Just thought I'd better throw this in fro future reference:
Tornado Watch Number 737 NWS Storm Prediction Center, Norman, OK. 1030 am cst sun nov 25 2007 Issued a tornado watch for portions of south central and south-east Louisiana coastal waters effective this Sunday morning and afternoon from 10:30 am until 5:00 pm CST. Tornadoes...hail to 0.5 inch in diameter...thunderstorm wind gusts to 70 mph...and dangerous lightning are possible in these areas. Approximately along and 50 miles north and south of a line from 40 miles west north-west of intra-coastal city Louisiana to 40 miles south east of [where there used to be a place called] New Orleans. A warm front will lift slowly nwd across srn LA through the afternoon in advance of a mid level low over TX...and a surface low developing newd toward sw LA. despite widespread clouds and limited surface heating...boundary layer dewpoints in the upper 60s will contribute to sbcape values of 500-1000 j/kg this afternoon along and s of the warm front. vertical shear will be maximized along the boundary...where super-cells and a tornado or two will be possible. otherwise...isolated damaging winds can be expected with the most intense storms. Aviation...tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 0.5 inch. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. a few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. mean storm motion vector 24025. ....Thompson Lots more snipped and any amount of it can be recovered in their archives. The site has just been updated. It was excellent before, now it is superb: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/ |

Evidently his research has failed to inform him anything of Nettiquette. He may even be genuine: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=who...ient=firefox-a I gather he or she is Slovakian. I don't know what to make of that. I posted something about Thomas Gold on sci.geo.earthquakes some time back and drew a lot of fire from people more knowledgeable than I about how Prof Gold had stolen his ideas from the Ruskis. Not one of his detractors realised they were crediting the basic science involved. Russian science is pretty good. In fact in all of the communist states, schooling was very good. I wonder what went wrong. |

Words in his site such as propaganda probably are not what he meant. "A METHOD OF AND A DEVICE FOR THE REDUCTION OF TROPICAL CYCLONES DESTRUCTIVE FORCE. Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for suppressing the destructive force of a tropical cyclone, wherein the ascendent speed of wind in the eyewall of a cyclone is reduced by sea water pumped on- site from under the sea surface to above the surface, and then dispersed in the wind at the bottom of the cyclone in/near its eyewall. Antihurricane Technology Fund (AHTF ahtfund org) www.ahtfund.org Fund support development, testing and propaganda of technologies that are capable of avoiding spontaneous catastrophes or decrese them in size, fundraising. D: anti-hurricane fund, anti-cyclone fund, anti-typhoon fund, hurricane fund, cyclone fund, typhoon fund, Katrina fund, fundraising, fund raising, hurricane, fund Hurricane active technology prevention Energy from hurricane versus hurricane " What happens in a cyclone is that it draws water from the sea and feeds it up to where it falls out of solution. (on the way up it turns from water to vapour to diffused gas.) Because water laden air is so light, water as a gas is lighter than air, it reaches heights where the mixture can be defracted the way petrol is refined from crude. Once the ice has melted and refrozen a few times it becomes more and more pure and eventually turns into to the sort of water that doesn't freeze at freezing point -which at different heights is at different pressures and thus not the same for sea level and this is getting quite complex isn't it. Basically the gaseous water falls out of solution, falls through the storm (which is moving across the ocean as well as rotating) and eventually lands back in the sea behind the storm. The sea is some 5 degrees cooler after the passing of a tropical cyclone. In the North Atlantic temperature differences before and after are about 3 degrees. And before the storm there is a thick cloud layer that would ordinarily close out the heat from the sea surface. This is all the more noticeable the further north a cyclone goes. (Maybe that explains the 2 degree difference between Tropical storms and Maritime ones?) What I am trying to say is that hurricanes provide their own anti- hurricane process. They consume/process about half a kiloton of nuclear fission energy per minute or some such. That would take a fair few ship's pumps to compete. And after the storm? The sky is now filled with water, the upper atmosphere is no longer "inverted" (foggy.) The little fluffy clouds patching the sky from horizon to horizon, are all reflecting and refracting sunlight. And thus it always seems brighter after the storm. I don't begrudge him his ideas but there is more than enough "kooky" on this thread without his input. He should stick to his own threads. OTOH, I'd rather listen to a thousand daft ideas from ardent enthusiasts than one "it can't be done" from the lack-lustres and nay- sayers. Pity its always a thousand lack lusters and another thousand nay sayers for every enthusiast. |

Now there are three. None of them especially powerful but obviously they are in concert, able to change the spell from cold, clear and frosty to warm, thick gloom Oh man, I screwed that up. This afternoon about 3-ish I saw a massive cloud that reminded me that this spell is supposed to produce long billows of piscene black clouds. This spell is what it would be if super-typhoons and their ilk were not present. They aren't:http://www.hurricanezone.net/ Several earthquakes are due, especially in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean border:http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/FM/http://...quakes_big.php Let me just say that I never said that the very large magnitude quakes that occur at the end of a simialr sequence of weather spells or that occur near the end of a simialr sequence of lunar spells, will be in the South Pacific in the region I am associating with this present run of largish earthquakes. This 7.4 for example (and the Chilean one before it) were not due to the demise of any one particular tropical storm but to the end of the system of them. 7.4 Mag. 2007/11/29 19:00. 14.95 degrees North 61.24 degrees West. Martinique region, Windward Islands. The storms all lost most of their power some days ago. So it takes from 1 to 3 days or more to show up in a large quake like this? Who can say? Who can say no? But it may just be a coincidence. And there are an awful lot of them. Another word for remarkable coincidences are miracles. Only miracles of course, have traditionally been linked with forecasts well in advance. Sort of. |
