Easterlies have a major role in shaping our landscape

Its January 6th 2022 and  SW  Victoria is experiencing the effects of a deep low and easterly winds.
We here in south west Victoria are so used to getting weather from the West ,we forget to see how other rain can occur .
When it arrives as it were, out of nowhere, it needs understanding as these easterlies have a major role in forming the landscape --  particularly as the flows generated  can move the boulders and bedload in our few boulder streams ( like the Barham river ) and cause the high daily totals that create landslides  of mountain size proportions ( see later post )

Why do our governments continue to keep us in the dark ? 

Two very notable locals known as Paddy and Erwin helped me  understand the incredible erosion and floods in November 95 . The boffins at the Met bureau refused to accept their measurements ( official recorders BOTH) when they called before 9 am and said they had both recorded about 500mm in a day .

Why do our governments continue to keep us  and themselves in the dark ?
So much for reliable data on climate change 
The Met bureau keep changing recording sites even to this day . The Met bureau  dismissed long time observer Frank Minchington's great work for this country ( often mentioned by Edwin Maher on ABC news) by carelessly  MOVING  the official  recording station .

So much for reliable data on climate change 
Colac's recording station has moved that many times, its role in measuring long term climate change is useless . In some kind of mad fit ,the Met bureau now call Mt Gellibrand weather Colac's weather , which means we have to now measure our own. 

The people have every right to be suspicious of those who throw stones from their glass houses and screens in the city .
This is not the first time the Met bureau have supported such stupidity in our area . You can read one full story here by going back to 95 .

Another example 
Toowoomba floods are a classic example of the above named phenomena . yet the media went after the dam managers and all sorts of other explanations. 

So how does it work ? 
Needless to say the very moist air will drop its load very easily if there is a little bit of uplift especially that caused by hills . If the wind is water laden ( recently well over 90%) and keeps being pushed over hills, it will keep raining , Most Clouds only carry enough water at maximum to give about an 1inch ( 25mm ) That's heavy rain if it drops  for one hour or even half an hour.  When being pushed upwards ,  clouds  can unload at 25 per hour for 20 hrs  because new clouds keep "arriving ". 

Get and keep qualified scientists in the country ! 


Believe me , unless you vote more carefully next election and educate YOURSELF , you will get more of the same panic driven ignorance and arrogance from those fanatics desperate to keep YOUR attention  .Go Blogger  Bookmark http://thiselection.blogspot.com
