Solar Cycle 24: the Perfect Storm

The climatic and biosphere processes here on Earth (through a tightly connected feedback system) are directly impacted by, and linked back to, the general overall transformational processes taking place in our Solar System. We must begin to organize our attention and thinking to understand that climatic changes on Earth are only one part, or link, in a whole chain of events taking place in our Heliosphere.

These deep physical processes, these new qualities of our physical and geological environment, will impose special adaptive challenges and requirements for all life forms on Earth. Considering the problems of adaptation our biosphere will have with these new physical conditions on Earth, we need to distinguish the general tendency and nature of the changes. As we will show below,these tendencies may be traced in the direction of planet energy capacity growth (capacitance), which is leading to a highly excited or charged state of some of Earth's systems.The most intense transformations are taking place in the planetary gas-plasma envelopes to which the productive possibilities of our biosphere are timed. Currently this new scenario of excess energy run-off is being formed, and observed:

In the ionosphere by plasma generation.

In the magnetosphere by magnetic storms.

In the atmosphere by cyclones.

This high-energy atmospheric phenomena, which was rare in the past, is now becoming more frequent, intense, and changed in its nature. The material composition of the gas-plasma envelope is also being transformed.

It is quite natural for the whole biota of the Earth to be subjected to these changing conditions of the electromagnetic field, and to the significant deep alterations of Earth's climatic machinery. These fundamental processes of change create a demand within all of Earth's life organisms for new forms of adaptation. The natural development of these new forms may lead to a total global revision of the range of species, and life, on Earth . New deeper qualities of life itself may come forth, bringing the new physical state of the Earth to an equilibrium with the new organismic possibilities of development, reproduction, and perfection. In this sense it is evident that we are faced with a problem of the adaptation of humanity to this new state of the Earth; new conditions on Earth whose biospheric qualities are varying, and non-uniformly distributed. Therefore the current period of transformation is transient, and the transition of life's representatives to the future may take place only after a deep evaluation of what it will take to comply with these new Earthly biospheric conditions. Each living representative on Earth will be getting a thorough "examination," or "quality control inspection," to determine it's ability to comply with these new conditions.These evolutionary challenges always require effort, or endurance, be it individual organisms, species, or communities. Therefore, it is not only the climate that is becoming new, but we as human beings are experiencing a global change in the vital processes of living organisms, or life itself; which is yet another link in the total process. We cannot treat such things separately, or individually.

I tend to agree with the theory that geomagnetic reversals are caused by the chaotic flow within the outer core. They internally generated random events.

The last geomagetic reversal occurred 780,000 years ago. Are you postulating that a CME powerful enough to reverse the magnetic field last occurred then?

Geomagnetic reversals take thousands of years to occur, how is that reconciled with the effects of a geomagnetic storm which last a matter of days at most.

You provide no mechanism for magnetic pressure causing a reversal. Magnetic pressure is an effect of magnetism, not a cause. Magnetic pressure does not cause a magnetic field to reverse. As I pointed out, the magnitude of the changes in Earth's magnetic field during a geomagnetic storm are really quite slight in comparison the the strength of the field.

1.0 TRANSFORMATION OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM

We will list the recent large-scale events in the Solar System in order to fully understand, and comprehend, the PlanetoPhysical transformations taking place. This development of events, as it has become clear in the last few years, is being caused by material and energetic non-uniformity's in anisotropic interstellar space[2,3,4]. .... This shock wave thickening has caused the formation of a collusive plasma in a parietal layer, which has led to a plasma overdraft around the Solar System, and then to its breakthrough into interplanetary domains [5,6]. This breakthrough constitutes a kind of matter and energy donation made by interplanetary space to our Solar System.

In response to this "donation of energy/matter," we have observed a number of large scale events:

A series of large PlanetoPhysical transformations.

A change in the quality of interplanetary space in the direction of an increase in its interplanetary, and solar-planetary transmitting properties.

The appearance of new states, and activity regimes, of the Sun.

1.1 A Series of Large PlanetoPhysical Transformations.

The following processes are taking place on the distant planets of our Solar System. But they are, essentially speaking, operationally driving the whole System.

Here are examples of these events:

1.1.1 A growth of dark spots on Pluto [7].

1.1.2 Reporting of auroras on Saturn [8].

1.1.3 Reporting of Uranus and Neptune polar shifts (They are magnetically conjugate planets), and the abrupt large-scale growth of Uranus' magnetosphere intensity.

1.1.4 A change in light intensity and light spot dynamics on Neptune [9,10].

1.1.5 The doubling of the magnetic field intensity on Jupiter (based upon 1992 data), and a series of new states and processes observed on this planet as an aftermath of a series of explosions in July 1994 [caused by "Comet" SL-9] [12]. That is, a relaxation of a plasmoid train [13,14] which excited the Jovian magnetosphere, thus inducing excessive plasma generation [12] and it's release in the same manner as Solar coronal holes [15] inducing an appearance of radiation belt brightening in decimeter band (13.2 and 36 cm), and the appearance of large auroral anomalies and a change of the Jupiter - Io system of currents [12, 14].

2.1 The Geomagnetic Field Inversion.

Keeping clearly in mind the known significant role of the magnetic field on human life, and all biological processes, we will outline the general features of this changing state of the Earth's geomagnetic field. We have to remind ourselves of the many spacecraft and satellites that have registered the growth of heliospheric magnetic saturation in recent years [11,18,35]. The natural response of the Earth to this increased saturation level reveals itself in its dipole intensity, its magnet "c" poles localization, and in its electromagnetic field resonance processes[36]. Earth is number one among all of the planets in the Solar System with respect to its specific ability regarding the magnetization of matter [6].

b]The increasing and immense amounts of matter and energy radiating from the Sun's Solar Wind, and Interplanetary Space, by means previously discussed, has began to rush into these widened slots in the polar regions causing the Earth's crust, the oceans, and the polar ice caps to warm....

These processes, for the most part, manifest themselves in the hard-to-register, and observe, qualities of the Earth's electromagnetic skeleton. This data also concerns the geophysical and climatic meanings of Solar-terrestrial and planetary-terrestrial interactions. ....

This article continues...(I hope I don't get into trouble for lots of extract posting =( but people asked me to prove it, so I'm proving it...), but I think people get the gist.

Continued Below!!

What this russian Scientist is telling us, which has been substantiated by NASA, the ESA, and others, is that our heliosphere currently is travelling through a highly charged and magnetic interstellar gas cloud that is adversly pressurizing our solar system, affecting everything including the sun.

It is what will cause Solar Cycle 24 to act beyond what is speculated, as this interstellar cloud continues to adversly affect our tiny little system.

the National Academies of Science offers some reading materials on upcomming studies, one of them that they stated was of utmost importance is thier understanding of the Sun to Earth interactiveness of Solar wind vs. magnetosphere. They states that they don't know much about this all important topic. SEE

The Sun to the Earth -- and Beyond: Panel Reports

Honestly, to discount the sun's influence on Earth's magnetosphere in a manner consistant with my post and my research at this point is truly premature - so without any further adieu - I provided my defense - ho about the critics now debunk this report with factual links of thier own...


I repeat...

Can the debunkers please provide links of factual proof to support thier counter measures

Thanks in advance!

It is up to you to defend your position when questions are asked, not for the questioners to defend their questions. Instead you avoid the questions by resorting to what I call the shotgun defense. You start throwing stuff up hoping something might make sense. The trouble is, what you are throwing doesn't have much to do with what you originally talked about.

"Planetophysical state"? What's that? Seems like "Dr. Dmitiriev" is the only one who has ever used that term. I would be interested in knowing if the paper was peer reviewed (and how accurate the translation is) but when he talks about geomagnetic reversals he says this:

We must emphasize that this documented polar shift acceleration (3 km per year average over 10 years), and its travel along the geo-historic magnetic poles inversion corridor (the corridor having been established by the analysis of more than 400 paleoinversion sites) necessarily leads us to the conclusion that the currently observed polar travel acceleration is not just a shift or digression from the norm, but is in fact an inversion of the magnetic poles; in full process.

www.tmgnow.com...

So, contrary to your assessment that magnetic reversals are caused by CMEs, Dmitriev doesn't talk about causes but postulates that we are in the throes of a reversal as we speak (the paper was supposedly written in 1997). According to him, the reversal began 125 years ago. He does not address the proximate cause of the reversal, he just adds it to his list of changes. He also says this:

As a whole, all of the reporting and observation facilities give evidence to a growth in the velocity, quality, quantity, and energetic power of our Solar System's Heliospheric processes.

The problem is, Solar activity has been more or less declining since 1997 and, as we know, the Sun has been very quiet for quite some time. So his ideas about the effects of the interstellar dust cloud do not seem to be holding up very well.


You've made the claim that sudden geomagnetic reversals and crustal displacements are caused by CMEs. You've made the claim that you apparently expect Solar Cycle 24 will be the most intense cycle in 780,000 years (since that was when the last geomagnetic reversal occurred, unless of course it was caused by something else).

Yes, CMEs occur. Yes, CMEs affect the magnetosphere. You have provided no evidence that geomagnetic reversals are induced by CMEs. You have provided no evidence that geomagnetic reversals cause crustal displacement. You have provided no evidence that the next solar maximum will be particularly intense.

Yeah I don't understand how they can be sure that it's going to be an hell of a storm since the data of 2010/2009 tends to tell the opposite.

If you want to try and correlate CME's and earthquakes, you will want to make sure that you account for the Big Ones first. That would be the Haiti and Chile quakes this year. The Haiti quake followed the Venus/sun conjunction be less than 24 hours with no CME.

The Chile quake happened on 2/27, before the CME of 2/28. That CME was described thusly: SOLAR ERUPTIONS: The far side of the sun is alive with activity. On Feb. 28th, NASA's twin STEREO spacecraft observed one and perhaps two clouds of material blasting away from a high-latitude, site not visible from Earth. So far, none of this activity appears to be Earth-directed.

That means that you have a weak case for a connection between quakes and big quakes in 2010.

The sun has been whiter...venus seems to be much brighter...the moon has been brighter than I have ever seen.

Something is going on that's for sure.
