Looks like I was wrong about the black discs on the Antarctic site.
They are just tropical storms after all.
Odd.
We'll see as the present approach develops. Whichever it will be, will
be the phenomena they are.

There is a black disc aproaching the continent from the eat of Africa
and it elongates badly out at sea.

Later in the same region an huge dartboard appears at 60 to 80 degrees
east:

> http://www.bom.gov.au/australia/charts/viewer/index.shtml?type=mslp-precip&tz=UTC&area=SH&model=G&chartSubmit=Refresh+View

Lots of storms this spell according to the North Atlantic Charts.

Bearing in mind that a spark plug gap for earth's energy budget
flashes between the southern tip of Greenland and the coast of Norway
whenever the Atlantic lights up like it did with Sandy.

Large dartboards mean large earthquakes. But now I am stymied with the
black discs of precipitation shown on these runs.
Lots more parallel stuff too unless that's just leftovers from that
Canadian stuff.

Look out for give-away signs on this chart:

Well that's all for now.

There seems to be a pretty stable anticyclone in the west of the North
Atlantic whilst all that cyclonic stuff builds up over Britain.

I got so wrapped up in this I never even realised the dartboard on the
Canadian GFS ensemble was Sandy.

You can still see it here for a few weeks:

> http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/ensemble/naefs/cartes_e.html

Just click to see sea level pressure charts and scroll back on both
tabs to get the appropriate dates. I was looking to see the Charlotte
Effect.

There was a line up of three Lows of sorts beginning at say the 26th
(issue date) and 27th (forecast date.)

The central Low (already out of line laterally) moves further north
with the arrival of the hurricane then Kaboom!... All change on the
28th (Forecast for the 29th.)

Just Sandy left and a colourful bitch she is too 956 was it? Until the
30th.

Nothing much here since these:

2012/10/30 02:55
5.0 M. 52.5 N. 131.5 W. QUEEN CHARLOTTE ISLANDS REGION

2012/10/30 02:49
6.2 M. 52.3 N. 131.9 W. QUEEN CHARLOTTE ISLANDS REGION

(In fact there is a lot of due, due according to this:

>http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_all.php)

The last advisory for Sandy was 30 at:

38.80 N. 74.40 W. on the 29th October 2012 @ 21:00.
It was an 80 knot, Cat 1 (with a minimum pressure of 940 millibars at
that time. Knock yourselves out.)

How far is that from the Queen Charlotte epicentres?

Distance: 4710 km
Initial bearing: 309°04′01″
Final bearing: 265°07′00″

> http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html

That can't be right can it?
I would have said 70 to 130 degrees was considerably further than 40
degrees apart.

60 would have fit my understanding of geotectonics better than 42.
Pity that.

Ah well, going back to the weather chart, if anyone had been watching
the forecast from the 25th for the 28th he might have made out three
lows in the row.

Not enough to tell him anything much though.
Better luck next time.

We might finally get some tornadic stuff on the 6th November 2012.
(Noon Tuesday.)

Almost all tropical storm activity has ceased. I can't see that more
is developing -by the Antarctic chart at least. There is an hideous/
beautiful rash of fronts on the first North Atlantic chart of the day
for today (Sunday the 4th)

Right children lets have your attention.
By my reckoning a large six M. or maybe even a seven is going to occur
according to the North Atlantic and NA EFS.

The Antarctic charts aren't hat clear but the elongations fade, not
smack on the next phase (Wednesday) but it does show a change.

Apopheny:

Three Lows run across Canada on the forecast for midnight the 7th
November 2012 here:

> http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/ensemble/naefs/cartes_e.html

A front on the western coast of the North Atlantic pointed to the
Tuvalu quake at 16 minutes past midnight midnight 3rd/4th.

2012/11/04 @ 00:16
4.9 M. -14.9. 167.3. VANUATU
(Pity we never got to see it until a long time later. I wonder which
kiddie fiddler in Maggie's office thought of that one.)

It was followed by 2 Peruvian quakes

2012/11/04 01:52
4.9 M. -11.9 -75.7. CENTRAL PERU

2012/11/04 06:37
5.4 M. -15.9. -71.9. SOUTHERN PERU
but the three parallel fronts in Europe were still there until noon
today. The Fijian that followed:

2012/11/04 17:07
4.7 M. -24.3. -179.1. SOUTH OF THE FIJI ISLANDS

should have preceded three consecutive quakes at the same location
signalled by the fronts. That hasn't happened yet. But there is a
significant High blocking any westbound Lows from Newfoundland. nd an
accompanying lack of stormitis:

"No Active Tropical Warnings in the Northwest Pacific, North Indian
Ocean, Central Pacific, Eastern Pacific, or Southern Hemisphere

There are no active tropical warnings in the Northwest Pacific/North
Indian Ocean, Central/Eastern Pacific, or Southern Hemisphere at this
time."
(JTWC.)

There could be a tornado outbreak instead of the presumed large quake
as shown on the charts for Tuesday (noon on the 6th until the spell
ends.)

> http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/surface_pressure.html

Too many 5s today (one of them a 5.7) form me to believe it is a large
quake pending.
But I'm keeping my options open. A Norwegian Sea quake is due. (On the
same charts -which means snow in Norway, I believe.)

Eastern Scotland might thus get some dust. All this as the spell runs
out, so another Fijian Triangle quake to follow it then. (Not sure how
that will apply if it turns out to be tornadoes. I suspect it will
still be a quake there for whichever.)

Some long fronts are associated with the situation.

The next phase is at 00:36 on Wednesday. So likely to default to more
High pressure. Misty with it too.
That could get interesting -lots of crashes here this time of year in
such conditions.

I dare say there is more to be seen if only I wasn't too tired to look
any more tonight.

Well that was an odd one.
No tornadoes or anything to go out on.
Maybe the above are all dragging their feet.
Or maybe I was wrong, this time. (I don't think so.)

One spell behind the weather and 7 hours behind the times the
MetOffice chart is showing a deep Low still off the coast of Norway
and the NEIC list is showing nothing but the usual suspects for
Blocking Highs in the North Atlantic.

Bonin Islands etc. (south of Japan and the precursor quakes to the
Fukushima quake, the November/December before it.) have become active
again too.

I had these down as a triple consecutive:
2012/11/06 01:42
5.4 1.338 122.135 MINAHASA, SULAWESI, INDONESIA

2012/11/06 01:36
5.8 1.373 122.181 MINAHASA, SULAWESI, INDONESIA

2012/11/05 11:59
4.8 1.498 128.338 HALMAHERA, INDONESIA

2012/11/05 10:36
4.7 2.628 128.711 HALMAHERA, INDONESIA

It turns out that there are a lot of quakes in that area, maybe there
were triples (or more) but the list failed to show them (being cut off
at 4.5 M.)

More doom and gloom from Earth Observatory. Is it so that they can
press for money for research into evolution or just because the urge
for violence makes better news?

I sometimes wonder if the journalists on Fox News are selected by that
Australian shrike from people on the PR boards of Universities doing
this sort of research and making all the right moves.

I wonder where the BBC gets their clowns form now that Blue Peter has
ended. Selected by the Leeds Mafia perhaps?

It seems the west coast of North America is enjoying an heat wave. I
went looking for volcano news and found that an Alaskan dust storm is
due to ash from an eruption...
... a long time ago.

Or maybe it was glacial coruscation. It depends on which journalist
you follow.

Some years ago some bright spark mooted that feeding the oceans with
iron ore would lower global temperatures. It appears that god has
already thought of that in his design of the planet.

Nice one Jehovah.
Now tell me what happened to that damned Norwegian Sea earthquake you
promised me!.

Seriously.
The phases seem to have been imitating the ones they should have been
for the previous lunar phase for quite some time now.
I wonder if it is a pattern set up somehow by whatever it is that
eventually ends up with a big fat earthquake.

Stil.

Thinking back on the quakes the relationship between Indonesian and
Japanese ones is that they tend to occur during the same run. I wonder
if they bracketed by the same Fijian Triangle islands quaking when
they occur.

I vaguely remember that the running weather fronts are the same length
ones along Western Europe.
(The same way that the Chilean ones have their own signature there
too.)

OK, my Lord, that explains a lot but do we still get a Norwegian Sea
one or not?

Forgive your humble servant but I feel a bit of a plonker about some
of this stuff at the moment.

And what was all that about the striations earlier?

Which would be:

4.9 M. 21.5 South and 178.8 West (2012/11/06 at 03:36)
to
4.7 M. 18.6 South and 168.6 East (2012/11/08 at 03:23)

presumably.

At the time of writing, the chart there shows the fronts clearly start
or end at the Isthmus of Panama. It's a cold front with the other end
of the line running to a warm front that comes out of a Low off the
Carolinas where there is oil.

That warm front runst to the Mid Atlantic Ridge where it skirts the
Azores High, becoming a cold front once more and has its T crossed at
the Atlantic Approaches.

Interesting. And I could write a little more on this but I think that
as with feeding children, a lot relies on one not giving them too much
too soon.

These occurred over head where I was working when the earthquake
happened.
