Quake Watch 2011

That represents the sub-solar point. If you watch throughout the day it will move as the earth rotates and brings a different part "under" the sun...



I am more interested in the anomalous "hot spot" in India...

reply to post by jadedANDcynical


Oops.......my bad.

I guess ignorance is NOT bliss on ATS. Thank you for the correction.

However the blip in India is a little concerning!

reply to post by radpetey


Here we see that the spot over India has cooled off:



It is still a bit higher than the ambient for it's surrounding area, but it is no longer much higher than it's surroundings.

Oddness for certain. Be interesting to see if this occurs again.

the sooner it gets over NZ the better

when it showed the purple patch over NZ at 1640 UTC it was only 3 Celcius here (heaters on)

I'll check back on that link around Noon NZDT, hopefully we'll get a bit of the green edge over us at least

And now there is a spot (let's not call it hot please as this has nothing to do with heat as such) in South America.



But has anyone noticed that this electron content is remaining high and only dissipating slowly right over the area of the Jujuy earthquakes. Coincidence?

ETA: No quakes in India. One coming perhaps?

Look what is hanging around where the high electron content is remaining.



Coincidence?

Puterman - we know the moon as an effect on the ionosphere.. are you saying those images are showing that effect (in laymans terms please - it's Sunday, it's Bathurst race and I've had a beer or two ) or that that effect can be used to predict quakes.. isn't that what Twinsat is off to do?

reply to post by PuterMan


probably just coincidence.
Wheres the residual high TECU (whatever that is) over the Kermadec Islands? (same size quake as Jujuy) and over Tonga 5.9 which are more recent?.
The latest image at 3:10UTC the residual red spot north into Brazil

No, it was late and I was just thinking out loud. It is probably as muzzy says just coincidence as most things are.

Deflation at Katla today. Must be the wind and rain. Incessant it is here for days and days now. I wish Texas would come and collect some of it.

Bet this was a bit unsettling for MoorfNZ, Aoraki and Co. last night, just when things seemed to be settling down to just one or two Mag 2's a day

MM8- Heavily Damaging at Kaiapoi www.geonet.org.nz...

USGS had it at 4.7mb, 4.9ML

Well I think it is time I put the program out there again seeing as it has taken me 2 years nearly to fiddle about with it. There is still more to do but if you want to try it you can download it from the QVS Web site

My apologies to Linux and Mac users, this is only for Windows but maybe one day I can afford to get it converted to Java so it will run on anything. Linux users can run it in WINE but I have no idea if Mac users can run Windows programs I am afraid.

Oh yes, it downloads USGS, EMSC and GeoNet data. It has access to all the real-time seismos and LISS stations and of course can create the sound files if you have the SAC data.

It is free and beta and probably wobbly but let me know any problems. The alerts module currently can only be run from the program directory, basically because it is only used when the service is running. I will set up the means to install it from inside the data centre later.

Help pages are slowly becoming available. qvsdata.wordpress.com...

If you are using dial up do NOT install the services. You need a 1048 screen by the way. You can just about see it on 800 wide but it is not good and not designed for that small a resolution.

Don't know if this has already been reported, but UK keeps dipping its toe in the foray

PuterMan....WAKE UP!
What's you opinion of what's happening at El Hierro?
earthquake-report.com...

Apparently the 4.4 yesterday triggered a few landslides which took out a couple of roads, on land I hasten to add, unless of course they haven't located any out at sea as of yet.
It would seem that Erik Klementi et all over at eruptions (he has moved site and his new blogg is a horrible site to navigate) are keeping an eye as I type this.

That looks like HT. Has it erupted?

Mm, not looking so like HT in the spectrum view

=================

Lots of crashes if you try and use the help in the QVS Data program. Most fixed now along with the illegible service status.
