EL NINO - LA NINA

No ENSO is underway and none is likley during 2003

Conditions off the coast of Peru are rapidly normalizing. As of this week, there will not be much moderating effect for the August “barbecue”.

The next El Nino is likely to appear in 2005 or 2006, but an appearance as early as 2004 is possible. Or, La Nina may make an appearance with a follow-on El Nino over 2005/2006

SUNSPOTS

NEWBIES: for a discussion of what has been learned with the planetary alignments producing high sunspot counts and solar storms and these in turn creating major storm activity in the Earth’s atmosphere, tune into this Sunspot Section in the last Earth Changes Bulletin Update:

POLAR MOTION

As of July 2, 2003, the spiral wobble track is crossing outside the last track in made during last year, which it should be doing since this is the year of its “MAX” spiral track size. It “appears” to be showing the clear progression of the drift of the average location of the spin axis pole down about Longitude West 45 degrees, which is roughly in correspondence with the same general direction of its drift since 1916. (The general direction meanders between Longitudes West 45 and West 90).

AS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED: Steady as she goes even if a bit eccentric. Motion seems to be smooth. not jerky, not erratic. Polar motion is similar as it has been but it continues to be substantially outside the proper "groove". This is probably a strong signal of major displacement in the average location of the spin axis during the past several years. The nodding in the wobble (see last week’s update) is not developing very strongly. The spiral track is now apparently closing and it may not cross the second spiral track in as many months. We shall see.

AS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED: Despite many alarm bells being passed by psychics, there is not even a hint at the moment in the actual motion of the pole to suggest that there is going to be a sudden shifting in the poles next month (May) or some time later in this year.

FOR NEWBIES: for the basic forecast, logic, and precursor signals of the next avalanche of the crust (pole shift), should check out here.

For additional current details: see here

FOR NEWBIES: The vortex tectonics paradigm of the earth holds that polar motion in the 6.5 year wobble cycle (Chandler’s) creates the major stress in the Earth’s crust which is released by lunar tidal forces each month in the form of earthquakes and volcanism. The acceleration in the motion of the drift of the poles and its relocation forces an increasing tempo in the shape shifting of the Equatorial zone, where 70% of tectonic activity occurs. Accordingly, earthquakes and volcanic activity should increase in frequency and magnitude.

ANCIENT DRAMA IN THE SKY: This time of year is a great time to catch the ancient spectacle of the Milky Way Galaxy (ours) in the middle of the vault of the skies. Best viewing time is close to midnight, when the Milky Way stretches out from horizon to horizon from nearly South to nearly North. This spectacle the Egyptians memorialized as Nun, the waters of the universe, whom they painted as a nearly naked woman stretched out across the ceilings of their temples. They conceived Nun as the mother of the planetary Gods, which was a lot closer to the truth than the cosmology the Greeks and the Romans tried to sell you. This will be a little hard to see while the Moon goes Full this next several days, but when the Moon’s light disappears, it will become quite vivid.

As you look at the sky to the South, you also can see an ancient nursery rhyme story. You can see a large cow jumping over the Milky Way, with the Milky Way flowing out North and South in a huge streak from out of the cow’s teats. That, from 5000 years ago, is how we got the name for our Galaxy. And that is also how we got the story of the Cow, Hathor, who jumps over the Moon occasionally (when it is in the right spot).

FINDING MARS: After finding the Milky Way and the Cow (Hathor), look towards the East and find the reddest, brightest object in the sky. It is already bright enough it could be easily mistaken for a jetliner or an UFO. It is now approaching the Eastern shore of the Milky Way (which the Egyptians thought of as the heavenly counterpart of the Nile), or the midsection of Nun, depending upon how you want to think about it. It is such a distinctive event, though Mars is rarely quite so bright, I’ll bet the Egyptians had a myth to describe this celestial event, which would have happened often enough for this long-lived civilization of astronomers to have seen it many times.

As time progresses into August, Mars will be seen to rise earlier and earlier in the evening. On August 27, it will rise bright as a jetliner just as the Sun sets in the West. Unfortunately, I expect a lot of chaos in the atmosphere from large ionic influxes from the Sun, lots of storms and clouds, so I fear a great many of us will not be able to see the spectacle.

Mars: It rises now at just about midnight. It is red, bright, and very easy to spot in the Lunar zodiac belt. It will get redder and brighter as the Summer progresses. It will progressively rise earlier and earlier in the evening until it rises, at Earth Alignment at the end of August, just at Sunset.

NASA ON MARS: “Mars is now so close to Earth that amateur astronomers can see the planet's polar ice cap through backyard telescopes. Read the full story from Science@NASA. Also, don't miss the June 19th close encounter between Mars and the moon. Wake up at 4 a.m. Thursday morning and look for the moon. Red Mars will be pleasingly nearby. Sky maps: northern hemisphere; southern hemisphere.”

On August 27, Mars will be closer than it has been in some 60,000 years (the figure has recently been corrected by orbital calculations), so say some astronomy sources. This is one of the reasons why the Europeans and the Americans popped off missions to Mars this month. The space craft will get there a whole lot faster than otherwise.

ALIGNMENT STUDIES
Go to this site for a technical description of planetary alignments
http://www.sunspot.noao.edu/PR/alignment.html
This paper is quite technical and it shows in graph forms a way to treat the relationships between the planets (such as distance) as waveforms. This approach could be used as a basis of establishing correlations with sunspot peaks.

MAGNETIC FIELD

See
http://www.geolab.nrcan.gc.ca/geomag/northpole_e.shtml
(watch the word wrap)

Krsanna (timestar.com): According to the Canadian government's numbers, magnetic north is now moving approximately 40 kilometers, about 25 miles, per year. This is an
increase from an average of 6 kilometers, or 3.7 miles, per year prior to the 1990's. The large increase in speed occurred after 1994. The North Magnetic Pole is slowly drifting across the Canadian Arctic. The Geological Survey of Canada keeps track of this motion by periodically carrying out magnetic surveys to redetermine the Pole's location. The most recent survey, completed in May, 2001, determined an updated position for the Pole and established that it is moving approximately northwest at 40 km per year. The observed position for 2001and estimated positions for 2002 to 2005 are given in the table.

Year Latitude ( °N) Longitude ( °W)
2001 81.3 110.8
2002 81.6 111.6
2003 82.0 112.4
2004 82.3 113.4
2005 82.7 114.4

OBSERVATION: The rate of change in the shifting of the magnetic poles has doubled since I wrote “The Prophecies” in 1999, when it was calculated that the rate of shift in the magnetic poles was about double what it had been during the first half of the 20th century. There may be a geometric increase in the magnetic shift, but on the other hand, this may be a temporary bubble caused by the stronger magnetic influences of the Sun during this Solar Cycle 23 peak.

WEATHER CONDITIONS (FOR DROUGHT AND FLOOD)

In general the DROUGHT pattern has returned worldwide in the usual regions, though scattered relief has come into some areas.  In the Pacific Southwest Another huge round of forest fires has begun and the forest die-off is becoming a much larger eco-catastrophe than previously reported. Conditions in Arizona forests are terrible and it is becoming doubtful whether we will retain even 50 percent of the forest ranges. Even Junipers in some ranges are dying. The impact on this region cannot be described. The only reason it is not international news is because this area is so thinly populated.
