So the paper I posted was wrong. Big whoop.

It is a *big whoop* if you are trying to make a point.

This looks like a tropical cyclone in the s. hemisphere off the
northeast coast of Australia - is that right? Nice picture.

In any case, it is seen spinning clockwise at the surface, just what
one would expect s. of the equator. At higher altitudes, cloud
moisture is often seen spinning off in the anticyclonic direction
(direction opposite the spin of the surface cyclone) for it's
respective hemisphere - but that's because the outflow up high
represents a high pressure area (which is naturally anticyclonic) as
opposed to the surface low of the storm.
