Moving to the rhythm of the Sun (8/20/2007)

Scientists from the Ulysses mission have proven that sounds generated deep inside the Sun cause the Earth to shake and vibrate in sympathy. They have found that Earth's magnetic field, atmosphere and terrestrial systems, all take part in this cosmic sing-along.
David Thomson and Louis Lanzerotti are team members of the HISCALE experiment on board Ulysses, a joint mission between ESA and NASA. Together with colleagues Frank Vernon, Marc Lessard and Lindsay Smith, they present evidence that proves that Earth moves to the rhythm of the Sun. They show that distinct, isolated tones, predicted to be generated by pressure and gravity waves in the Sun, manage to reach Earth and are detectable in our environment.
Thomson and colleagues have discovered these tones in seismic data and have found them in Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere, and even in voltages induced on ocean cables, along with a wide variety of terrestrial systems. Although these tones are all around us, it would not be possible for us to hear them, even if we listened very closely.
According to Thomson, data from Ulysses provided an important clue as to how these sounds generated deep inside the Sun reach the Earth.
His team also present new evidence for these tones in various terrestrial systems here on Earth. They also provide an explanation for the mechanism by which these tones, originating from deep inside the solar interior manage to make their way to Earth, and pervade our environment.

It was found that the position of the Sun induces stresses on the earth and Moon surfaces. Here is the title and the abstract of the paper which provides details of the findings. I can email this paper to the interested persons.

SEMI-DIURNAL RF EMISSIONS AT TIME INTERVALS EQUALLY SPACED FROM THE LOCAL NOON TIME: A PROMISING EARTHQUAKE PRECURSOR.

Various research workers have reported EM emission in different frequency band prior to the earthquakes or during an earthquake sequence. In few cases these EM emissions were consistently found during certain hours of the day. EM emissions associated with the Valsad earthquake sequence (1991) were found to be very significant, as experienced by a radio telemetered seismic network (RTSN) at Bhatsa, Maharashtra state, India, prior to, during and after the earthquake sequence. A portion of the RF disturbance between 11th and 30th April 1991, prior to the main event, provided semidiurnal (twice in a day) characteristics, in which RF emission was consistently experienced at two timings during the day spaced equally in time scale from mid day timings. Similar types of semi-diurnal patterns spaced in time domain from the local noon time was observed in many other examples of EM emission prior to earthquakes / volcanic eruption. Also such emissions were observed in a very wide frequency band from VLF to Microwave range. It was also found in these examples that the occurrences of earthquakes/eruption of volcanoes were simultaneous with the timings of these EM emissions. From this study, it can be concluded that the semidiurnal stresses on the earth and moon, are primarily caused by the position of the Sun. This paper discusses all these examples in detail and discusses an application for the development of reliable monitoring of earthquake / volcanic eruption precursor in the high seismicity area.

Dear Sir,
I have launched a website named "www.glo-seismo-warn.org", which contains various information on Earthquakes, Tsunamis, and Volcanoes.
I am a researcher of seismic events since last 19 years and had successfully detected seismic events in prior since last 12 years. The website contains the information on Seismic events which were successfully detected by me, and that's why I had named it "Early Warning for Global Seismic Hazards". This method‘s basis upon the SOLAR activity.
So, it is my heartily request to you that kindly take a little effort to visit my website and give me your valuable suggestion or comments in the form available in the website.
Expecting your positive favorable reply.
Thank you,
Regards,
( Pravin M. Bagga )
