Love it! Now I want one for an entire year!


Me too. Why have we been kept waiting so long. (Mind you the reanalyses
projections can do something similar in Windows XP.)

What is the nature of the tropical storm/hurricane like features
that seem to originate from the Panama region and drift out south
of Mexico in the first in the half of the sequence? I have vaguely
heard that you get hurricanes in this region but of course due to the
topography they are unlikely to ever make landfall.


How about this for a guess: The Southern Atlantic has no continental
boundaries.

Am I the only one who thinks that the northern half of the Atlantic is a
basin that has a downspout in the middle and surging tornadic updraughts
circulating about it rather in the manner of a largeish hurricane?

I bet the Jupitans wonder what causes it and why it has lasted so long.
