tropical interconvergence Explanation: tropical interconvergence -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 mins (2003-10-29 22:28:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- We are moving nicely at 5.3 knots, headed for the pass through the northern Lau Group into the Tongan Sea. From there it is about a three or four day beat to Samoa. I go below to listen to John on Norfolk Island give the weather forecast. He says we can expect light to moderate SE winds. There is a long tropical interconvergence zone extending from the Solomons right across the Pacific through Wallis, Samoa, all the way to French Polynesia. A great serpent like line formed where the vast circulation systems of the southern hemisphere roll up against the equatorial atmospheric circulation system. http://www.cruising-fiji.com/22BEAT.HTM |
