Clouds

Only those who fly fully appreciate the wonders that exist out the front of  the cockpit. Our passion is fueled by the experiences of seeing and feeling many things, including the extraordinary cloud types that comprise our living atmosphere.

My memories of clouds include the theory in the class rooms, tempered and case hardened by experiences in the cockpit:

The experiences of crossing, or jumping on the back of Jet Streams (narrow bodies of air that form due to temperature shears that can travel up to 300 kilometers per hour);

The threatening view of roll clouds in front of thunderstorms that took on the colour of their contents (green ocean water) ;

The seemingly innocent and beautiful views of “virga”, rainfall that evaporates before descending to the ground, but acts as the cooling process to create dangerous micro-bursts that are deadly to aircraft near airports;

The fascinating events during lightning strikes to aircraft;

Morning Katabatic winds that roll down mountain slopes in Perth, Adelaide, Jordan and Los Angeles; and

“Rotors” of turbulent air that form in the lee of the escarpment just a few miles to the east of Perth Airport in Western Australia. Every Perth inhabitant who has flown has probably experienced this rough ride just prior to landing or after takeoff.

Through the Inter Tropic Convergence Zone (ITCZ), a corridor ringing the Earth that marks the most heated surface temperatures,  that trails the sun’s highest position in latitude by one month. The warmer surface heats the air more than the surrounding cooler surfaces.

Convective forces lift moist air mass in the ITCZ to form the highest and most spectacular thunderstorms on the planet.

The water vapour causes the wet rising air to cool slower than the surrounding drier ambient air. This growing temperature difference causes the rising column to become even more buoyant in the atmosphere. The buoyant thunderstorm clouds can often ascend at more than 5,000 feet per minute.

The thunderstorm tops rise until the atmosphere becomes stable. The highest stable altitude is found at a point called the Tropopause, where the air temperature remains constant as the altitude increases. The tropopause can be located anywhere from 25,000 (poles) up to 60,000 (equator) feet above the surface. Many ITCZ thunderstorms reach these amazing heights and then then “top out” at  after punching though the tropopause. This is the reasons that the coldest atmospheric temperatures exist over the equator!

Every pilot who flies through the ITCZ knows about these dangers and avoids thunderstorms accordingly. We are always on alert, aware that a “safe” radar picture one minute can change into a “dangerous” paint the next. We never fully trust the radar presentations.

The pilots creed of “one look outside is worth 100 radar scans” holds true and at night. Whilst the passengers are snug in their seats watching the latest video, we have turned down the cockpit lighting to the minimum and pressed our faces against the windows, using the “Mark 1 Eyeball” to scan the outside horizon for dangerous storm cells.

This is just another day in the life of an airline pilot.

Our 400 passengers were either asleep in the A380’s remarkably quiet cabin, or watching one of the thousand in-flight movies. Whilst they relaxed with their window shutters closed, we dodged one ITCZ thunderstorm after another, banking and weaving, banking and weaving through the sky, all the time ensuring that the aircraft rolled at a rate less than three degrees per second – a rate that is undetectable to our passengers. We were busy in the flight deck whilst the passengers presumed that their pilots were carving a straight line through clear skies.

Not a drop was spilled from any glass.

The energy in this thunderstorm, if tapped, would have powered a city for a day.

On January 23rd 1570 James Stewart, the Regent Moray on the abdication of Mary Queen of Scots, was murdered in Linlithgow.

The assassination by James Hamilton of Bothwellhaugh was the first known assassination with a firearm.

Scotland at the time, like much of Europe, was in the depths of a very divisive period, racked by deep religious and political divisions. While James Stewart was a popular Regent with many Scots Queen Mary’s supporters were seeking to undermine his rule, and following the Regent’s reprisals against one of the opposing clans, the Hamiltons, members of the Hamilton Clan decided to kill Moray.

James Hamiltonbegan to stalk theEarl of Moray in late 1569, following him from town to town awaiting an opportunity. Hamilton trailed the Regent across much of Northern England and the Borders and through Perth, Glasgow and Stirling, finally finding his perfect opportunity at Linlithgow on 23rd January 1570 he shot him from a balcony overlooking the street.

After a desperate ride, closely pursued by the Regent's men, Hamilton made it to the safety of his triumphant kin in Hamilton According to Moray's contemporary George Buchanan, the getaway horse was provided by Lord John Hamilton, Abbot of Arbroath. Buchanan wrote that the fatal shot also killed the horse of one of Moray's companions. Regent Moray dismounted, wounded below his navel, walked to his lodging and died the same day at Linlithgow Palace in the hour before midnight.

The incident was described in the contemporary diary of Robert Birrell, second mention of the week for the Edinburgh Burgess.

'The Earl of Moray, the Good Regent, was slain in Linlithgow by James Hamilton of Bothwell-haugh, who shot the said Regent with a gun out at ane window, and presently thereafter fled out at the back, and leapt on a very good horse, which the Hamiltons had ready waiting for him; and, being followed speedily, after that spur and wand had failed him, he drew forth his dagger, and struck his horse behind; whilk causit the horse to leap a very broad stank; by whilk means he escaped.'

The 17th-century historian David Calderwood described the shot as such:

"with a hacquebut, through a tirleis window (shuttered), from a stair whereupon were hunge sheets to drie, but in truthe, to hide the smooke, and make the place the lesse suspected'

Hamilton left the country and went to France where he offered his services to the Guise family, kinsmen of Mary. He was asked to assassinate Gaspard II de Coligny, however he refused, stating that a man of honour was entitled to settle his own quarrels, but not to murder for others.

Hamilton's uncle, the Archbishop of St. Andrews, was captured at Dumbarton and tried and convicted of "art and part" in the Regent's killing. He was hanged at Stirling in April 1571, I hope to pick up on this in a few months for a post about him.

At least two of Bothwellhaugh's letters home were intercepted and kept by the English Secretary of State William Cecil. One letter asked a servant of Mary Queen of Scots to send him financial aid because he had lost "all he had to live on for her Majesty's service." Another, written after the Archbishop's death tells younger brother David Hamilton that he is sending to him with their brother, John Provost of Bothwell, his long guns, pistols and a bulletproof breastplate.

The Hamilton family were declared rebels in October 1579 by the Parliament of Scotland following the capture of their strongholds at Hamilton and Draffen in May. On 21st October 1579 and 10th November, the parliament heard a narrative of the Regent's murder. James Hamilton was called "of Woodhouslee" and "of Woodhouslee alias Bothwellhaugh" in the record. He was said to have shot Regent Moray twice in the belly and navel on 23rd January 1570, with a gun loaded with two lead balls. By his flight to France he had taken responsibility for the treason and murder.

The parliamentary account was derived from the testimony of Arthur Hamilton of Myreton (or Merington), Captain of Hamilton, who was executed in Stirling for his part in the murder on 30th May 1579. James Hamilton's brother Arthur, who was said to have held James's stirrup at Linlithgow (for the getaway) was questioned at Stirling in May 1579, but several lords spoke for his life to be saved.

Four other Hamiltons were accused of directly participating in the Linlithgow murder at the assize at Stirling in May 1579, including, David Hamilton, son of Hamilton of Mirington, laird of Sillerton, they denied the charge but were imprisoned. The main perpetrator, James Hamilton of Bothwellhaugh, was still in France: in the letters of the English ambassador Lord Cobham his title was spelled "Bodilaugh", perhaps an indication of how the name was said.

Additional Tips for Optimal Performance of Your Air Conditioning System in Perth

In Perth's warm climate, maintaining an efficient air conditioning system is essential for comfort and energy savings. Beyond regular servicing, several strategies can enhance your system's performance and longevity. Below are professional recommendations to optimise your air conditioner replacement in Perth.

Enhance Home Insulation

Improving your home's insulation is a fundamental step in reducing the workload on your air conditioning system. Effective insulation minimises heat transfer between the interior and exterior, allowing your air conditioner to maintain desired temperatures with less effort.

Benefits of Improved Insulation

Energy Efficiency: Quality insulation retains cool air during summer and warmth in winter, reducing the need for constant temperature adjustments.

Cost Savings: Lower energy consumption leads to decreased utility bills over time.

Increased Comfort: Consistent indoor temperatures enhance overall living conditions.

Key Areas to Insulate

Walls and Roof: Insulating walls and the roof can significantly prevent heat gain or loss. Materials such as fibreglass, cellulose, or spray foam are effective options.

Doors and Windows: Sealing gaps around doors and windows with weatherstripping or caulking prevents drafts and air leakage.

Floors and Basements: Insulating floors above unconditioned spaces, like garages or basements, contributes to overall energy efficiency.

Professional Assessment

Energy Audit: Consider a professional energy audit to identify areas where insulation can be improved.

Compliance: Ensure that any insulation upgrades meet local building codes and standards in Perth.

Utilise Ceiling Fans

Ceiling fans are a practical addition to your cooling strategy, working alongside your air conditioning system to distribute cool air more effectively.

Advantages of Ceiling Fans

Enhanced Air Circulation: Fans help circulate air throughout the room, promoting a more uniform temperature.

Energy Conservation: Using ceiling fans allows you to set your thermostat higher by several degrees without sacrificing comfort.

Cost Efficiency: Fans consume less electricity compared to lowering the thermostat on your air conditioner.

Operational Tips

Summer Mode: Set the ceiling fan to rotate counterclockwise during the summer months to create a cooling breeze.

Winter Mode: Reverse the fan's direction during winter to redistribute warm air that rises to the ceiling.

Turn Off When Not in Use: Remember to switch off fans when leaving a room to conserve energy.

Installation Considerations

Proper Placement: Install fans in central locations for optimal airflow.

Appropriate Sizing: Choose a fan size suitable for the room's dimensions to ensure effective air movement.

Professional Installation: Engage qualified electricians for safe and compliant installation.

Install Effective Window Treatments

Windows are a significant source of heat gain in homes. Installing the right window treatments can reduce the amount of heat entering your home, easing the burden on your air conditioning system.

Types of Window Treatments

Blinds: Adjustable blinds allow control over the amount of sunlight entering the room.

Curtains and Drapes: Thermal or blackout curtains provide insulation and block sunlight.

Window Films: Reflective or tinted films applied to windows reduce glare and solar heat gain.

Benefits

Energy Reduction: Proper window treatments can significantly reduce heat gain, lowering cooling costs.

UV Protection: They protect furnishings and flooring from fading due to ultraviolet light exposure.

Privacy and Light Control: Enable adjustment of natural light levels while maintaining privacy.

Implementation Tips

Layering: Combining blinds with curtains can enhance insulation.

Automated Options: Motorised blinds or curtains can adjust based on time of day or temperature.

External Shading: Consider external solutions like awnings or shutters for additional protection.

Additional Strategies

Implementing the following measures can further improve your air conditioning system's efficiency:

Regular Maintenance

Scheduled Servicing: Arrange for professional inspections and servicing of your air conditioning system at least once a year.

Filter Care: Replace or clean air filters regularly to ensure proper airflow and indoor air quality.

System Monitoring: Keep an eye out for unusual noises or performance issues and address them promptly.

Smart Thermostats

Programmable Settings: Use a programmable thermostat to adjust temperatures according to your daily routine.

Remote Access: Smart thermostats allow you to control your system remotely via smartphone apps.

Energy Insights: Some models provide energy usage reports to help optimise settings.

Landscaping for Shade

Plant Trees and Shrubs: Strategically plant vegetation to shade windows and outdoor air conditioning units.

Greenery: Incorporate plants on roofs or walls to reduce heat absorption.

Ground Coverings: Use materials that reflect heat in your landscaping.

Improve Ventilation

Natural Ventilation: Utilise cooler evening breezes by opening windows when appropriate.

Exhaust Fans: Install exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms to remove excess heat and humidity.

Seal Ducts: Ensure that ductwork is properly sealed to prevent cool air from escaping.

Conclusion

Optimising your air conditioning system in Perth involves a combination of home improvements and strategic practices. Enhancing insulation, using ceiling fans, and installing effective window treatments can significantly improve efficiency and reduce energy costs. Regular maintenance and adopting smart technologies further contribute to optimal performance.

If your system is outdated or not performing efficiently, it may be time for an air conditioner replacement in Perth. Professional assistance from qualified technicians can ensure you select the right system for your needs and that it's installed correctly for maximum efficiency.
