Abstract: In this, the first of a series of three papers on the structure of be summertime cool change of southeastern Australia, the prevailing climatological conditions are established, a background given to each of the cool changes ...

Abstract: Observations of the Australian summertime cool change have ranged over both the subsynoptic scale (200?2000 km) and the mesoscale (20?200 km). In this paper, the final in a series of three, a conceptual subsynoptic and ...

Abstract: An approach to verifying position forecasts of line phenomena was developed. The technique, which tests for occurrence/nonoccurrence and the time of arrival of line phenomena, was applied to frontal position prognoses over ...

Abstract: The evolution of an oceanic prefrontal subcloud layer of continental origin was examined by analyzing data gathered on the subsynoptic and mesoscale during Phase III of the Australian Cold Fronts Research Program. ...

Abstract: A climatology of the prefrontal westerly trough of southern Australia is presented, based on data for the 10-yr period 1976?85. Trough formation was confined to the longitudes of the Australian continent in the warmer ...

Abstract: A case study of frontogenesis within a surface prefrontal trough over southern Australia is presented. The trough developed ahead of a surface cold front and, over a period of approximately 24 h, intensified into a mature ...

Abstract: Much of the significant weather of southeastern Australia is associated with the passage of cold fronts. In summer, such passages are often accompanied by rapid and extreme temperature fails, as hot continental northerly ...

Abstract: Following the analysis of data collected during Phases land II of the Cold Fronts Research Programme (CFRP) a conceptual model for the Australian summertime ?cool change? has been proposed. The model provides a focus and ...
