Brisbane, Australia

Meteorologist working in Perth, WA.Contributed to the RFC by analyzing METAR/SPECI data from Brisbane airport to link precip to vis reductions which helped with setting INTER/TEMPO conditions in TAFs.Completed a project to analyse temp data which resulted in reliable min screen temp thresholds for frost formation. Eg. for a min temp of 2C, ground temp is.
