I don't pretend to know their cause but you really can see Low pressure regions develop as these things converge. This is what I mean when I use the term "convergance". I have no real idea what the more knowledgeable understand about it. This is what one source (RA-Aus) says about convergence, divergence and subsidence: Atmospheric vertical motion is found in cyclones and anticyclones, mainly caused by air mass convergence or divergence from horizontal motion. Meteorological convergence indicates retardation in air flow with increase in air mass in a given volume due to net three dimensional inflow. Meteorological divergence, or negative convergence, indicates acceleration with decrease in air mass. Convergence is the contraction and divergence is the spreading of a field of flow." http://www.auf.asn.au/meteorology/section1b.html I on the other hand am talking about an increase in the number of low pressure waves. As they arrive already in combinations that take the pressure to 990 to 980 millibars they already consist of a number of wavlets each worth about 2 or 3 millibars decrease in pressure. They converge off Iceland and Greenland as if waiting the full pressure capacity required to get them over the Mid Atlantic Ridge. This has to be some 970 or so minimum IIRC. When they hit land once more you can see them separating out into their constituent air masses. Blowing where they list. The article goes on to describe what happens without explaing why. It is difficult to see why an air mas floating free of any vessel has to build up or con~/di~ ~verge: "If, for example, the front end of moving air mass layer slows down, the air in the rear will catch up – converge" How? And more importantly; why? "The air must move vertically to avoid local compression. If the lower boundary of the moving air mass is at surface level all the vertical movement must be upward. If the moving air mass is just below the tropopause all the vertical movement will be downward because the tropopause inhibits vertical motion." How and why? "If the front end of a moving air mass layer speeds up then the flow diverges. If the air mass is at the surface then downward motion will occur above it to satisfy mass conservation principles, if the divergence is aloft then upward motion takes place. Rising air must diverge before it reaches the tropopause and sinking air must diverge before it reaches the surface. As the surface pressure is the weight per unit area of the overlaying column of air, and even though divergences in one part of the column are largely balanced by convergences in another, the slight change in mass content (thickness) of the over-riding air changes the pressure at the surface." See last post. Answer asked question. "no forecast accuracy: no use" |

Which points to another opening in the knowledge base if a massive quake occurs with the spell: Oops, I got distracted and forgot what just occurred to me. "I'll be back." The original post went on to explain: "Everyone quoted is however agreed on one thing: "the notion that [a future change in the themohaline circulation] may trigger a mini ice age is a myth”. The evidence of previous changes for instance at the Younger Dryas or during the 8.2 kyr event is quite strong, and significant coolings were observed particular around the North Atlantic, but even such localised coolings are not predicted to occur if the circulation slows as an effect of global warming." There are certain things happening on the planet that were in days of old put down to God acting to draw our attention to our waywardness. I presume this is based on the contract set up between Moses's people and the creator. Since it is in a way God acting as if from heaven (the sun and moon causing these runs) there may well be more to it than simple deforestation. Of course the priests of Egypt can come up with counter arguments and replications in their churches. For instance denuding natural forest in tropical countries opens the land to desertification. Deserts do not usually send vast quantities of freshwater to sea and this article points out a natural flow in a fairly arid modern USA can supply 500 cubic kilometres of the precious stuff to the Gulf of Mexico. Before the forests of North America were ruined by colonists in the 18th century the outflow must have been vast. So it remains to be seen how much of this act of god can be restored by human activity if anyone cared to start. Removing US influence in Arab and South American nations would be a big help. Maybe relocate the modern day nation of Israel. (Libya would make a nice change for them.) But I digress... What I was thinking was that the displacement of these chimneys according to the time of the phase of the moon, might find them occurring in less well known regions. Areas yet to be exhausted of fish by the fact that they don't live there in significant numbers, yet. Maybe God is giving the planet a breathing space to save it from ourselves. Meantime more of the same, I think, from the next spell: 15th June 2009 @ 22:15 Since this is classic volcano country the North Atlantic at least, will remain negative. Or not, as the case may be. There is a seed for a storm over at the Philippines. So a TC with some large Mag fives are on the cards. Maybe one or two sixes. I wonder if it is the increase of submarine volcanic activity that causes there slack surface pressures. They would certainly mess with the Global Conveyance. And with the convergence of low pressure from Newfoundland. |

Only applied below ground that causes them to build on one another: Convergence indicates redirection in seismic flow with increase in something something in a given scrambled eggs due to net three dimensional flow. It wants working on. Got it: The present set up has a seismic harmonic that will change for the next one. In the middle of the change, the acoustics hit a peak. And the series of waves also peaks in a time that indicates the motion of the trains. Consider the aftershock at Vanuatu. It was some hours after the first three. So the trains built up every so many hours. Of course by then some components had already diverged. Which explains how with such events the most powerful is considered to be the main shock and the others aftershocks, despite the fact that aftershocks sometimes (often) occur first. "Well they would wouldn't they?" 5.1 2009/06/12 14:33 17.4S. 167.6N. Vanuatu 6.0 2009/06/12 09:44 17.6S. 167.7N. Vanuatu 5.0 2009/06/12 09:25 17.5S. 167.7N. Vanuatu 5.0 2009/06/12 08:48 17.5S. 167.7N. Vanuatu Nearly 5 hours separate the last two quakes. Presuming these are all the same trains of sound waves, the largest peaks are 5 hours apart. That is roughly the time they take to cross the planet. So the physics is possible. Hell, the physics would explain the ring of fire. Ah well, another one for the archives. I wonder how many must die before anyone comes up with the above all on their own. |

However, there was no indication of when the earthquake should have occurred in, but we'll forgive you that this time. Now if you are going to forecast, be clear about it, or I'll have to begin to take your half-suggestions as forecasts and then your accuracy percentage will drop faster than an Italian Prime Minister's trousers. If there is no earthquake around the Isthmus of Panama, you'll be back down to 20% from 10 tomorrow. If you wish to claim "forecasts" you are also expected to return to all those you get wrong as well, remember. |

On Jun 12, 11:22*pm, Weatherlawyer wrote: The background noise is 5.5 M "whatevers" for negative North Pacific and Atlantic anomalies combined. As there is a certain lack of convergence. So here is another set of permutations: A state where both oceans are negative, giving the above results. (Tornadoes.) One where the Atlantic is negative and the Pacific is positive (I think this indicates a surge of Hawaiian volcanic activity.) Another where the Pacific is negative and the Atlantic is positive. And one where both oceans are positive. (Lots of convergence above and below ground.) For positive anomalies: According to the height and depth of the sea level pressures, the likelihood for runs of greater than 6 M. increases with the contrast of air pressure systems at sea level. 5.1 * *2009/06/12 14:33 * * *17.4S. * * * * *167.6N.. * * Vanuatu 6.0 * *2009/06/12 09:44 * * *17.6S. * * * * *167.7N.. * * Vanuatu 5.0 * *2009/06/12 09:25 * * *17.5S. * * * * *167.7N.. * * Vanuatu 5.0 * *2009/06/12 08:48 * * *17.5S. * * * * *167.7N.. * * Vanuatu So this 6.0M. was pushing it. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/...uakes_all.html When we have 4 medium sized quakes showing up consecutively at almost the same location. It has the same effect as a much larger quake. The weather changes with very large quakes. Contemporary models and such come "right" (possibly needing less correction. I wish I could say.) I haven't checked the Atlantic sea level charts but I have no doubt that there were a sequence of parallel occlusions accompanying one or two Lows predicted before the Vauatuans occurred. Yep! But only one pair of parallels as far s I know. And that with a 997 mb Low just west of the UK. I have no doubt* that this Low was some 80 degrees from Vanuatu when the series occurred. But I have not checked my facts. I'd bet too that in another part of the ocean or in the N Pacific some 80 degrees from said series there is the other pair on file. There is one for midnight on this site: http://www.wetterzentrale.de/topkarten/fsfaxsem.html Zeigen for the 13th June A pair indicates that the meteorological storms are ended. That is, there will be no more tornadoes; and three indicates that the storms extant are ended but that another is due to scale up. 4 of them is something quite rare. Pity this set was flawed. But talking about convergence. They were some 5 or 6 minutes apart: *14:33 09:44 09:25 *08:48 If they had all arrived on time it would have been a very large quake. Contemporary theory has it that magnitudes don't add up in the same way I'd put them and I don't intend to find out what they consider the increase would be. It was on line once as that is where I read it. Anyone except Dawlish wishing to follow it up can do so at their leisure. I imagine Dawlish would eat his teeth before finding out anything, even if he knew how. But I am being unkind to an unfortunate. I should be more generous. He provides so much entertainment. I hope he doesn't hang himself in his desponderence one day, when he could be trained with so little effort. Do they have trains at Exitdoor? I'm sure they do. Let's hope the driver knows him. I suddenly realised that these ocean basin oscillations are the next order of magnitude to the convergence thingie. However powerful a tropical storm may be. We usually have the same phenomena most weeks in the North Atlantic which is how I reckon the state of the oscillation. But Tropical Storms do more damage as the tides associated with them are similar in proportion to northern hemisphere tides. A 20 or 30 meter tide is a twice daily, 6 or 7 days a month phenomenon in British waters for example. However powerful a tropical storm may be, the storm is only a small part of the system. As an whole, the convective currents on or in the oceans are in themselves only a part of the thing. And in the series of spells still ongoing, the fact that all the oceans are negative is the next order of magnitude in events. But even then these things are mere covering, superficial. I'd always thought there was a step between the three body problem and any direct occurrences because of the sun and moon. Such is a given for ocean tides and the same is true for so called disastrous phenomenon. It is only logical that there is more to this next order of magnitude; the oscillating of its air pressure systems and the oscillation of the whole set of seas. (As an aside I wonder how the Arctic ice fits in. Maybe that too is down to a negative oscillation in the Arctic.) I wonder what other steps there are between the engineering miracle we live on and its reactions to the other planet in our orbit. |
