Quake Watch 2011

Puterman,

I read that wiki article on microsiesm noise. At the moment, on the Arkansas graphs, there is significant microsiem readings. It is very interesting that I can see weather on the siemographs. Usually it's lighting and wind. But I think you can see, either a hurricane on the west coast, or, it's tropical waves in the Atlantic.

www.weather.com...

I'll edit myself and not rant about my "theories". But, I think the narrow strips of land, Florida and Central America, are affected by strong waves and this has an influence on quakes further inland.

Hhhhmm.... significant wave action showing near Guam and Coos Bay Oregon on the National Data Buoy Centre website.

NDBC site


Coos Bay Buoy 46407.... possible malfunction perhaps? Like hauled up the side of a ship for maintenance? Tropical storm?

42.64 N 128.25 W This is a rough approximation of where the buoy is.

According to Google Earth the is a old volcanic cone/ridge in that area.

Interesting find in any case.

In this video he is talking specifically talking about the smell in San Diego -
he briefly reminds us that in a prior video he talks about the fact that there had been an announcement of a fresh lava field off of the coast of Oregon.

He goes further into this in prior videos - originally stemming from the desire to find answers to the strange plumes of "smoke" that were rising from the hills near Santa Barbara.

Just a consideration of information.

Yes the Atlantic is very 'noisy' at present.

Take a look at Tristan da Cunnha



It is the first one on my 'home' page and is always a good weather indicator.

RE: reply to post by angelchemuel

What more can I say other than that EMSC also use 2km as a default, and of course that does not explain why many on the trot! I guess it is something that happens. There was a bunch about the same size on the 14th.

Puterman - etal - would you mind taking a look at This and give me you thinking. This is along the coast in Oregon.

Atmospheric Frequency Wave, expessed in Enrgy Release,,,,,lightning?

Called by Bob our hero "Frac Destroyer" AKA "Robin The Terrible" races to Montana to set the Montana Board of Oil & Gas straight about the dangers of fracking.

Thank you for that!

Image is PRICELESS, and oh so fitting!

reply to post by Anmarie96


Sweetie sorry, but that station is not Oregon, but on the very northwestern tip of Washington state:



LRIV Broadband station is yellow triangle, and you can see it selected on the right.

As to what the 1 to 2 HZ red content is, from that location near the water, might be shipping traffic- but I don't think so. It is consistent with other seismic activity I have seen on spectrographs monitoring the coast of Japan- not when a quake hits, but sort of a rumbling... (I edited that).

reply to post by Anmarie96


The magnetometer is flatish so I don't think it is Solar. I will see it I can get hold of it to have a listen. The 4 Hz flat bar seems to associated with the sliding frequency above it, but it is dropping down over nearly an hour. 2 am was coming out of a dip in the Z channel so could be.

Gakona Magnetometer 36 hrs

This image is fixed to the relevant time period..

LRIV.UW..BHZ.2011.231

Nothing untoward there. Signal is a bit broken. You can see the Honshu quake coming in at about 5:47.

The next black mark is the Mag 3.3 Washington @ 06:54:59

LRIV.UW..ENZ.2011.231 Showing some microseism activity.

--------->CAN ROBIN THE TERRIBLE OVERTURN A TABLES DECISION!<
will others,,be needed?

the board of trade,,
can it be overturned by ROBIN THE TERRIBLE ,, lets listen in,,
Bob: I dont know who can we send , Mr Perry,,
Louis,, "i know id send Superman" if he was here,,,
"it looks pretty heavy",,,,hmm

"Gee Louis, i'm sure Superman will here about it,,"
said Jimmy biting his lip,,

Meanwhile back at the Justice league,,
Well Jon,, looks like ,,"ROBIN THE TERRIBLE",,


Stay tuned

Thanks for that. I read the station map WRONG :-) names on bottom not on top. Still odd. Maybe just the tremors. Being hit here with major electrical storms and golf ball size hail - time for me to do storm control.

Note EMSC has brought it down to 6.3 Mb now, but JMO still has it at 6.8. It certainly does not look like a 6.8 as muzzy said.

www.emsc-csem.org...

You shouldn't talk to yourself you know, can get confusing as to who said what

The one I was refering to that didn't look a Mag 6 was the Fiji one.
At the time on SNZO the trace was on the bottom line so hard to see for sure.
Now its in the middle and with the Japan quake added since theres even more evidence that it wasn't a Mag 6.
However ............. GFZ are showing both as 6.2Mw (if you click on the beachball they give thier magnitude type there, (just found that))

Compare the two quakes. (the data in the boxes is from usgs phase data)


There are several parameters that make it hard to compare directly.
1. depth
2. number of stations used

see how with only (1) and (2) stations on the Fiji one makes the reading high
but with the (474) and (10) stations on the Japan one the reading comes down (from 6.8ML JMA)

FWIW the mb reading for Japan has gone up from when I looked just after the quake (I think it was 5,6) and the MS reading wasn't even there.
I really should get in the habit of screenshotting the phase data at the time

To make it even more confusing the USGS phase data (5.6 GS) for the Fiji quake doesn't match the Details page where they have 6.2Mw

reply to post by Anmarie96


I have had a listen to part of it. The signal is so broken that the first 8 hours of the day comes in 90 parts!

It is almost certainly electrical/magnetic for the reasonable size chunk I could get at. Not seismic anyway.

Try on this one. quakewatch.wordpress.com...

Maybe Robin the Ranter is more applicable. I think "the Terrible" should be saved for leaders that cause massive civilian deaths.

Humbly, if I have any power at all, it's that I have a motor mouth. Faster than chipmunk on meth. More manical than a million Charlie Sheens. Able to mangle the monrgel english language in a single sentence.

I didn't respond to the Montana decision because I didn't know how. It made me angry. I started looking for information about Arkansas drillers buying trucks for the Oil and Gas Commision. Couldn't find it. Then started thinking about the corruption in the oil industry. Then became despondant.

We don't need super heros.
We need more people like Susan Frey. She became active politically and spoke out and testified.
Change only comes when enough people demand it.
It was the public outcry that stopped the injection wells and stopped the swarm of earthquakes.

Arkansas was the exception. In part, because you can't ignore a 4.7M earthquake that shakes four states.

Unfortunately, the only thing that seems to rile most people is TAXES.
Taxes which pay for regulators who enforce our regulatory laws.
Regulations which protect us.
Ironic.

Perry and the oilboys want to kill the EPA.
In jest, I am a super hero.
In reality, Perry and his overlords are super villians.
They are the legion of doom.

edit on 19-8-2011 by Robin Marks because: (no reason given)

Back at J.L.H,,hmmm "They are the legion of doom. "
i think he said,,
TULSA DOOM.so thats behind it? said Jon,,
No send him too help,,"replied Batman"
you can't mean thee Tulsa Doom,,???
yup,,
he's had a "enlightnig" we'll say,,,
AS usual,, Jon didn't know what Batman meant,, but,,,
Stay tuned

Bah, who needs phase data?

After seeing so many quakes in GEE, you get used to their signatures and magnitudes- I called it "6 range" before it ever posted to either JMA or USGS:

www.abovetopsecret.com...

First thought was 6.5ish, but then subtracted -.5 for conservatism. After all said and done was a 6.3. By looking at just amplitude vs. P and S wave arrival times in the signature, it tells a lot right there. Multiple station confirmation and distance propagation also help. Poor man's seismology!

And not sure, but I don't think JMA ever does much changes to their postings. Once it's up, it's staying. What, Japanese seismologists make a mistake and revise? NEVER!

And OH> btw muzzy, I saw that Fiji quake come in on GEE. No way that was 6+. 5.7 tops.
