Attending, a committee and a presenter of this event.
I really wish this end fast!

Writing

2011-05-04T08:34:00.000-07:00

Currently busy writing my journal/dissertation project and planning another topic writing. And probably writing or translating some fitness article. I'm not sure yet about the later part.
Anyway, still brainstorming, cracking head for the good writing mood.

me: motivation needed!

Emprical orthogonal Function

2011-03-17T12:17:00.000-07:00

I've been searching and reading few literature about EOF and it's application over meteorology data. It's rather confusing and did not answer my vital question ; Why do we need to perform EOF over the data.
Finally come across this page : http://meteora.ucsd.edu/~jnorris/sio209.sp01/EOF_background.pdf

..clears my inquiries a little, although then another question came, Should or not I use this method to my data?

that's all about research. A question answered just to get us to another question.

Surface Air Temperature over KL

2010-09-17T18:13:00.000-07:00

Since I've missed a few Hurricane and Typhoon posts lately, today, I just want to post my small project, just for fun.
After my friend and probably others too, complaining the extraordinary heat at KL last Feb and March (and probably April too?), I've extracted this NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data and made the anomaly analysis just to see whether there's temperature rise over KL early this year.

The graph showing us the difference between the average monthly and average of 30 years (1971-2000,climatology standard)...
.....which means, for the very first data in the first graph, is the air temp difference between average January 1971 and climatology average of January.
Note that, the temperature value analyzed is at 6UTC, or 2pm local time.

1.Average monthly anomalies (click for clear img)Air temperature anomalies over KL (monthly) from 1971-2010.
Climatology reference year is 1971-2000.

2.Average monthly anomalies (2008-2010)..(click for clear img)Air temperature anomalies over KL, for 2008-2010. Marked in red is the area referring to Feb,Mar,Apr,May 0f 2010, where the temperature seemed over average. (sorry for double legend there, :)...)

That's all I could write right now, `cause I need to get back to my work.

me: (!)this analysis is only for general information and not for decision making related to property protection,etc.

Tropical Storm Mindulle

I've been meaning to post this before yesterday, but I was busy with something else..

Anyway, since the storm is over land, already, probably it is in decaying state now. It was started to speed up on 22nd Aug at northern part of South China Sea, moving forward to northern Vietnam. The depression developed into storm on 23rd Aug..

Storm developed offshore Northern Vietnam. Winds speed: 35knots

The storm landed over Vietnam on 24thAug:

closer look on 24th Aug. winds speed: 60 knots

decaying process, later on 24th..winds speed: 40 knots

currently

2010-08-16T03:16:00.000-07:00

currently I`m struggle finishing test on Walker Cell and Hadley cell, and reading basic stuff regarding Arctic Weather system and Mid-Latitude Weather system.

Pray for me to write something useful here someday soon..

me: can`t write what currently doing since i haven`t finished it yet..heeee~

Classes and Research

2010-07-31T11:15:00.000-07:00

yes..a little bit kerfuffle...with classes at MMD and then running my research and such.
and not to forget some other DISTRACTIONS...
well, thanks God, Prof finished his sabbatical and here already, and i've decided to move on with the current research as my Thesis topic and not the other topic (modelling) which means that I'm 25% done. wow..a few more tests and observation then i'm ready to start writing..and also struggling to write journal paper to be submitted to ISI journal (as one of the MPhil requirement....
Plus, the Geophysics class was twice cancelled. grrrr..
not to forget, classes at MMD really helpful with my research..great..

me: lovin' it!

cannot wait for classes

2010-04-25T23:30:00.000-07:00

cannot wait for classes...

Dynamic Meteorology

Physical Meteorology

Synoptic Meteorology

Tropical Meteorology

Oceanography

Climatology

Geophysics and Tsunami

and Analysis and Weather Forecast!

me: MMD...here I come...!

some new idea for journal

2010-04-14T00:37:00.000-07:00

i've got several new idea for journal writing...but , yet, i have little time to spend investigating 'em (at least until this July-after conference and also when my 'real' proposal done...)..well, since i'm under scholarship now, i feel more motivated- i hope this will last longer..heeehoooo~... don't get me wrong, the motivation can be towards a lot of thing, not only toward my research, which, my research is still the main reason i'm doing this...

if they were rejected, i will post some of the ideas here..that would be a great start and here is the best platform, i guess..

me: still under 'not enough sleep' influence.... still counting time to write something heavy in here..;p

update

2010-04-11T19:59:00.000-07:00

woah..this blog is 'spose to be a platform to write sth about earth science, my idea , etc etc...but i am too busy with everything..everything..haaaa...maybe later, after july perhaps? aor in between, i'll try to update, while updating my other blog..heh..

me: time to eat..lapar~

WRF-Teleconnection-ObservationVsModelling

2010-04-10T11:31:00.000-07:00

three things in my mindd....
not to forget the scholarship thingy...
and possibility of one friend come to see what happening with PRECIS
but the WRF is running and each running gonna take 17 hours (give and take) - slow processor, por favor.
and there's 11 runs to go...so, 11x17=187 hrs...yea baby!

me: tired eyes, staring at the LCD long enuf!

Innovation and Creativity Expo

2010-03-31T00:09:00.001-07:00

I'll be at this expo for 3 afternoon...another time stealer of the month. anyhow, i'll try to enjoy the exhibition, since exhibition is not something new to me...and who knows, if there's a time where less people visiting, i can read something or do something...

Still, the progress, of the research....
since i cannot really relate the siberian high index ( pressure average) with Arctic Oscillation Index - correlation coefficient lower than i hope it would be (unless i made a mistake) - i've decided to look at different way..just see the average pressure at negative and positive AO. generally it gave some agreement with hypothesis, but ENSO index! gosh, i still cannot relate the SHI to ENSO with popular beliefs..argh

me: setting up booth now..

Focus!

2010-03-24T00:44:00.000-07:00

Lack of them lately..urgh..
Now, 2 things in my mind...
1. teleconnection project
2. my dissertation

got my dissertation specific topic, but then, i need to finish this lagging teleconnection research. such a slooowwwwwwwwwwww...slow slow slow slow slow....sigh~

me: pls, motivation!

Another GrADS probs..

2010-02-02T03:17:00.000-08:00

huh...i've came across this prob before but since it was a few weeks ago (and i was in rushing, ) i did not found what alteration i did. but then, i just found the conflict. felt so silly..hahaha..

after finish doing gs file for 5 day average, and output the DAT file and read it with CTL file, this GS file created to print the single value in text file..

GrADS in LINUX for WRF

2010-01-16T00:27:00.000-08:00

Got one problem today while scripting in GrADS, in hand-on training. we are animating and printing streamline and rainfall information.

the script is like this (shorter version):

********************************************************************************

'reinit'

'open test1.ctl'

tt=2

while (tt<74)

'c'

'set t'tt

'set gxout shaded'

'define rain = rainc+rainnc'

'set lev 1000'

'd rain'tt

'set lev 850'

'set gxout stream'

'd u;v'

'printim test'tt'.png white'

tt=tt+1

endwhile

******************************************************************

note that rain and rainnc data are available in level 1000 only.

and u;v data available in several atmospheric level (19 to be exact)

The output data works for t=2, but then the rain data became 'undefined' (for the rest of t)...

After a few time of figuring out how to solve the problem, we came with moving 'set lev 1000'

to above 'define rain=rainc+rainnc' ,

My theory is the 'define rain' data need also to be set to 'set lev 1000' for the 2nd looping, because the second execution bringing the value of level=850 (that being used for wind output) into the 'define rain' calculation..so, the defined 'rain' is now in value at 850 hPa, instead of level 1000...

so, we adjusted >>

********************************************************************************

'reinit'

'open test1.ctl'

tt=2

while (tt<74)

'c'

'set t'tt

'set lev 1000'

'set gxout shaded'

'define rain = rainc+rainnc'

!****!

'd rain'tt

'set lev 850'

'set gxout stream'

'd u;v'

'printim test'tt'.png white'

tt=tt+1

endwhile

******************************************************************

me: GrADS help is so limited especially in simple-easy problem, i'll try to write something more complicated whenever i'm in intermediate-advanced level..hihihi

WRF training

2010-01-11T21:46:00.000-08:00

Having training on January's weekend. Saturday and Sunday morning. WRF(Weather Research and Forecasting) and MM5 (Mesoscale Modelling).. Nice one. On weekend, because the trainers are from Malaysian Meteorological Dept, and they are working on weekdays.. anyhow, i'm looking forward for the end result of this training.. then i can start doing modelling! wow...can't wait (even though i feel lousy right now..aarrgghh!)

and currently doing training, accessing linux server system using windoes, xmanager. cool~

Current Doing

2009-12-22T23:28:00.000-08:00

Yeah! Finally i can update this blog with some useful info by me..ha ha

Currently i'm doing pentad-climatology for Sea Level Pressure, and try to concentrate on longitude range 60^oE to 140^oE. and now doing some time series to see the pattern of the Siberian high. still in data-extraction stage. i hope can go so much faster. please 'distraction', leave me alone!

.......still having errors! AAARGHH!!

me: fast, faster!!

GrADS, AOGS2010, Thesis

2009-10-28T19:45:00.000-07:00

Three things that i have to do in once...not yet including sculpturing my body! anyway, i just got task from Prof A, mapping some biological data..well, i like the work, just time to complete it may take for awhile, which will definitely have to share with time that i have to brainstorming the Abstract to be submitted for AOGS2010 (deadline is 1Dec) and considering and reading articles and journal, not to forget studying Dynamic Meteorology, MATLAB and looking back to C/C++ and statistics... wow, my life is full with study..yet i have to enjoy part of it so that i wont be 'regretting' for not doing so. especially going to gym and get the best shape of my life..

me:pray hard for a better life

Writing

2009-09-30T01:10:00.000-07:00

oh-keeyyhh...i am now brainstorming what to write (essential items) in 3 topics i am suppose to start writing, Siberian High,ENSO and Arctic Oscillation. and after that ( or during) i will start relating it to the malaysian NE monsoon. (>.<) Sooo many!

me: Feels like i've been brainstorming since 3 months ago! huhu..o yeah, i was distracted by learning Dynamic meteorology by myself and scripting...essential knowledge though. Vectors!! OMG. i need to brush up my vector knowledge. grrr!!!

huh~

2009-09-29T19:39:00.001-07:00

It's been about 3 months...i have produce nothing. i should have done at least a quarter of it. and study on your own is soooooooooooooo.....oooooooooo slow, and i missed a guide from a person named TEACHER. Anyhow anyway, i need to push myself further...Ganbatteeee!!!!!

me: hup hup huuppp!!

it's quite easy actually, but without strong basic it's damn confusing. anyway, manipulating it for real life use can be very confusing. well, i need to learn this a lot more. (including all the AO, ENSO writing and Dynamic meteorology stuff)

A.K.A my table at National Antarctic Research Center..LOL

choices

2009-07-30T11:05:00.000-07:00

this page is so slow to load! sicko!

Anyway, while i was doing thing on GrADS and reading essentials of meteorology, a lot of thing came into my mind. well, finally i asked my currently supervisor, about the financial-assistanship offer from U.K.M. He said, he won't hold any of his student to stayu there long but adviced me to at least stay there for better exposure. and i said, of course i will at least finish my MPhil at U.M first, before I can go anywhere i chose to. The exposures he meant are so great, he said that he has connection with cambridge and univ of washington, i i need a reference for my PhD in the future. Wow, that's early right? even my MPhil's offer letter is still pending.

Good to know that, i [most probably] having job after finishing MPhil and later PhD.

In the mean time, i need to at least take a glimps of which uni i'll go for PhD. since i need to be in Math department [not earth science like i was planned way before i finished my BSc],i came across a lot of interesting applied maths field they offer, especially in modelling climate, atmosphere and enviroment. Right now, i have three uni that i will consider. Univ of Washington, Austalian National University and University of New South Wales. they have an interesting interdepartment research, which combined my both interest, maths and meteorology.
anyway, i was thinking, is it possible if they support me for graduate degree before i go for PhD...?
i pray to God that everything will be fine, and give me strength to make all this happen.

Workshop on Hydrologic Data Management and Modelling in South East Asia

2009-07-20T10:49:00.001-07:00

I am attending this workshop this week, well as a secretariat but since they have vacant computers, so, I should not let this opportunity just passed. anyway, the presenters are actually from Univ of California,San Diego, apparently under San Diego Supercomputer Center.

This workshop anyway more to hydro information and of course data management. so, not directly related to my field of study, but i am trying to extract information as much as i can from this one week workshop. especially the model they use.

most of the participants are from South East Asian countries, representing their institutions and agencies.

Great thanks to Dr Ilya Zavlasky, Dr Tom Whitenack from SDSC, California, for this informative workshop. and other participants including Dr Dave, from UCSD.

me: remember how Prof Ganikhodjaev pronounce "have" exactly the same as Dr Zavlasky does! LOL...

First Hands-On lesson

2009-07-14T19:34:00.000-07:00

I am so excited 'bout this.

First day of ...kind of ..new life....

2009-07-09T08:25:00.000-07:00

First day? nothing much. except that i have to run from NARC to Geo Dept and sweating like hell. Then went back to NARC [luckily by bus]. And good thing to hear from Prof Azizan is, he will sent me to a Training on MM5 and another new program for weather modelling at malaysian meteorological Dept at date soon-to-be-told. Currently, i just get familiarize myself with meteorology and atmospheric science stuff..hoho... and he expected that I will be able to simulate the weather system [as an outcome for the research], which i am sooo nervous about it..haha..owh..it's not nervous! it's adrenalin!!

oh yea..i stopped by at Bank Islam UM branch for awhile, to transfer my money. then, apparently my data in the bank server still "staff account", and need an offiver to override the transaction, the teller asked me
"siapa fadzil?"
"saya.."
"owh..staff bank islam ke?"
"ex..."
then the conversation just went on and on... and I actually felt acknowledged by them. wah~ what a great feeling..hahahahahahahahaha... the officer actually knew that one of 'uia branch' staff will come to UM for study, thanks to my ex-boss for telling the whole branches..ciss...

me: lalalala~

First Day

2009-07-08T19:09:00.000-07:00

Alhamdulillah, finally I got into National Antarctic Research Center, not being an officer, but as a research assistant. It's a good start isn't it? I hope so. So, this morning, I have to finish up two forms and required the head of the research to sign. i haven't got on line with him yet but I will definitely try to do this as soon as possible. yesterday, I called him, and he said that he will send me to Malaysian Meteorological Department for MM5 training. So, I am so excited to go. the training will held on...err...around two or three weeks from now. so i guess, before that I will be clueless, staying here alone. hmm.. maybe i should reads something for my upcoming master.

me: clueless~

Another Delay

2009-06-25T07:22:00.000-07:00

I called IPPP today, and of course, i should expect the dissatisfied answer from them. This time, they told me that she can't look at the application, as the person in charge was on leave and the door is locked. i was totally freak out and upset, and was almost having anxiety attack! my chest was sooooo heavy, i couldn't breath easily. anyhow, i managed to get out of the office and found my way to cafe, to get some coffee, food and chocolate. eating is the best way to disturb my mind from thinking this shit. God....i should watch what i eat... fadzil! remember, one of your goal is to be FIT, not FAT!

well, the delay, hopefully, only until tomorrow, as she asked me to call her tomorrow
"first thing i will do tomorrow morning is to check your application" she said.
yea rite. i hope she meant what she said. i am crying dying hanging my head about this thing...or, i will find a way to do Meteorology no matter in malaysia or abroad...I WILL...

one thing that is not really surprise actually, i am never ever regret quitting banking. really, it wasn't what i want to do for the rest of my life. that's why i took ICT instead if Management Sc for my Minor courses, aite? well, i really want to be in meteorology field, no matter doing reserch [which intriguing..] or teaching it. or even applied math to meteorology would be so fun..yeah, what the hell, i will not stop until i get what i want. Don't Stop!

me: O Allah, forgive me, and grant me your rahmah..

This Thursday

2009-06-23T06:46:00.000-07:00

well, i am expecting an answer on this Thursday regarding my application on Research Assistant at University Malaya. Either at Inst. of Oceanography and Earth Science or National Antarctic Center, I have no idea. But, it will definitely about meteorology involving climate modelling which is really intriguing...
Pray hard for this opportunity so then i will clearly see my future target.
God, help me...

Is Climate Change Normal?

2009-05-26T09:51:00.000-07:00

from this blog.

Is climate change is a natural call? apparently, the earth's atmosphere condition/ climate has been in changing since the creation. ice age came and gone.

the blogger claimed that in the medieval warmer time, the earth temperature is higher than now. and currently earth temperature has not increase since 1998.

one funny thing bout the term change,
greenhouse effects -> global warming -> climate change -> carbon footprint...

what is carbon footprint anyway?

A carbon footprint is "the total set of GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions caused directly and indirectly by an individual, organization, event or product" (UK Carbon Trust 2008).

i.e. using fossil fuel to release energy which results pollution...

me: solely from skimming the text..probably need sources to write compact post on this issue..haha

Global Warming or Climate Change

2009-05-13T06:43:00.000-07:00

originally read from this blog.

Saudi is expected to be covered with snow this may. May? almost summer, should it be OK? well, God can make anything happened. Saudi was covered with snow before, within early years, which is nothing odd about that.winter become colder, summer probably will be hotter..

it came to my mind that global warming may not even suitable to be used. Climate change is.

anyway, the Saudi and snow issue came to debate, where the meteorological service at Saudi forecasted the minimum temperature is 50 deg Celcius. 50? that's hot. we'll see the truth.

Hotness and RA-ship

Noticable warm and hot here in Malaysia, probably because of the summer monsoon coming. I'm still waiting any information bout this anomalies temperature. well, anyway, my M.Phil application is still pending. Apparently because of the summer monsoon coming. I'm still waiting the information about this.

Anyway, my M.Phil application still pending. Apparently, the second reviewer still hasn't send the report to the administration. So, I told my supervisor-to-be, and he will try to push it. It's Ok, i hope everything will be fine. Just worried about my scholarship.
However,he will try to push my Research Assistantship as early as June to start.
That's great. I certainly hope that i will be in meteorology circle so the faster I get involve in it, the faster I can read and write about it. Current job so not giving me a lot of chance to read a lot about meteorology. Too many things to do.

Still looking waht informative post to be post here.

Welcome to this Amature Earth Science blog. In early posts, it's gonna be a mix of various earth science topics, but probably, after a few months, it's gonna be a lot of climate and meteorology topics.

Well, this is a place for me to express my idea regarding Earth Science. Hopefully this can add up to many informative articles in the Internet.

Welcome.

Mild Earthquake in Malaysia on 27 March 09

2009-04-07T17:32:00.000-07:00

If any of you still don't know about this quite an old story, there was a mild earthquake at Pahang.

First time [I heard] about an earthquake centered in peninsular Malaysia. Seismologist need to do something here. The earthquake centered at 65Km northeast Bentong, Pahang , at a 3.0 scalar Richter [brunei.fm], caused no damaged.

On April 7, 2009, there was a moderate earthquake occurred [magnitude 5.5 on Richter scale] in Banda sea, Indonesia at 9.30 pm. The earthquake epicenter is located at 6.5south latitude and 129.6 east longitude, 1755km from southeast of Tawau, Sabah [jkc.gov.my]
