ULF, GEOMAGNETIC STORM, TIDE RELATED QUESTIONS

These questions are being posted to the www.earthwaves bulletin board. If people wish to respond to them in the Yahoo EarthWaves bulletin board then if I see their responses I will try to post links in www.earthwaves notes which point to them. Or, people at the Yahoo site could send me their responses by e-mail and state that I can post them to the www.earthwaves board. Please also let me know if your name etc. should be reported in those notes.

Question # 1. There was a statement in one EarthWaves post that geomagnetic storms can cause ULF signals (low frequency radio waves) to be generated. Can anyone expand on that? How does that process work? What radio wave frequency range is involved? What geographic areas are affected? Are there any good Web sites where that subject matter is discussed?

Question # 2. Solar event data are being reported at the following Web site:

http://sec.noaa.gov/ftpdir/indices/events/

Does anyone know where explanations can be found for the "type of solar event" abbreviations listed there such as RSP, RBR etc.?

Question # 3. The following equations are needed:

*** Say that the sun is directly over 5W and 15N and the moon is directly over 123E and 12N.

*** And the moon gravity strength is assigned a value of 2.5 times that of the sun gravity strength.

A. One (or two) equations are needed for adding those two locations together to produce the latitude and longitude of the position on the Earth's surface where their combined gravitational pulls would be strongest.

B. Another equation of that type is needed which states how strong their combined gravitational pulls would be at that location.

*** Those equations should use sin, cos, tan etc.

COMMENTS REGARDING THOSE QUESTIONS:

Question # 1. My present theories propose that many earthquake sensitive humans and animals are responding to information contained in naturally occurring low frequency radio waves, perhaps ULF signals. And those people and animals often have earthquake warning type experiences when strong geomagnetic storms are raging. There could be Solar Storm - Geomagnetic Storm - Earthquake Fault Zone Activity - ULF - Earthquake Sensitivity type interactions taking place here. And information regarding a possible Geomagnetic Storm - ULF signal link could be important to developing an understanding of those interactions.

Question # 2. It presently appears to me that "electron" related geomagnetic storm activities could be the most important ones for some types of earthquake sensitivity. And it is also being proposed that electron related geomagnetic storm activities may at times be involved with earthquake triggering. There must be an explanation key somewhere for the solar event listings at that Web page which can be used to tell if the solar event is electron or proton related etc.

Question # 3. My data are I feel clearly indicating to me that the following may be the single most important phenomenon responsible for earthquake triggering:

In highly simplified terms, there is a "pressure wave" (actually there are usually 4 of them, 90 longitude degrees apart) which moves from east to west following the positions of the sun and the moon in the sky as the Earth rotates on its North and South pole axis relative to the sun and to the moon. It is not actually a wave but rather a gradual twisting and bending of the Earth's crust which takes place as the Solid Earth Tide moves from east to west. However, unlike ocean tides and the Solid Earth Tide this "pressure wave" runs straight north and south. And also unlike them its longitude is fixed with regard to the longitude of the position on the Earth's surface where the combined gravitational pulls of the sun and the moon is strongest.

When that "pressure wave" twists or bends earthquake fault zones in just the right manner it can trigger earthquakes in ones which have stored enough strain energy that they are about ready to fracture on their own.

As the sun and the moon change positions relative to one another during the month that "pressure wave" determines when during the month an earthquake is most likely to be triggered. And if a day is divided into 4 equal (and relatively equivalent) parts then it also determines the "offset time" during one of those time periods when an earthquake is most likely to be triggered. For example, that offset time might be 1.5 hours after the beginning of any one of those 4 time periods. Those offset times can be different for fault zone systems at various locations. And there can be more than one offset time for a given system.

Those equations are needed for use with computer programs which generate data regarding the positions of the sun and the moon in the sky at different times. To get those data I myself am presently breaking the sun and moon positions into 3 dimensions, adding the values for each dimension together, and then recombining them. I believe that there is an easier way to do that.

The following Web site provides access to a sun and moon position program which people can download:

http://www.ummah.org.uk/ildl/mooncalc.html

To generate latitude and longitude data for the sun and moon positions I believe that you have to tell the program to use Option # 1, then use the "South Pole" for a reference, and then use dates and times which have a UTC (GMT) format.

Sun Dec: is then the sun latitude at that time.
Moon Dec: is the moon latitude.
Sun Azi: is the sun longitude value plus 180 degrees.
Moon Azi: is the moon longitude value plus 180 degrees.

I believe that I am correct with that. But people should check those values before using those data.
