Antipodes anticipation Influenced by the wet and windy Southern Ocean as well as the boiler box of the earth - south east Asia - climate in the Antipodes provides the forecaster with plenty of challenging moments. Infra red satellite images Australia and New Zealand in infra Red, updated every six hours, thanks to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. The best thing about this link, is that the bureau keeps all images for seven days, allowing you to download, and animate individual images to get an idea of trends. Australasia in infra-red: This image shows Australia and New Zealand north to Thailand. The infrared pictures measure the temperature of the cloud tops, which can be used to determine their height. The whiter clouds are colder than the grayer clouds in this image. Surface pressure maps South-West Pacific Surface pressure forecasts up to 72 hours in advance using the US Aviation model, customised at the University of Wellington, NZ. Australia, Tasman and Coral Seas Surface pressure forecasts up to 72 hours (four days) in advance using the Australian Bureau of Meteorology's model. Indian Ocean Surface
pressure of Australia to the west of Kerguelen Surface pressure of the Indian Ocean, showing waters to the west of Western Australia thanks to Ocean Weather. Surface pressure taken from the National Center of Environmental Prediction's Aviation Model. These maps are plotted every 3 hours, and are available approximately 1 hour after valid time. Australia Pressure maps from surface to 200mb in six separate images thanks to the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (formerly the National Meteorological Center). All maps use the COLA model and are produced by IGES, the Institute of Global Environment and Science. Surface winds Surface winds in the northern Tasman Sea and southern Coral Sea using 'quickSCAT' satellite technology.Surface winds for the southern Tasman Sea including the South Island of New Zealand.
