<div>Has anyone ever noticed a pattern of disks in equatorial latitudes lasting significantly longer than say Sydney or Melbourne? I notice the Foucault Period for Brisbane is 52hrs vs Melbourne's 39hrs and can't but wonder if this doesn't mean Brisbane based
DCs will have their disks last 30% longer, or Darwin x3.<br>
