They take the analysis as the starting point and evolve the state of the atmosphere forward in time using understanding of physics and fluid dynamics. Numerical weather prediction models are computer simulations of the atmosphere. Traditional observations made at the surface of atmospheric pressure, temperature, wind speed, wind direction, humidity, precipitation are collected routinely from trained observers, automatic weather stations or buoys.ĭuring the data assimilation process, information gained from the observations is used in conjunction with a numerical model's most recent forecast for the time that observations were made to produce the meteorological analysis. However, the chaotic nature of the atmosphere and incomplete understanding of the processes mean that forecasts become less accurate as the range of the forecast increases. Gather all available weather information before heading out to the mountains for climbing, walking, mountaineering or any other outdoor pursuit.Weather forecasts are made by collecting as much data as possible about the current state of the atmosphere (particularly the temperature, humidity and wind) and using understanding of atmospheric processes (through meteorology) to determine how the atmosphere evolves in the future.

Got home and realised dad had not put the film in the camera properly and it wasn’t winding on. We got lost In the bush in the dark on the way back and happened to make camp on the track which were must have been crisscrossing over. There are two peaks, the next day I was knackered when we got to the top of the lower peak so dad and I started back while Ken and the local guides completed the second peak.
We camped on the ridge below the peak climb for night, froze the night through. I climbed that when I was ten with my Dad John Mclardy and Ken Paterson. I lived in Mendi for three years as a child in the nineties. Enjoy your climbing.Ĭlick here to read 9 more climbing note(s) for Mount Marcy or submit your own Mount Giluwe I would not have enjoyed any rain or low wind chill.
The hike is worth it in these great conditions.
As I look at the mountain weather forecast this week, I see that we probably caught the last good week of the season. This gave us about a 8 mile round trip hike on Tuesday, Oct. In fact, my shoes barely got wet from the planks and rock hopping We were able to claim the last available legal camping site about 1 mile past the lean-tos at Mt. The trail was still muddy but never impassable. We had no rain so the conditions were perfect. The weather was low 40's at night and 60's by the afternoon.
