Black Saturday
2019 marks ten years since the Black Saturday bushfires in
Victoria. This issue we publish reflections from a resident of
Kinglake and a summary of the AMOS Event "A decade on:
Lessons from Black Saturday". The event was held on Tuesday
5 February 2019, with five of the nation’s fire weather experts
presenting on research relating to the bushfires.

Sensors and schools
A new citizen science project in schools has launched and is
looking at working with students to install instruments and
monitor the atmosphere. Schools Weather and Air Quality
(SWAQ) is a project funded by the Australian Government and
will work with 20 schools across Sydney to collect data for
urban climate, meteorology and air quality research. Read all

Seasonal snaps
The summer edition of this section presents photographs
taken around Australia. We received some great before and
after photos from storms across Melbourne. A couple of great
snaps of unusual phenomena, such as sea-mist, were also
captured. We look forward to seeing what the weather brings
to you this autumn—share your snaps to BAMOS for next
issue!
