The garbage quality of that video makes one wonder what they don't want the public to see. I have owned entry level pro digital cameras and camcorders that have much better picture quality than that.

been away all day, heard it on the radio earlier though
just had a look on NIED Hi-net
Lat/Long: 37.204 144.5851

Depth: 54.5
Mag: 7.7 ML
Location: Off East Coast Of Honshu. Japan
Status: Preliminary

here is an interactive map of all the earthquakes in Japan since the 7.7
I only count 8 in the immediate area.
not many.

Hmmmmmmmmm . . . Japan sure seems . . . slated for some more "interesting times" . . . though actually . . . all of us are.

Yup and you'd certainly expect the Japanese to have that technology!
I would love an explanation as to what those 'things' are that appear to drop into the area, also what's with the constant distortion of the buildings window until the end of the vid? This is why I used the word spooky in my original post of this vid.

Latest version of the IRIS IEB URL Builder is now available. Version 1.4.0 Build 5 (1.4.5.0)

The link above goes to the help file updated today which has links to the download.

Main addition in this version is epicentre input and the browser selection is fixed.

Even at night?

Seems quite good for night time to me, but then I don't know much about web cams.

Interactive Map of those IRIS recorded events Japan 7.3 area History

Looks like Google Maps have finally allowed scaled Icons on the interactive maps, you never used to be able to do that, they used to all come out the same size and the smaller ones were the same size as the standard 32x32 pixel size but were blurred.
Well done Google, you finally done something people actually want!
I don't know if I should change the base scaling on all my maps, its easily done, but may look funny on the M7+ maps as the pink markers will all be 133% size and swamp the small size map on the pages.

edit:
here is a comparison
M7+ project 2013 year standard icons

M7+ project 2013 yearscaled icons

and here is New Zealand daily map comparison 24/10/2013


personally I don't like the scaled icons, especially for NZ, what do you people think?

I might just use them for IRIS maps, so they match in with 3DV, as in the above post about Japan. Probably would work with my regular Japan maps too, with 300+ events per day it gets a bit crowded, but not sure how I could do that without changing the scale right across the board I sure ain't redoing Japan on its own, there are 24,825 icons on 2013 alone, and thats only up till April 22nd!


edit2:
and here is Japan compared Jan 1st 2013, 179 icons/events
it looks easier on the eye if it is in terrain style rather than map view eh?, less clutter with the labels


Too bad they don't have a "Poll" facility on ATS, I could run a Poll and folks could vote for their preference, I do take note of readers preferences.


edit3:
What the scaling DOES do is let you see instantly where the bigger quakes are at on the map, like on this Japan week one 2013 page.
HOWEVER, when you zoom IN from that scale on the map, you lose the position of the the icon because of the green background and the small size of it ( and they can get confused with town markers too)

Muzzy, all good work. It all looks nice and complicated and very pretty. But to be honest It makes little sense to me. I know you have put a great deal of work into it and I appreciate that enormously. I prefer your earlier efforts. BTW, are you sure people are not looking at your earlier work and taking it one step forward because they have the budget to do it?

Now, is this 7.3 a foreshock for another really big one. That is the critical question at this time. Your views?

Thanks in advance.

THX THX.

Will have to study your excellent instructions more to find the drop down menu of already loaded locations. LOL.

Wonderful work.

With my neck in the guillotine I say NO!

The chance of another great earthquake, i.e.8+, here in the near future is extremely slim.

Minor fix to the program. I discovered that if you enter 2 decimal values for the epicentre, i.e. without N S E W, separated with a comma the program actually returns blank to both fields.

THX THX for your 'tireless' work for all of us.

Wonderful.

Will download the update.

reply to post by pheonix358


Thanks, OK then that is 2 votes for retaining the old standard size icons, mine is the other one

No I don't think this is a foreshock of anything too traumatic in the immediate future, its way out on the Pacific Plate and is probably due to compression of that plate as it crunches up against the North American Plate or as the downward edge gets pulled under Japan. All the foreshocks, and the main shock of the 2011 M9 were on the North American Plate, just a few of the aftershocks were in this area (see the interactive map I did)

you can see the Wati-Bene zone shape on this cross section ( hover on View/Look, then click on North

I notice NIED had the depth at 54.5km whereas IRIS and JMA have it at 10km

Hi!
Where is everybody???
Lately this thread is treated just like a parent of grown children...
Nobody comes around unless they want or need something,
or 'something' has happened!!! Bwahahaha!

But at least they do still come around once in a while!

Anyway, only time for turbo lurking lately!
My 2 cent vote is for the standard.
WOQ

Some of us check the thread regularly but don't always have anything meaningful enough to contribute to bother with a post that's not a "quality post."

And Muzzy and Puterman . . . quake jockey's extraordinaire . . . do quite well without my blather distracting from their great work. LOL.
