Has anyone seen about any radio communication issues or other strange stuff with the solar storm?

yes.. China had problems from the flare.. I posted it this morning in the previous blog

be interesting to see next set at 00z

Quoting twincomanche:


The short answer is no. Other than the obvious that if we get a bunch of monsoonal rain, hurricanes or other than we start out with more moisture in the soil. This dry weather is pretty typical. The hurricane season this year was dryer than normal.

thanks!

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Jim Sutterfield was briefly puzzled by a thumping sound that seemed to slam the back of his office chair. But when the small-town Arkansas fire chief turned and saw no one was around, he quickly realized it was just an earthquake — again.

"That was only my second time to feel one, but others here have felt them for three or four months now," Greenbrier chief Jim Sutterfield said after feeling the latest tremor on Wednesday. "Now when it happens, people say, 'Well, there's another one.'"

Several small earthquakes ranging in magnitude from 1.8 to 3.8 have rattled the north-central Arkansas cities of Greenbrier and Guy this week, and the cause is unknown.

The U.S. Geological Survey has reported more than 30 earthquakes in the area since Sunday, including a magnitude 3.8 quake Thursday morning and at least 16 others occurring Wednesday, two of which were magnitude 3.2 and 3.5. More than 700 quakes have occurred in the region over the past six months.

Ozone Layer’s Future Linked Strongly to Changes in Climate, Study Finds

Link


ScienceDaily (Feb. 17, 2011) — The ozone layer -- the thin atmospheric band high-up in the stratosphere that protects living things on Earth from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, not to be confused with damaging ozone pollution close to the ground -- faces potential new challenges even as it continues its recovery from earlier damage, according to a recently released international science assessment. The report, prepared by the Scientific Assessment Panel of the U.N. Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, also presents stronger evidence that links changes in stratospheric ozone and Earth's climate.

The report finds that over the past decade, global ozone levels, and ozone levels in the Arctic and Antarctic regions are at a turnaround point -- no longer decreasing but not yet increasing. The abundances of ozone-depleting substances in the atmosphere are responding as expected to the controls of the Montreal Protocol, with many now declining in both the lower and upper atmosphere.

By successfully controlling the emissions of ozone-depleting substances, the Montreal Protocol also has been beneficial for the climate, because many of these substances are heat trapping, or greenhouse, gases that are linked to Earth's warming.

"The Montreal Protocol has succeeded in protecting the ozone layer from much higher levels of depletion," said A.R. Ravishankara, director of NOAA's Chemical Sciences Division and co-chair of the Scientific Assessment Panel that produced the report. "But the ozone layer will increasingly be influenced by other factors related to the changing climate."

For example, climate change alters the atmosphere's temperature and circulation patterns, which in turn affect the processes that deplete the ozone layer. One projected outcome of this relationship is that ozone in the Arctic, where the most severe changes in climate are being observed, is projected to be more sensitive to climate changes than ozone in the Antarctic, where climate change is relatively less of an influence on the ozone layer.

Effects also work in reverse. Changes in the ozone layer have been linked to observed shifts in seasonal surface winds over the Southern Hemisphere, contributing to the Antarctic Peninsula warming and the high plateau cooling.

Scientists build first "antilaser"

By Julie Steenhuysen
Posted 2011/02/17 at 3:13 pm EST

CHICAGO, Feb. 17, 2011 (Reuters) — The laser -- a 50-year-old invention now used in everything from CDs to laser pointers -- has met its match in the "antilaser," the first device capable of trapping and canceling out laser beams.
While such a device would seem most fitting in a science fiction movie, its real-world application will likely be in next-generation, optical computers, which will be powered by light in addition to electrons, U.S. researchers said on Thursday.
"It's a device which basically works like running a laser backwards," A. Douglas Stone of Yale University, who published his findings in the journal Science, said in a telephone interview.
While a laser takes in electrical energy and emits light in a very narrow frequency range, Stone said, his antilaser takes in laser light and transforms it into heat energy.
But it could be easily converted into electrical energy, he said.
Conventional lasers, which were invented in 1960, use a so-called "gain medium," such as a semiconductor material, to produce a focused beam of light waves.
Stone's device uses silicon as an absorbent "loss-medium" that traps light waves, which bounce around until they are converted into heat.
And while the technology seems cool, his antilaser would never be used as a potential laser shield.
"This is something that absorbs lasers. If a ray gun was intended to kill you, it's going to kill you," Stone said.
He said the most obvious use of his device is in computing. "The next generation of high performance computers are going to have hybrid chips," Stone said.
Instead of having chips with transistors and silicon, these new computers will use both light and electrical energy.
Stone said the device could be used as a sort of optical switch that can be turned on and off at will.
Ultimately, he said, the technology could find its way in radiology.

IMPACT! A CME hit Earth's magnetic field at approximately 0100 UT on Feb. 18th (8:00 pm EST on Feb. 17th). The impact was not as strong as expected considering the cloud's probable X-class origin. Nevertheless, geomagnetic storms are possible in the hours ahead. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras.



Not sure why it is when a forecast doesn't pan out that some feel the need to refer to it as overhyped junk science; if nothing else, I suppose that serves to highlight the real disconnect that exists between casual blog visitors and actual scientists. The thing is, those scientists are honorable people. And just like carpenters, surgeons, and electricians, they have a craft, and they practice it every day. They study the physical world and produce reports that explain one more piece of the great mystery, and forecasts based on those pieces as they see them. Few people bother to read those reports, and thus stumble around blindly in the dark, confused about what is happening and completely unprepared for what is coming, and all too eager to degrade those scientists. But why do that? If your doctor says he fears you have a tumor but it turns out to be just a benign cyst, you don't accuse him of "overhyped junk science", do you?

Quoting weatherboy1992:
Most cities on the east coast have never had a month where temperatures have an 100 degree extreme range. Many cities on the west coast don't have a 100 degree range between their all time record highs and lows.

In Boston, the greatest monthly range is in December (-17~76 -- 93 degrees). Interestingly enough the range on December 30 is 90 degrees (-17~73), which is also (by quite a lot) the greatest daily range -- not in the same year!

The greatest short-term temperature changes are usually with strong back door/side door cold fronts in April and early May. In 2003 we had one day with a high of 84 (a record) and the next day the high was 40 (one degree shy of the record low max). The high was at midnight; the high during the day was about 35, and there were stations with >50 degree 24 hour temperature drops.

I notice Bartlesville eventually hit 82 today, so it wound up being 110 degrees in 6 days.

Geomagnetic Storm Watch Still in Effect
02/17/2011 by Kevin VE3EN at 21:40
Comment on Message Board

Geomagnetic Storm Watch - As of 21:45 UTC Thursday, there has still not been any shock detected from any one of atleast 3 incoming Coronal Mass Ejections. The following statement below is from the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center.

February 17, 2011 -- The first interplanetary shock, driven by the CME from Sunday, is expected any time. Soon thereafter, the shock from Monday evening's R3/CME is due. Look for G1-G2 (and maybe periods of G3 if the following shock compresses and enhances the CME magnetic field). Geomagnetic storming should persist 24- 48 hours.

Another source is stating that the incoming CME activity could have missed us altogether. Time will tell.

Solar Update - The solar X-Rays have been fairly quiet early on Thursday with only minor C-Class activity. Sunspot 1158 and 1161 both remain large sunspots and there is still a chance for M-Class flares

GOES Flare class: X2.2
Flare peak time: 01:45 UT 15-Feb-2011

The first X flare of the new solar cycle and the first X flare that SDO has observed.
This was a beautiful flare and dramatic eruption with an associated coronal wave that affects the whole Sun. Nice coronal loop oscillation (ringing) is clearly visible.

Deconstructing the Global Warming Fraud

By Alan Caruba

I have been reviewing books for fifty years and have long since lost count of how many books were written to propagate the global warming fraud, nor how many have been written to deconstruct it. That%u2019s how the war of ideas is fought these days, along with documentaries, blogs and websites, conferences, and all the other ways lies are defeated by the truth.

From the earliest days the global warming %u201Ctheory%u201D was proposed I knew that it was a complete hoax. It never made any sense to me that an element of the earth%u2019s atmosphere, carbon dioxide that measured an infinitesimal 0.0389%, could have an effect on the planet%u2019s climate. Just one of the so-called %u201Cgreenhouse gases%u201D, water vapor%u2014clouds%u2014is 51 times greater than CO2.

Moreover, not one single computer model can factor in the effect clouds have on the planet%u2019s weather because not one single meteorologist, living or dead, has a clue why they do what they do. They appear and disappear in the very definition of chaos. So it struck me as odd that all the computer models of the advocates of global warming always came to the same conclusion; it%u2019s coming and the earth's temperature will rise dramatically IF%u2026

IF is the key word that global warming advocates, now called %u201Cwarmists%u201D, kept saying. If you don%u2019t stop using coal and oil for energy, we%u2019re doomed. If you don%u2019t reduce your personal %u201Ccarbon footprint%u201D, we%u2019re doomed. If we don%u2019t immediately start using ethanol, wind and solar power, we%u2019re doomed.

Beyond IF came an endless avalanche of claims that global warming was altering or affecting every single natural phenomenon in the world. The claim was that glaciers were melting. Polar bear populations were disappearing. Hurricanes were increasing. The seas were rising. Eventually, just about everything happening anywhere was blamed on global warming.

Follywood and the mass media signed onto this absurdity, ignoring the science involved and the most obvious fact that an entirely natural cooling cycle began in 1998 and continues to this day. The worst of it, however, was a combination of the way the government and the nation%u2019s educational system became parties to this massive fraud. And still are!

The EPA claim that it has the authority to regulate CO2 is a pure lie and it is based on the global warming lie.

Ultimately, however, not one "warmest" ever once pointed to the single greatest factor in the earth%u2019s climate, the sun.

All this brings me to a new book, %u201CSlaying the Sky Dragon: Death of the Greenhouse Gas Theory%u201D, by eight co-authors, contributors whose expertise ranges across climatology, meteorology, physics, and mathematics, along with an expert in the legal aspects of the hoax. All have been derided as %u201Cdeniers%u201D and %u201Cskeptics.%u201D

I know several of them as Internet friends, I count Hans Schreuder, Joseph A. Olsen, and John O%u2019Sullivan among the many people who have helped me, over the years, to understand the complexities of climate science.

This book is not light reading. Indeed, if you don%u2019t come equipped with an understanding of physics, for example, some chapters will remain beyond your grasp. And mine! Happily, most is easily comprehended. In sum, it is a damning condemnation of the great hoax of the modern era, perhaps the greatest hoax since the bogus economic theory of communism.

Real science is not arrived at by %u201Cconsensus.%u201D Real scientists actually seek to disprove the findings of other scientists until they cannot be disproved, affirming them finally as accurate.

Real science can be corrupted in the same way as other aspects of society can be. For me, the real crime of global warming is the way governmental agencies, beginning with the United Nations%u2019 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, deliberately falsified data, mostly based on computer models, to underwrite the global warming fraud. That is also what NOAA, NASA, and the EPA, have done, to name just three.

Now add in billions of dollars lavished on %u201Cclimate research%u201D conducted on university campuses from coast to coast. There were exceptions. Some university-based scientists disputed the bogus research and some were threatened with the loss of their jobs. The other crime involves the corruption of formerly respected science journals and general science-related media such as National Geographic.

I have used the words %u201Choax%u201D and %u201Cfraud%u201D interchangeably, but the latter refers to the way global warming was never about the climate and all about a handful of people becoming quite wealthy by setting up exchanges to buy and sell bogus %u201Ccarbon credits%u201D mandated by governments in order to emit CO2 in the normal process of manufacturing production and other applications.

Others have cashed in building solar and wind farms, or became producers of ethanol. None of these ventures would survive without government mandates requiring their use.

The Cap-and-Trade Act is one such fraud and is currently in the U.S. Senate%u2019s political dead zone, hopefully to never be enacted. It is the global warming equivalent of Obamacare; the death of thousands of jobs and the economy.

I recommend you read %u201CSlaying the Sky Dragon%u201D as the definitive answer to more than twenty years of global warming lies.

Global Climate Change Indicators

Many lines of scientific evidence show the Earth's climate is changing. This page presents the latest information from several independent measures of observed climate change that illustrate an overwhelmingly compelling story of a planet that is undergoing global warming. It is worth noting that increasing global temperature is only one element of observed global climate change. Precipitation patterns are also changing; storms and other extremes are changing as well.


How do we know the Earth's climate is warming?

Thousands of land and ocean temperature measurements are recorded each day around the globe.

This includes measurements from climate reference stations, weather stations, ships, buoys and autonomous gliders in the oceans. These surface measurements are also supplemented with satellite measurements.

These measurements are processed, examined for random and systematic errors, and then finally combined to produce a time series of global average temperature change. A number of agencies around the world have produced datasets of global-scale changes in surface temperature using different techniques to process the data and remove measurement errors that could lead to false interpretations of temperature trends. The warming trend that is apparent in all of the independent methods of calculating global temperature change is also confirmed by other independent observations, such as the melting of mountain glaciers on every continent, reductions in the extent of snow cover, earlier blooming of plants in spring, a shorter ice season on lakes and rivers, ocean heat content, reduced arctic sea ice, and rising sea levels.

Climate Model Indications and the Observed Climate

Global climate models clearly show the effect of human-induced changes on global temperatures. The blue band shows how global temperatures would have changed due to natural forces only (without human influence). The pink band shows model projections of the effects of human and natural forces combined. The black line shows actual observed global average temperatures. The close match between the black line and the pink band indicates that observed warming over the last half-century cannot be explained by natural factors alone, and is instead caused primarily by human factors.




Simulated global temperature in experiments that include human influences (pink line), and model experiments that included only natural factors (blue line). The black line is observed temperature change.

Study: Ozone Layer’s Future Linked Strongly to Changes in Climate

February 16, 2011

The ozone layer — the thin atmospheric band high-up in the stratosphere that protects living things on Earth from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays, not to be confused with damaging ozone pollution close to the ground — faces potential new challenges even as it continues its recovery from earlier damage, according to a recently released international science assessment. The report, prepared by the Scientific Assessment Panel of the U.N. Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, also presents stronger evidence that links changes in stratospheric ozone and the Earth’s climate.

The report finds that over the past decade, global ozone levels, and ozone levels in the Arctic and Antarctic regions are at a turnaround point — no longer decreasing but not yet increasing. The abundances of ozone-depleting substances in the atmosphere are responding as expected to the controls of the Montreal Protocol, with many now declining in both the lower and upper atmosphere.

By successfully controlling the emissions of ozone-depleting substances, the Montreal Protocol also has been beneficial for the climate, because many of these substances are heat trapping, or greenhouse, gases that are linked to the Earth’s warming.

“The Montreal Protocol has succeeded in protecting the ozone layer from much higher levels of depletion,” said A.R. Ravishankara, director of NOAA’s Chemical Sciences Division and co-chair of the Scientific Assessment Panel that produced the report. “But the ozone layer will increasingly be influenced by other factors related to the changing climate.”

For example, climate change alters the atmosphere’s temperature and circulation patterns, which in turn affect the processes that deplete the ozone layer. One projected outcome of this relationship is that ozone in the Arctic, where the most severe changes in climate are being observed, is projected to be more sensitive to climate changes than ozone in the Antarctic, where climate change is relatively less of an influence on the ozone layer.

Effects also work in reverse. Changes in the ozone layer have been linked to observed shifts in seasonal surface winds over the Southern Hemisphere, contributing to the Antarctic Peninsula warming and the high plateau cooling.

This animation uses data from NOAA’s satellites to show the annual changes in the size of the Antarctic ozone hole, along with daily fluctuations in global ozone concentration. As pointed out in the report, the size of the Antarctic ozone hole appears to have reached a turnaround point, whereby the hole is not getting worse each year, but at the same time it is not decreasing.

Full size animation (Credit: NOAA)

The Antarctic ozone hole was discovered in 1985. Soon after, scientists established that the recurring springtime ozone hole was caused by human-made substances such as chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, used in refrigeration and halons used in fire extinguishers. The findings became a “science success story” as governments recognized the need for measures to reduce the production and consumption of a number of CFCs, halons and other ozone-depleting substances.

The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer was adopted in 1987 and came into force in 1989. It was designed so that the schedules for phasing out ozone-depleting substances could be revised based on periodic scientific and technological assessments, be amended or adjusted to introduce other kinds of control measures, and to add new controlled substances to the list. The 2010 scientific assessment just released provides information needed by the Protocol’s decision-makers during the coming few years as they consider possible further actions to protect the ozone layer.

A return to pre-1980 levels of ozone is expected around mid-century in mid-latitude regions and the Arctic, with recovery in the Antarctic expected to follow later this century, according to the assessment.

The ozone layer’s continued protection depends on future adherence to the provisions of the Montreal Protocol, as well as potential new influences, such as possible unintended consequences of proposals to deliberately add compounds to the atmosphere to counteract warming due to heat-trapping gases.

“The Montreal Protocol is doing what it was designed to do and we are seeing less of the ozone-depleting substances covered by the agreement,” said Ravishankara. “This has protected the ozone layer. But the atmosphere and climate are changing, so the ozone layer will not exactly retrace its steps.”

NOAA scientists and colleagues contributed findings that were critical to the assessment report. Namely, they led studies that determined the cause of the Antarctic ozone hole and elucidated the processes involved in ozone depletion in other regions of the globe. Teams have also tracked the state of the ozone layer and the abundances of ozone-depleting substances in the atmosphere, and modeled the past and projected future state of the ozone layer.

The 2010 assessment was conducted under the auspices of the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Meteorological Organization. It involved more than 300 international scientists as authors and reviewers.
