✦ Synopsis

An index is defined for the date of onset of the north Australian wet-season, based on rainfalls observed at ten stations across tropical Australia. The index is shown to be reasonably representative of wet-season onset throughout the area of interest. Some suggestion of bimodality is found in the frequency distribution of onset dates. An operationally feasible method for predicting the probability that the wet-season will commence late is presented, building on earlier published work which has established the feasibility of prediction of seasonal rainfall near the date of onset of the wet. The forecast method uses the linear logistic equation and Darwin pressures observed in months prior to the onset to make predictions. Acceptable forecasts can be issued four months prior to onset. Two examples of the use of the method are provided.

Particularly in regions, where precipitation is limited to a few months per year only, reliable determination of the onset of the rainy season and the start of the sowing time is of crucial importance to sustainable food production.

A continuous-time Markov chain model, which considers the concept of human errors and recovery factors, is proposed for analysing the reliability of a man-machine system. This model can be applied to industrial systems such as the nuclear power plant, the NC machine cell, and the chemical plant. In
