Sir Boab - What does STJ stand for ?

Subtropical Jetstream.


subtropical jet stream, a belt of strong upper-level winds lying above regions of subtropical high pressure. Unlike the polar front jet stream, it travels in lower latitudes and at slightly higher elevations, owing to the increase in height of the tropopause at lower latitudes. The associated horizontal temperature gradients of this jet stream do not extend to the surface, so a surface front is not evident. In the tropics an easterly jet is sometimes found at upper levels, especially when a landmass is located poleward of an ocean, so the temperature increases with latitude.

I'm going for a BIG LATE WET. soi is still in positive territory even though the BoM has declared the La Nina has peaked and in decline. The LOWs/Cyclones are about to kick off. We were spoilt in 2011 so expectations are too high atm, so sit back, relax, and enjoy.

I vote February is my best bet we should start to see the Monsoon coming in that may bring a few Tropical Cyclone around the WA and NT and the Queensland coral sea.

I am of the understanding that Qld can still get good rainfall irrespective of whether we have La Nina or not (it is not the only factor).

If I am to believe some models, it is going to be quite wet down my way next week, but that is what they said last week and we ended up with just 40mm.

Looking at the deveoping MT and the amount of water in the atsmosphere making things unstable, very high chance of breaking many rain records during Jan to April in 2012. NSC :-)
