John, as I said in another one of my notes, the problem here appears to be one of chart resolution. Terminology is also involved to some extent.

One might think from looking at that “Earth acceleration” wave that its crests and troughs should be responsible for the crests and troughs in the “Changes in Earth acceleration” wave. But that is not the case. Because of the way the calculations are being done and because of the long wavelengths, the structure in the Earth acceleration wave which is responsible for the Changes in Earth acceleration wave structure cannot be seen. The Earth acceleration crests and troughs that you are seeing are being averaged away when the other wave values are calculated.

Something else you cannot easily see in that chart is the fact that the crests and troughs in those two waves do not always occur at the same times. My computer program data which have better resolution show that they are constantly drifting back and forth a little relative to one another.

At the moment there is nothing that I can do about those resolution problems. I also cannot invent a new language to better describe exactly what those waves represent.

Next, I recommend that you adjust your focus so that you are looking a little more at the actual goals here. As you yourself have stated in past notes, researchers appear to have been generally unable to find any links between tides etc. and earthquake occurrence times. And what I have been saying is that one of the main reasons that this is the case is the fact that they have been looking at the wrong types of data all these years. The waves in my charts are intended to show them what types of data they should be examining. And if you look at those very powerful earthquakes discussed in that 2001.html report you can see that they are good matches for some of those waves. Exactly what the waves are called is not especially important right now. Terminology issues can be addressed at some later point in time.

There are still numerous, basic issues to be resolved here. For example, I am not certain about this, but from what I have heard I believe that those researchers in the Republic of Georgia for example do not feel that MICA program data can be used to do this type of research. They are instead using Solid Earth Tide data generation programs. And my charts are intended in part to demonstrate to them and other researchers around the world that MICA program data do in fact work for this type of application.
