Thanks for that link on the climate kelpies. It was a fabulous initiative. So glad the site and concept is still online.
I haven't seen a link to this site from the BOM web site. Maybe l didn't look hard enough?

I spent a bit of time looking in their yesterday and found some great stuff.

One particular article l posted on my blog. Linking the polar vortex to dry and warm conditions in NE Australia.

I thought this article was very pertinent to our current weather pattern this past autumn and winter.
A weakened polar vortex brings warm and try to the NE section of OZ..

I am going to look into this research a bit more in the coming days when time permits .
My initial thoughts were .Gee another climate kelpie ...called PV? (polar vortex)

Actually whilst trying to track the original research article source which is no longer connected. damn.
I saw some fabulous research from our own home grown Australia

I thought l might start a new thread tomorrow to highlight some of the research work that is being done on our own soil.
