Weather watchers gather to study Darwin clouds :
"More than 200 international scientists, technicians and students are in Darwin to study thunder clouds and what they find out will be used to improve weather forecasting."
This project has been 3 years in the planning. The guys we saw on the news last night seemed to be very professional, very enthusiastic, very unassuming and ready to work hard on getting information we can use. They are looking at thunderstorms in particular to get data about storm activity. Darwin has a lot of storms so it's a good place to go for that kind of information. I just hope they cope with the humidity. Drives some people batty! I'm sure they'll appreciate the warmness of the locals and the laid back lifestyle.
