Satellite Notes for the 1800UTC chart on 11 February 2012
Issued at 6:16 am EDT Sunday on 12 February 2012
Patchy middle-level cloud lies near the east coast of Queensland and Cape York Peninsular and is associated with a slow-moving surface trough. Patchy low cloud is also evident about southern Victoria and the south coast of NSW.
An area of middle-level cloud which covers parts of the southern inland of WA is associated with another surface trough while high-level cirrus, associated with the jet stream, lies over the far southwest of the state. The remainder of the continent is predominantly cloud free, although patchy high cloud covers parts of the Top End and Kimberley regions.
