SPECI aviation from observation data Bureau of Meteorology Climate zone, synoptic weather charts and other observational data. In addition, simply model for density currents, global data assimilation system (GDAS) meteorological model outputs, and the Australian Community Climate and Earth-System Simulator (ACCESS) operational model products are employed in the research.
