Bluelink- For Australians, a new ocean simulation service

I just saw it on the news and am looking through the site now,
has anyone checked it out yet?

http://www.bom.gov.au/bluelink/about.html

ocean currents, temps, salinity, etc... it is apparantly quite a big system.
I am very new at reading weather maps and ocean predictions, so would appreciate any discussion here of the potential and applicability of this service,

Thanks, Hans.

Thought you must have lent your sim card to someone and got locked away.

Stimulation is when you are playing with yourself.
Simulation is when you do it in a mirror.

Hey Poida,
that joke was terrorble

by the way, I don't lend my old sim cards, I sell them over the internet... some guy in Afghanistan or something can't seem to be able to get enough of them
anyway,
I wander in and out,
have been spending a fair bit of time lately getting the bits and peices ready for our upcoming haul out- due when it is warmer and dryer...
got my newly built stainless pushpit and timber seating ready to go, amongst much else.

'Ocean simulation' well thats how they described it themselves so I just copied. I wouldn't know what to call it, as I don't really understand what it is.
