2003-2004 Cyclone Season

2nd - 6th of March South East Queensland Subtropical Storm

2-6 March was the only Subtropical Storm that year. Roger Edson -"I really tried to get JTWC to start a 'suspect area' over this area--for research, anyway. But, they started one (I think it was 95P) then dropped it--with the change of shift. I wanted to record the MI images for this kind of 'subtropical-type' system. It seemed to have a good sig a 37Ghs but definitely NOT a good (circular) 85h signature (as one would expect for a bonafide TC)."[3][4]
