I've a feeling there will be a few tornadoes n this spell.

Lots of 975's and a smattering of promised juxtaposition.

It's 2 am now and not a lot has happened since this one:
4.9 M. 2010/04/14. 12:37. -18.7. 167.3 Vanuatu.
The salient point being the time is getting close to allowing a
tropical storm to build or maybe a significant quake. A high 5 low 6
Magnitude at the moment.

Allowing for the latency of the system, it has been 12 hours since a
decent quake was posted. Of course, if it is a storm it does not
necessarily have to occur on the tropics. And it might well be a
tornado. Or a Low slipping into a front that might go underground in a
day or more.

About 15 hours lapse signifies a severe storm of hurricane values.
Another 3 hours is equivalent to one more setting in the Saffir
Simpson scale.

But of course you all knew that didn't you children?

I was pondering how to gauge the power of volcanic output vis a vis
its effect on the weather. There is no real basic datum as the whole
concept of vulcanology is fraught with unknowns.

However we know that when the random list of earthquakes over 4 mag
(or was it 5?) has gaps in it of quite a few hours, something else is
going on in or on the planet.

This usually turns out to be a storm a tropical cyclone or a series of
strong tornadoes. I suppose the obverse is true too in extremes, where
the weather is concerned droughts are just as energy intensive.

Meteorology has stipulated that the earth has an heat budget and
suggests that the weather alone fills that bill. But of course the
errors in Newtonian mechanics is corrected for them by Eindynamism.

If the rest of the budget, inclusive of "t" in the space time
continuum algorithms turns out to be what I have been banging on about
for the last one or two decades, then part of the heat budget can be
found by taking into account the value of the moon in geo-phenomena.

Which brings us to the disappearing earthquakes phenomena. Where are
the tropical storms to make up for that? Where are the tornadoes?

Could it be that the volcanic activity earth-wide has sumped some of
it off?

The boost the Icelandic volcano went through has eased off today and
the number of quakes over 4 has increased or closed up.

Both the North Pacific and the North Atlantic have flaccid sea level
pressures. Maybe that is true of the rest of the planet?

Fly in the ointment #1: Volcanoes erupt all the time. But maybe the
regulars are a part of the background for the rest of my datum
settings?

The rest of the story is a simple matter of algebra.

With the likely exception of this quake:
4.0 2010/04/16 15:44:29
which was among the shed load of Baja stuff, the gap between this
Papuan:
4.7 2010/04/16 12:29:02 and this Chilean:
5.0 2010/04/16 22:38:26 saw the greatest activity in Iceland.
