Billions of people everyday Rush under them without pause Billions of eyes do not see This wonderful divinie great cause It only takes a moment But too hurried and too consumed With things that do not matterThat we go about our day For what But there they always are Like sentries at a gate They cover the sun to cool And they beckon the sun to shade Light and color they grace And light and color give way The rymthem of life goes forth and the sun and sea obey And a new one begins The mountians will be glad For the cycle begins anew a river a rushing stream Without a thought or wonder from us is required This flow is from HIM Without it we expire Some will stop and glance Fewer might bow and pray Still most never bother to ponder the ONE who made our eyes that see all things aboveand beneath THE CLOUDS Romans 120

Scalper Squeeze Indicator - screenshot1241357649.jpg

I'm excited last night after showing my Scalpes Channel to a guest at my party I got to thinking about what it's showing me Volatility So I started to tinker with the code and created an indicator to measure volatility constriction or as TradeTheMarkets call it the Squeeze Wow it works awesome at identifying price consolidation and a pending breakout AND THE DIRECTION Where you see dots plotted bottom indicator is where volatility is below a certain threshold From what I can tell the golonggoshort clues are 1golong if price is bouncing off the bottom of the channel the floor 2goshort if price is bouncing off the upper channel the ceiling and 3 if price fails at the midline take the trade in the direction of the preceding trend This is a dynamic indicator I use SNR digital signal to noise ratio to find the dominate cycle period to measure volatility distribution You Asked hippie how is it 180 opposite U mean u use their entry for exit and vice verse No I'm not taking a reverse signal from the TTM BBSqueeze I'll out line the differences between the Scalper Squeeze SS and the BBSqueeze BBS it 1 While the SS is looking for an expansion of the STDEV the BBS is looking for a contraction 2 While the SS is looking for volatility contraction the BBS is looking for volatility expansion which by the way is the entry signal and direction While the SS is looking for volatility contraction the direction of the move is predicated upon the price location withing the SS for example if price is at the top of the channel I can forecast that price will go down and if it's at the bottom of the channel it will go up If price is at the middle fo the channel it will revert back to the mean of the previous trend So you can see it's simular but 180 degress different

Solar Geomagnetic Ap Index now at lowest point in its record

Solar Geomagnetic Ap Index now at lowest point in its record - solar_ap_index_10062008-520.png

As many regular readers know Ive pointed out several times the incident of the abrupt and sustained lowering of the Ap Index which occurred in October 2005 The abrupt step change seemed to me to be out of place with the data and the fact that the sun seems so have reestablished at a lower plateau of the Ap index after that event and has not recovered is an anomaly worth investigatingFrom the data provided by NOAAs Space Weather Prediction Center SWPC you can see just how little Ap magnetic activity there has been since Heres a graph from October 2008 showing the step in october 2005click for a larger imageHowever some have suggested that this event doesnt merit attention and that it is not particularly unusual I beg to differ Heres whyIn mid December I started working with Paul Stanko who has an active interest in the solar data and saw what I saw in the Ap Index He did some research and found Ap data that goes back further all the way to 1932 His source for the data is the SPIDR Space Physics Interactive Data Resource which is a division of NOAAs National Geophysical Data Center NGDC He did some data import and put it all into a multpage Excel spreadsheet which you can access hereI had planned to do more study of it but you know how holidays are lots of things to do with that free time I didnt get back to looking at it until today especially after SWPC updated their solar datasets on January 3rd including the Ap Index Looking at the data to 1932 it was clear to me that what we are seeing today for levels doesnt exist in the recordAbout the same time I got an email from David Archibald showing his graph of the Ap Index graphed back to 1932 Having two independent sources of confirmation Ive decided to post this then The solar average geomagnetic planetary index Ap is at its lowest level in 75 years for the entirety of the recordClick for a larger image Ive added some annotation to the graph provided by Archibald to point out areas of interest and to clarify some aspects of it for the novice readerThe last time the Ap index was this low was 1933 The December 2008 Ap value of 2 released by SWPC yesterday has never been this low Further the trend from October 2005 continues to decline after being on a fairly level plateau for two years It has started a decline again in the last yearThis Ap index is a proxy that tells us that the sun is now quite inactive and the other indices of sunspot index and 107 radio flux also confirm this The sun is in a full blown funk and your guess is as good as mine as to when it might pull out of it So far predictions by NOAAs SWPC and NASAs Hathway have not been near the reality that is being measuredThe starting gate for solar cycle 24 opened ayear ago today when I announced the first ever cycle 24 sunspot However in the year since it has become increasingly clear that the horse hasnt left the gate and may very well be lame

The Gottlieb Transit CorridorThe new Robert J and Suzanne Gottlieb Transit Corridor a monumental 150footlong 10footwide glasswalled passageway immerses visitors in the motions of the Sun Moon and stars across the sky and demonstrates how these motions are linked with time and the calendar Like the Observatory's other public observing instruments the Gottlieb Transit Corridor transforms visitors into astronomical observers and immerses them in the meaning of those observationsThe passage of time and the cycle of the seasons is fundamental knowledge The Sun's daily passage transit across the northsouth line meridian and its changing elevation along the northsouth arc that bridges the sky celestial meridian have been observed by people all over the Earth from prehistoric antiquity While our world now moves with a precision defined by atomic clocks the zeropoint of time remains the transit of the Sun through the meridian the northsouth line that stretches around the globe at a given location on the EarthThe Gottlieb Transit Corridor is an accurate outdoor public astronomical instrument built belowgrade onto the west side of the Observatory Its form echoes similar instruments from ancient temples and medieval churches but updates the concept for the 21st century The instrument has four primary components 1 Meridian line A bronze meridian line runs down the center of the glasswalled corridor It is bounded on the north by stairs to the lawn and on the south by a large black monolith The line defines the meridian on the ground while the walls of the corridor flank the celestial meridian in the sky The stairs and banister are angled to the north pole of the sky 2 Foil Mounted at an angle on the top of the monolith the foil is a thin curving metal panel containing a sixinch longfocallength lens As the Sun moves across the sky each day the lens sharpens the Sun's light into a spot that moves across the walls and floor of the corridor 3 Meridian arc Centered at the south end of the corridor a bronzefaced meridian arc displays the meridian line and is inscribed with month and day markings seasonal and lunar indicators and constellation figures The arc is 18 feet long and 135 feet high Each day at local noon as the Sun passes the spot of sunlight moves across the meridian on the 7inch arc and enables visitors to see how the Sun's progress is linked to the calendar In a modern twist photoelectric sensors embedded in the meridian arc are activated by the transiting spot of sunlight and send a signal to the ecliptic chart 4 Ecliptic chart On the west side of the corridor a 22footlong stainless steel engraved star chart illustrates the Sun's annual path through the background stars and the constellations they occupy When sunlight strikes the photoelectric sensors on the meridian arc the signal activates LEDs embedded in the ecliptic chart and lights up the stars of the constellation through which the Sun is passing In this way the Sun's light reveals to visitors the unseen sky that is always present but invisible to our view because the Sun is so bright

Svenmarks Cosmic Ray Interaction Diagram

Svenmarks Cosmic Ray Interaction Diagram - climate_graph11.gif

Cosmic Rays and the Variation in Cloud Cover the Sun the Clouds 1Ten years ago Dr Jasper Kirkby whilst working at CERN postulated that the sun and cosmic rays will probably be able to account for somewhere between a half and the whole of the increase in the Earth's temperature that we have seen in the last century Global warming he theorized may be part of a natural cycle in the Earth's temperatureHe proposed a research programme consisting of atmospheric physicists solar physicists and cosmic ray and particle physicists from 18 institutes around the world including the California Institute of Technology and Germany's MaxPlanck InstituteUnfortunately he ran into intense opposition and Dr Kirkby was immediately condemned by climate scientists for minimizing the role of human beings in global warming Stories in the media disparaged Dr Kirkby by citing scientists who feared oilindustry lobbyists would use his statements to discredit the greenhouse effect And the funding approval for Dr Kirkby's pathbreaking experiment seemingly a sure thing when he first announced his proposal was put on iceIt has taken 10 years for the project to be refunded as the CLOUD Cosmics Leaving OUtdoor Droplets laboratory experiment which CERN believes will show the mechanisms through which the sun and cosmic rays can influence the formation of clouds and thus the climate The CLOUD project will use a highenergy particle beam from an accelerator to closely duplicate cosmic rays found in the atmosphereBut there are a large body of scientists around the world who have pointed to the influence on the climate of the sun and clouds Those with closed minds like David Viner of the Climate Research Unit of the University of East Anglia have this to say about the science of cosmic ray cloud formation we can explain the temperature discrepancy between the surface and the low atmosphere without recourse to this proposalAnd of course it is this attitude that held back research into this area for yearsFigure 10 Solar activity left panel not CO2 levels right panel highlycorrelate with Arctic temperature anomaliesKnowledge of the linkage between the sun and the clouds is not new In the Influence of Solar Activity on State of Wheat Market in Medieval England Pustilnik 2003 we find a seemingly radical hypothesis dating from British astronomer William Herschel who suggested a link between sunspots and wheat prices in 1801 He noticed an inverse correlation between the number of sunspots in the 11year cycle and the price of grain on Earth The more sunspots the finer the weather and the finer the weather the more the grain grows and the more the grain grows the lower the priceIt was resurrected in 1959 by US researcher Edward Ney but it remained a hypothesis even though it could be supported by historical records and statistical associations but were not empirically demonstrated However at the same time as Kirkby proposed his programme Henrik Svensmark and the team at the Danish National Space Center commenced a programme to investigate the relationship between Clouds and Solar WindsSvensmark used a cloud chamber to determine the interaction between cosmic rays and clouds He estimated that the indirect cloud effect in just 5 years was responsible for a 2 decrease in low clouds the kind that reflect incoming solar radiation by day which in turn equates to an increase in surface warming of 12 Wm2 from incident radiation equivalent to some 85 of the IPCC's estimate for the effect of all carbon dioxide increase since the Industrial RevolutionSignificantly the Svensmark Effect only operates in the lower troposphere because there is always more than sufficient ionization of the upper atmosphere to ensure no shortage of cloud nuclei This is important since high thin clouds do not reflect incoming sunlight and are a net warming influence while the reverse is true of low bright clouds The effect then directly influences cooling cloud coverHowever there is also a counterintuitive parallel effect condensation and precipitation will likely reduce the total lower atmospheric concentration of that ubiquitous greenhouse gas water vapour so increasing clear sky radiative cooling It's true that clouds account for roughly onefifth of the greenhouse effect but gaseous water vapour accounts for more than onehalf of the total effect Reduced condensation then would leave an increased proportion of gaseous water vapour with corresponding increase in clear sky greenhouse effect Increased solar activity acts directly on the Earth with a small increase in radiation a small heating effect and an associated increase in evaporation This same increase in activity suppresses cosmic ray penetration of Earth's atmosphere thus reducing available low cloud condensation nuclei This sequence of events increases clear sky and incoming radiation while increasing the already dominant clear sky greenhouse effect from gaseous water vapourThe reverse effect of a more quiescent sun reduces direct solar warming and by permitting the penetration of cosmic rays facilitates low cloud formation which increases reflection of already reduced solar radiation reduces clear sky reduces evaporation and simultaneously reduces the availability of the most important greenhouse gas water vapour through condensation and precipitationThus solar activity has associative positive feedback when more active and negative feedback when less active dramatically magnifying Earth's thermal response to changes in solar activity and explaining how fractions of Wm2 change in direct solar radiation translate to many Wm2 effect between positive and negative phases of relative solar activityGood cloud data is in short supply and covers only the recent decades but we can derive cosmic ray intensity and deduce there has been a general reduction in cloud cover during the 20th Century While Svensmark is hesitant to extrapolate from very short data series always a dubious procedure it is entirely plausible that reduction in low cloud over the period could conservatively be estimated to have increased heating at Earth's surface by 510 Wm2 an amount more than sufficient to account for all the estimated warming over the periodSvensmark theory makes some intuitive sense because over the last century the Sun has been unusually active which means fewer cosmic rays and a warmer climate on Earth The sun still except for the normal variation due to sun spot activity which at present is nearing the end of an 11year cycle is also coming to the end in 2 to 3 years of what is called the Grand Maximum This also will occur when results are expected from Kirkbys CLOUD experiments As Richard Black Environment Correspondent for the BBC statesIf it does and if Henrik Svensmark is right we should then see cosmic rays increase and global temperatures start to fall if that happens he can expect to see a Nobel Prize and thousands of redfaced former IPCC members queuing up to hand back the one they have just receivedI can't waitBut although results from the CLOUD experiments have not yet been published the Svensmark theory has been subjected to many attacks from Lockwood Frohlich and from Professor Terry Sloan of Lancaster University One would have thought that the best approach from a controversial theory would be to wait until the CLOUD experiments reported results one way or the other But that is not the method of global warming science Every alternative theory has to be trashed in the manner of the quick rebuttal unit' perfected by New Labour
