I don't know if things are going to get back to normal or if there has
been a seasonal change there. But take a look at this run over the
next 150 hours:

http://www.bom.gov.au/australia/char...Refresh+ View

First off, concentrate on the precipitation out of Africa and see
where it goes, straight into the continent and stays there.

Next time around, watch a confluence from South America join it.
The charts finish before any conclusions can be drawn.

It looks like it could get interesting though. It might even supply a
crib into the way that meteorological computer programmes might be
bent to include seismic disturbances.

Someone wake the hell up in the Met Office if you want to develop the
global model. Sleep now and the Yanks will grab your arse and give it
another good pounding.

See if I care!

A low on the southern tip of Greenland sending earthquake signals out
into the Atlantic midnight 16th, turns into a deep Low over Ireland
midnight on the 18th, dispersing over Britain by noon.

Dense Lows deepen off Antarctica (30 and 140 East) 06:00 UTC today
deepen and by 05:00 on the 17th disperse.

That's got to be worth a couple of sixes.
Unless they have already happened:

6.2 2012/04/14 10:56:19 DRAKE PASSAGE

Maye a seven then?
I suppose it all depends on how certain the scientists are over the
next few forecasts.

Nope. She's back on song folks.

And guess who dropped on a Reader's Digest Atlas of The World in a
charity shop for 20p. yesterday, in plenty of time to keep this
immensely useful show on the road?

Who needs a government hand out now then?
New supercomputer my arse. They don't even know how to use the one

The next roll of the dice for powerful quakes according to the BOM
Antarctic chart looks like the weekend. Take a look at the three dark
regions on Saturday:

http://www.bom.gov.au/australia/char...Refresh+ View

It looks like 2 more Magnitude 6s but the Met Office is indicating
nothing of the osort. So it will probably be something else. More
tornadoes in the USA?

I have no idea. There is actually a boat anchor heading for the Baltic
on Thursday. We are more than due for a theatric phreatic but I really
shouldn't say.

There was. But it is gone now. It seems its all over when the Vanuatu
lady sings.

I wonder if this:
5.2 M. 2012/04/18. @ 01:18 VANUATU
is true for all series or just these types.

Anyway there is no boat anchor over the Baltic on today's run. The
charts are full of mice though.
And what is interesting about Saturday on the Antarctic chart runs is
that there is a confluence that puts pressure on the BRH quadrant as
far as the South Pole - TWICE:
06:00 Saturday and
06:00 Sunday.

I've no idea what that means, as usual of course. But it is
interesting.
Meanwhile, I should be looking at the NWS charts.
Maybe next week.

It disappears by Monday but take a look at how the Polar Low (if I may
be allowed a litle license) swells out into the Pacific to 40 S.

That happened last week, south of Australia, about when the two super-
quakes struck. It's too far off to take it all that seriously but
you'd have to be a fool to ignore it. (But don't let me stop you.)

Here's one ofd them:

2012/04/21
6.6 M. @ 01:16. 1.6 S. 134.3 E. NEAR THE NORTH COAST OF PAPUA,
INDONESIA

and 06:00 Sunday.

Due any tims in th next few hours some distance from Indonesia I
presume as it is a 1/3 of the way around the continent.

It disappears by Monday but take a look at how the Polar Low
swells out into the Pacific to 40 S.

It is the end of the spell today but the North Atlantic becomes the
picture of last week with a patchy incoherence reminescent of that
large quake series.

The system off the Peninsula breeds a few more beforew the next spell
ends. Look out for early Monday about 5pm UT. Then a smaller event
some 24 hours later. followed by a lage one again (though it could be
a triple quake of smaller magnitudes) over by Wednesday evening.

Maybe a 5M. again on Thursday morning and then it gets interesting
Friday. Maybe the system will disperse over the Peninsula?
The spell doesn't end until the 29th though and Friday is only the
26th.

Meanwhile, Hlaf a continent away, there is another large system
brewing towards the end of the chart run.

Well, it was certainly some distance from Indonesia.

It was some other things too but you'll have to ask god about that.

It disappears by Monday but take a look at how the Polar Low
swells out into the Pacific to 40 S.

It is the end of the spell today but the North Atlantic becomes the
picture of last week with a patchy incoherence reminiscent of that
large quake series.


The system off the Peninsula breeds a few more before the next spell
ends.

This may offer us an insight about which wave was which.

My guess is that the more extraordinary one was the the system rubbing
up against the Antarctic Peninsula.
1. It's on the right longitude and
2. It behaves so differently.

Pity I got banned from the Storm Watch empire.
(The stupid buggers ain't got no sense of humour.)

Look out for early Monday about 5pm UT. Then a smaller event
some 24 hours later. followed by a large one again (though it could be
a triple quake of smaller magnitudes) over by Wednesday evening.

Maybe a 5M. again on Thursday morning and then it gets interesting
Friday. Maybe the system will disperse over the Peninsula?
The spell doesn't end until the 29th though and Friday is only the
26th.

What happens with tornado cells is that they sweep up from the South
West and run North East diurnally over a three day period so it might
pay to look more closely at the way the Lows off Antarctica are
forecast to behave.

I only gave a rough estimate, ignoring precipitation and the behaviour
of the anticyclones. Not guessing what was happening. (There was no
signal I could see in ther North Atlantic.)

Meanwhile, Hlaf a continent away, there is another large system
brewing towards the end of the chart run.

There are no fronts in the charts I was looking at but the Australian
site I got them from does produce a set with charts. Unfortunately it
is in two separate charts. I have no idea why. But they are stored
online as archives he

http://www.bom.gov.au/australia/char...ic_ocean.shtml

I wish I could hear what sounds they make.

OK! That's it then.

Problem solved,


....for now.

Any questions?
