Australian Meteorological Magazine - 2008 Papers

The Australian Meteorological Magazine is published four times per year, nominally in March, June, September and December.

PDF copies of all papers published in the Australian Meteorological Magazine will be available on this site as each issue is published.

Most papers are available in low and high-resolution versions. High-resolution versions have better image quality but are much larger downloads (most high-resolution papers are 1-5 MB, most low-resolution papers are 50-250 KB).

A corrigendum to the Gallant et al. paper from the December 2007 issue was published in the June 2008 issue. Corrigenda were also published in the June 2008 issue to the Seaman and Le Marshall et al. papers from the March 2008 issue. On this website corrected versions of the original papers are shown. (The corrigendum to the Le Marshall et al. paper relates to a printing error - the version originally posted on the web was unaffected).
