EARTH'S WOBBLE - POLAR MOTION: Spin Axis, Magnetic Poles [3-18-08 ECB] POLAR MOTION: No change from prior weeks. There remains some apparent tendency to truncation of the spiral track on the Y Axis. Movement up and down the X Axis appears slightly easier for the Earth's crust than than movement on the Y Axis. This pattern we have been observing since the wobble "freeze" of January 2005.
[2-18-08 ECB] POLAR MOTION: The track now shows some outward expansion as one would expect.
[2-11-08 ECB] POLAR MOTION: Polar Motion apparently is now deviating once again from a normal track. What has been a smooth outward expansion since March 2006 is now apparently too truncated to be called an expansionary spiral. It is "retarded" and parallels far too closely the spiral track of 14 months ago. It should be showing progressive enlargement, but this is no longer evident. There are two possible explanations. One is that this Seven Year Wobble Cycle will be smaller than normal (which happens frequently). Another possible explanation is that the Wobble is merely showing us that significant drift in the average location of the center of the wobble has been and is still underway, such that the spiral center is now drifting towards the left bottom of the chart (down towards about Longitude West 70-80). This the Wobble has also done before. A third possibility is that both factors are in play. Stay tuned, the Wobble continues to be more dynamic than anyone previously imagined.
[1-28-08 ECB] POLAR MOTION: As reported January 27 in the "Pivot Point" Bulletin (see Yahoo Archives), the Earth was apparently at tectonic standstill on Saturday/Sunday (almost 0 seismic activity 4+, ultra-low activity in the range of 2.5-4)) while the Earth's tilted axis orientation (fixed on Polaris) began to recede from the orbital Perihelion point and thus begin the shift of the orientations of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres toward the Sun. Otherwise, no significant change from previous reports. The Spiral Track of Earth's Wobble continues to expand outward in a stable pattern. As can be expected (by looking at the history of the Wobble Track), the Earth's Wobble is currently receiving a boost of energy from the Earth's Perihelion moment with the Sun. Since the Earth is closer to the Sun at this moment, solar gravity is tugging in phase slightly more strongly on the heavy side of the Earth (the Southern Hemisphere). As a result the track of Polar Motion is now clearly showing a marked acceleration in the outward, expansionary movement of its spiral track. This is all normal. The Spin Axis is currently located in the longitude quadrant of the Russian Far East moving rapidly towards Alaska..
[11-12-07 ECB] WOBBLE TRACKER SOFTWARE IMPROVED. Davis Chapman graciously upgraded the WobbleTracker Software in a way which makes it easier to use and more analytically powerful for plotting exact date sequences. Anyone who has previously purchased WobbleTracker is eligible for an upgrade which I will email as a zip file.

Composed fresh for the revised edition of the Return of the Phoenix, a new expanded chart shows the track of Earth's Wobble up and down the Greenwich Meridian (called the X Axis of polar motion by geophysicists) for the period 1890-2006.

[3-17-08 ECB] Continue to expect the unexpected. Chaotic patterns still rule widely but most patterns are "settling" into moderation. The Spring Equinox, however, it likely to be fairly stormy.
The Ocean Climate Regimes (relative to averages)
LA NINA [3-17-08 ECB] Still dissolving and now nearly gone. The Equatorial Pacific is still warming slowly on the western side but the eastern side along Peru is warming rapidly. Thus La Nina, as predicted hear for many months, may be replaced by a sudden onset of El Nino, even as early as this April (late in the month) or May. The potential for this easily can be seen in the current progressive firming up of much warmer than normal sea surface temperature off the coast of Ecuador..
NORTH ATLANTIC OSCILLATION [2-17-08 ECB] Appears to be about the same as prior weeks. Weakly present, not strong, still dissapating. . NORTH PACIFIC GYRE HOTSPOT [2-17-08 ECB] The North Pacific Gyre Hotspot is waning.
The weather pattern for Spring 2008 will likely be fairly moderate, not seriously influenced by the ocean climate regimes. But weather averages will be pushed slightly to the higher latitudes to reflect the Global Warming effect.
EL NINO (forming up???) [3-10-08 ECB] PREDICTION FOR THE NEXT EL NINO: It will onset quickly directly out of La Nina and it MAY be one of the strongest of record. It also probably will be a longer than normal El Nino. This is based purely on the higher than ever tempo of earthquake and volcanic activity around the world during 2006 and 2007. The increased heat flux from the East Pacific Rift will eventually make its way to the surface and produce the typical El Nino hot Equator.

GLOBAL WARMING SYNDROME: Far more probable than not, the first half of 2007 has brought a serious surge of heat through the Great Rifts in the bottom of the oceans. It is likely that this is still continuing and it may continue throughout 2008. The telling sign is the spurt of Great Rift quakes which come and go in waves. These all indicate movements which marine geologists are nearly certain indicate extensive magma dikes and lava flows in or very close to the Great Rift Valleys. This activity during the first half of 2007 likely will feed a new round of heat into the oceanic climate system during the next 36 months and thus over-all Global Warming will continue to surge upwards. This pattern, as of January 08, may still be underway.
The increased heat energy in the climate system along the broad middle of the Earth ( from the tropics which supplies the juice which powers the air conditioner of your weather) is causing the flow of air more rapidly in greater volumes into the north and south out of the Equatorial zone. Warm air travels further to the North (or South) and pushes increased cold air to flow out of the polar zones (your cooling coils). The more Global Warming, the more intense and stormy will be both Winter and Summer, the Winter cooler, the Summer hotter, with more power in all storms. The primary consistent barometer of all of this: the melting of the Arctic Ice.
SOURCE: NOAA The key to dynamic change is the bottom graph which displays the "out of average" readings. This allows us to quickly spot the extremes which are forming up in the various oceanic climate regimes. It is a lot cheaper and easier than using supercomputers.

EARTHQUAKES CURRENT: [3-17-08 ECB] After a brief and quite mild surge in activity for Class 4+ quakes on March 15 and 16 (for the Perigee and Extreme Northern Declination), earthquake activity Class 4+ at the current time has fallen a little below average. This is likely to hold for a few days until the Moon cycles into Full Moon Syzygy on March 21/22. Look thus for a lulling at this moment and an increase beginning about March 20 and lasting with up and down through to about March 24.

SHAPESHIFTING: ACTIVITY LAST YEAR WAS VERY HIGH. Shape-shifter
quakes indicate the spreading of the Rift Valley, the creation of new crust
through magma dikes which fills in the cracks of the Great Rift, and hence
the inevitable forcing of the Earth’s crust to change its shape to adjust for
the new crust. Most subduction zone
quakes (such as in the Pacific Rim of Fire) probably occur as a consequence of
the shape-shifting of the Earth.
