I sure hope your nice weather comes my way just as surely as your snow storms !!! |

Hugh M Eye User ID: 31662450 United States 03/29/2013 08:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ESA Scientists Study Giant Cyclone at Venus' South Pole- "The vortex is never destroyed, but it evolves continuously between morphologies" or shapes, Garate-Lopez said. The cause for the constant evolution remains a puzzle that the team still hopes to solve. Using the spacecraft's Visible and Infrared Thermal Imaging Spectrometer (VIRTIS), the scientists probed the upper and lower layers of the planet's atmosphere. They concluded that the two centers of rotation of the 12-mile-high (20 kilometers) storm, which exist at different altitudes, rarely line up, a surprising find. "Even if the small-scale structures are different at both altitude levels, the overall morphology of the vortex is conserved, so we thought that the vortex should move as one large-scale feature in the same way in both vertical layers," Garate-Lopez said. "However, this is not the case." The constantly shifting centers create what Garate-Lopez calls a "twisted tube" in the vortex. A bizarre atmosphere Venus spins slowly on its axis, taking 243 Earth-days for the sun to rise and set once. But Venus' atmosphere moves significantly faster, circling the planet once every four Earth days. "The main unsolved question about the atmosphere of Venus is precisely the reason why it super-rotates much faster than the solid planet," Garate-Lopez said.

I'm thinking it would have something to do with the fact its ass spins so slowly on its Axis and its Atmospheres being so dense,that somewhere between the rate of its orbit around the Sun and the inherent energy such compressed gasses will have(Esp.with the Solar Energetic Particles and CRs injected into it)would cause it to have its own kind of spin separate to that of the Planet due to a Charge Difference that kind of makes the two(Atmosphere/Planet)separate bodies...if you see what I am trying to mean..!?

Spittin'Cesium User ID: 14589973 Netherlands 03/29/2013 10:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Has the rundown been given yet? Solen - 'Recent activity The geomagnetic field was quiet to active on March 28. Solar wind speed at SOHO ranged between 352 and 497 km/s. A high speed stream associated with CH562 became the dominant solar wind source during the afternoon and evening hours of the day, the disturbance associated with this stream has become stronger early on March 29. Solar flux measured at 20h UTC on 2.8 GHz was 98.7 (decreasing 12.3 over the last solar rotation). The background x-ray flux was at the class B3 level. At midnight UTC the visible solar disk had 11 spotted active regions (in 2K resolution SDO images). Region 11704 [N15E06] was quiet and stable. Region 11705 [S12W22] decayed slowly and quietly. Region 11706 [S07W09] decayed slowly and quietly. New region 11707 [S11E32] emerged quickly. Further development will increase trhe likelihood of C and perhaps minor M class flares. New region 11708 [N11E72] rotated into view on March 27 and was numbered by SWPC the next day. C flares are possible. Spotted regions not numbered by SWPC: S2314 [S18E38] reemerged with penumbra spots. S2316 [S32W08] developed slowly and quietly. New region S2320 [S22E60] emerged with several spots. New region S2321 [S15E65] emerged with penumbra spots. New region S2322 [S14E16] emerged with a single spot. New region S2323 [S12W12] emerged with a penumbra spot' 'Forecast The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to active on March 29-31 due to effects from CH562/563' [link to www.solen.info] ______________________________________ SWPC Discussion(the whole thing) 'Solar Activity .24 hr Summary... Solar activity was at very low levels. The GOES-15 X-ray flux was steady in the low-B range. Region 1707 (S11E24), along with newly-numbered Regions 1709 (S33W15) and 1710 (S21E52), exhibited a slight growth trend while the other regions on the disk were either stable or decaying. A 5 degree dissapearing solar filament, centered near S19E71, was observed on H-Alpha imagery from 29/0315 - 29/0400 UTC. We are awaiting LASCO and STEREO imagery to determine if a coronal mass ejection (CME) resulted from this event. .Forecast... Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels with a chance for C-class events for the next two days (29 - 31 Mar). Energetic Particle .24 hr Summary... The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at moderate to high levels, reaching a peak value of 1,230 particle flux units (pfu) at 28/1605 UTC. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux at geosynchronous orbit was at nonrmal background levels. .Forecast... The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to remain at moderate to high levels for the next three days (29 - 31 Mar), due to an enhanced solar wind environment caused by a coronal hole/high speed stream (CH/HSS). The greater than 10 MeV proton flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to remain at normal background levels for the next three days (29 - 31 Mar). Solar Wind .24 hr Summary... Solar wind parameters, measured at the ACE spacecraft, were indicative of a CH/HSS. Solar wind speed increased from initial values of approximately 375 km/s to end-of-period values of approximately 450 km/s. The interplanetary magnetic field Bt values ranged from 10 nT to 1 nT while the Bz component ranged from +5 nT to -8 nT. Some variation was observed in the phi angle, although it remained in a predominately negative (away) sector for the majority of the period. .Forecast... The solar wind speed is expected to remain enhanced for the next two days (29 - 30 Mar), in response to a CH/HSS. Solar wind speed is likely to return to nominal values on day three (31 Mar) as CH/HSS influence wanes. Geospace .24 hr Summary... The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels early in the period, increasing to active conditions after 29/0759 UTC in response to a CH/HSS. .Forecast... The geomagnetic field is likely to remain at unsettled to active conditions until around 1500 UTC on day one (29 Mar), when conditions are expected to decrease to predominately unsettled conditions. Predominately quiet to unsettled conditions are expected for days two and three (30 - 31 Mar)' [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] The thing that hath been, is That which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done:and there is no new thing under the Sun.
