It will shake us about IMHO. Like going from no wind to hurricane force winds in an instant. What would that do to any environment? any chance of it causing eq doom 9/10 as predicted by that Boylan dude? Yes. Will be some quake doom but I am not in the habit of predicting magnitudes unless I see a signal for it. What magnitudes they will be all depends. |

humuhumunukuapuaa User ID: 1532121 United States 09/08/2011 02:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.theregister.co.uk] Quoting: Sunpar Solar flares are massive releases of radiation associated with sunspots. If they hit Earth, they can deliver large amounts of energy into the atmosphere: they can also damage or destroy satellites or probe craft in space, particularly where these are beyond some or all of the protective magnetic fields of Earth. According to a statement issued yesterday by scientists investigating results from the orbiting Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), such flares carry much more energy than had been thought. The statement says: Scientists have observed that radiation from solar flares sometimes continues for up to five hours beyond the initial minutes of the main phase of a solar flare occurrence. The new data also show that the total energy from this extended phase of the solar flare peak sometimes has more energy than that of the initial event. On Nov 3, 2010, a solar flare was observed by SDO. If scientists had only measured the effects of the solar flare as it initially happened, the information would have resulted in underestimating the amount of energy shooting into Earth's atmosphere by 70 per cent. The new capability with SDO observations will provide a much more accurate estimation of the total energy input into Earth's environment. [See article at above link] Source: [link to iopscience.iop.org] I wonder if this 5 hour elongated earth energy absorption also applies to CMEs? This would also mean, perhaps significant recalculations for solar flare (and maybe CMEs) on things like: 1. Hurricane activity 2. Earthquake activity 3. Potential for solar energy alternatives:through timing capture with 'impact'. 4. Other stuff. Seems like a big miscalculation that should have been caught here on earth....maybe this means we not only gain more energy from these events, but we also lose energy from our system quicker than we knew....dunno.

[referring to berkely 9/4 - 9/8] I would think that would be even better for solar absorption, and maybe the other flares are incidental to this....speculation.... Anyway, I am certain Nin or someone else will set me straight on how to determine where elenin is in juxtaposition to the suns events. I hope.
