Well, depends on how you want to classify it - I've got the B.S. in meteorology (no comment on that...haha), but still working at future degrees. But, I've learned a lot here too...especially on forecasting and predicting these things than I've learned in classes, where it's almost all theoretical, especially in the tropics.

Quick reply to danielw (who I can't reply to his PM from this Coriolis subject because he's exceeded his quota...oops...plus it might be relevant to all, as it's on rex blocking.) I usually don't like doing this, but don't want to give the impression of being ignored:

"A Rex block is where you have a high pressure system over (i.e. north of) a low pressure system. What happens is that anything that approaches the broad ridge cannot simply ride up and over, as the flow around the low prevents this. Systems cannot go through either as there is no steering current to push them forward (a col region gets set up between the high and the low). Thus, until a strong enough system comes through to break up the block or either the high or the low weaken (it's usually the latter), you get a whole lot of nothing."
