Correlation Analysis for Total Electron Content Anomalies

Staff Writer, Nathaniel Diaz
Ionosphere / Electrons / Physics
____________________________________

1. Introduction
Ionosphere is a shell of a large amount of electrons and it is disturbed by various causes such as volcanic eruptions [Heki, 2006;Dautermann et al., 2009], solar flares [Donnelly, 1976], earthquakes [ Cahyadi and Heki, 2015], and so on. Analyzing Total Electron Content (TEC) data is one of the most popular method to monitor the ionosphere. TEC data contains the number of electrons integrated along the line of sight between the GNSS satellites and the observation stations on the ground. Japan has a dense GNSS observation network (the GNSS earth observation network, GEONET) to collect daily TEC.

The Autumn Factor

Staff Writer, Nathaniel Diaz
Weather / Autumn
___________________________________

With the shift toward winter, the weather fluctuates between hot and cool. Autumn is here and the cool evenings and mornings are a welcomed sight. The desert is getting a break from the hot temperatures of the blazing summer. 

What can we expect?

Solar flares have been quiet while the filament releases have energized our planetary weather system that have lasted these couple of weeks creating warmer temperatures like the 90's for this week. See Suspicious Observers for more information:


Our local forecast appears to be such: 
Forecast Discussion: The upper-level low pressure system that has brought active weather to central Arizona this week is finally beginning to move out of the area. This puts Arizona underneath a dry, northwesterly flow pattern. As drier air filters into the state, skies will be clear each day through Saturday. Temperatures will rebound, approaching 90°F by Saturday. Near-surface winds are also expected to be light and variable. The two main pollutants currently in the spotlight for this air quality forecast are ozone and PM-2.5. As more stagnant conditions take hold over the next few days, both of these pollutants have the potential to accumulate more near the ground. Clear skies also mean more sunlight for local ozone production and stronger nocturnal inversions for overnight PM-2.5 build-up. Since history shows us that Moderate ozone levels are uncommon in late October, ozone is expected to remain in the Good range. The outcome of PM-2.5 levels is a little more uncertain, however. We will keep PM-2.5 in the upper Good range for now and will reevaluate it tomorrow for the weekend. Check back on Friday for a closer look at the weekend's weather and air quality. Until then, have a good day! -M.Graves
For the rest of October, the Farmer's Almanac writes:

California, Nevada, Utah, ArizonaIncludes California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona
24th-27th. Clearing weather, turning colder.
28th-31st. Unsettled, showery.

Our local community forecast for today through Halloween is:

Pierre's Latest - Cosmic Microwave Background: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8ijb...
Ever since Penzias and Wilson discovered that the Earth was surrounded by microwave energy, astronomers have been quick to postulate that the apparent ~3K signal represented the signature of the Big Bang. Yet long ago, Gustav Kirchhoff insisted that the setting of temperatures, using the laws of thermal emission, required enclosure. Clearly, the Big Bang can never meet this requirement. In this presentation, it will be demonstrated that the microwave fields, which surround the earth and have excited distant molecules, can be generated by the hydrogen bond within water in the condensed state. A review of the COBE and WMAP will be presented, revealing that the microwave anisotropy maps have no scientific validity. The data lack both signal to noise and reproducibility. Furthermore, the PLANCK satellite findings will be discussed. These data provide unambiguous evidence that powerful microwave fields do not exist at L2. Penzias and Wilson measured water on Earth. The correct assignment of this signal is vital to better understanding our own planet.

Pierre-Marie Robitaille, PhD is a Professor of Radiology at The Ohio State University, with a joint appointment in Chemical Physics. He initially trained as a spectroscopist and has wide ranging knowledge of instrumentation in the radio and microwave bands. A recognized expert in image acquisition and analysis, Professor Robitaille was responsible for doubling the world record in Magnetic Resonance Imaging in 1998. In 2000, he turned his attention to thermodynamics and astrophysics, demonstrating that the universality advanced in Kirchhoff's Law of Thermal Emission is invalid. He has published extensively on the microwave background, highlighting that this signal arises from water on the Earth and has no relationship to cosmology and has recently published a paper on the Liquid Metallic Hydrogen Solar Model (LMHSM).
