Question The BoM "Fog Forecasting at Sydney Airport" Project

Lookleft, thanks for the link on VH-QPC, it was most informative.

A key Safety Action was:

Bureau of Meteorology

The BoM advised that the occurrence was reviewed at a Fog Workshop on 13 July 2004, which resulted in the establishment of the 'Fog Forecasting at Sydney Airport' project. The aim of the project is to review the existing forecasting methodologies and guidance material used to predict fog at Sydney aerodrome. The BoM intends to use the results from the review and subsequent real-time testing to implement a structured set of objective guidelines that are intended to improve the accuracy of fog forecasting at Sydney aerodrome.

The project is a joint undertaking by staff from the Bureau's Sydney Airport Meteorological Unit and the Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre, in collaboration with researchers at Monash and Macquarie Universities. The project team members are currently constructing an expanded climatological database for Sydney aerodrome and reviewing the predictors for fog. The planned completion date for the project is December 2005.
Does anyone have a copy of the project Final Report?
