Meteor? Or...

reply to post by CLPrime


The individual spikes are something right?



When it spikes up to white?

Another one.

As I've already said, the level at which the Troposphere is reflecting Meteorscan's source signal can't be expected to stay constant. It's going to spike at times, while subsiding at other times. These spikes just means higher Troposphere reflectivity.

Though, there may very well be the occasional meteor mixed in there, though they will always spike perpendicular to the false return we're seeing (meaning they cover a broader range of frequencies).

Not weather weather. Tropospheric weather. Greater temperature differential, things of that nature.

A couple of which have occurred while this thread has been in progress.

Yes sir. Which is why I added that in there. I noticed them between fits of hysteria.

is quite so far right now, they said this event was an aftershock of the main event on past september, but the weird thing is that we have had like 80 aftershock or more, also OVSICORI downgrade the earthquake to 5.6 but USGS still showing up as 6.5...

I went ahead and "star and flagged" this. I think it's important for people who look at raw data to know what it is they are looking at (yes I know raw data looks a lot different, but still)

This information looks like something BIG is happening, but in truth it's a common signal.

I am not being hysterical, I am trying to learn something new and its exciting to me.

I just want to know if all these spikes are false positives.

There's another one all the way to white.

Some of them have to be something.

Not your hysteria, my hysteria. It comes and goes with the spikes on that graph.

reply to post by timetothink

Spikes which show no change in frequency are false returns.
Spikes which show a change in frequency are not.

Sorry, thought you meant me.

reply to post by Phage


Is the change in frequency when it appears to move left to right on the graph?


I'm not sure how to explain it....it appears on graph as a spike, then appears a couple seconds later in a different spot on graph.

reply to post by timetothink

Yes.
It's too bad we can't select different or clearer representations (can we?). A simple frequency/time display might be easier to read.

reply to post by Phage


I think I get it, a couple of them did that.

I am better at seeing than hearing when learning.

Wish I could post the screen grabs...

If I'm understanding this correctly, (...and please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here), what they are saying is that that outbound signal is being reflected back into the receiver by the atmospheric weather. That is why its showing up so strongly only on the frequency that they are sending out, with nothing appearing on the other frequencies. If it was hitting an actual object, which caused the frequency to “Doppler shift”, then you would see it show up on the other frequency bands as well. As there is no object, its only an “atmospheric bounce” or “reflection”, there is no speed, thus no shift, so it's returning only on the one frequency that was sent out by the transmitter.

Phage how can you tell what is a meteor and what is a false reading.

Are the false readings the ones that are identical. The blip or sudden increase could be a meteor?

Side Note - Also would you mind looking at the seismic activity?
earthquake.usgs.gov...
Id also like to be able to read this and know if it's normal or not normal for the readings to be the way they are.

Thanks.
