EARTH'S WOBBLE - POLAR MOTION: Spin Axis, Magnetic Poles [4-21-08 ECB] POLAR MOTION: No new news.
[4-7-08 ECB] POLAR MOTION: Again, 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. For additional details go to Wobble Almanac. WORLD & REGIONAL WEATHER: Storm Fronts, Hurricanes, El Nino & La Nina, Drought & Fire, Global Warming SUMMARY ASSESSMENT
[4-21-08 ECB] Conditions will more continue to moderate for the next two weeks. The weather pattern for mid 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. The next stormy period should peak about May 10 or so and persist for about a week. This will be far surpassed by a major storm surge which will effect all continents during most of June, which will bring major rain storms and flooding in the areas which typically see floods during this time of year.
The Ocean Climate Regimes (relative to averages)
LA NINA [4-21-08 ECB] La Nina is now virtually gone.
NORTH ATLANTIC OSCILLATION [4-7-08 ECB] Going and now nearly gone. . NORTH PACIFIC GYRE HOTSPOT [4-21-08 ECB] Continuing - the North Pacific Gyre Hotspot has intensified the last few weeks. This looks to be a major climate determiner for 2008.
EL NINO (forming up???) Slowly???
[4-21-08 ECB] The Equatorial Pacific is still warming slowly on the eastern side along Peru/Ecuador. REVISED PREDICTION FOR THE NEXT EL NINO: It will onset during the second half of this year and MAY become 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.

HURRICANES
[4-7-08] NEW HURRICANE FORECAST FOR 2008 BY WILLIAM GRAY. Gray's predictions call for an increase over 2007, 13 named storms in the Atlantic up from 9 in 2007. It might be a little early in the Solar Cycle for this many storms. Definitely, however, magnitudes will be higher for some of the storms. I will supplement Gray's predictions after I study the planetary alignments for the remainder of 2008.
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) -
Hurricane forecaster William Gray called Friday for seven Atlantic
hurricanes, three of them major, during the 2008 season.

EARTHQUAKES CURRENT:
VERY INTERESTING PATTERNS ARE SHOWN IN TODAY'S IRIS SEISMIC MONITOR CHART. BE SURE TO CLICK UP TO THE FULL SIZE OF THIS CHART TO SEE THE PATTERNS DISCUSSED BELOW. [4-21-08 ECB] Earthquake activity Class 4+ at the current time is running a little above average. A surge of activity materialized about April 18/19, during a purely "out of phase" moment of the lunar cycles. A few Class 6+ quakes suddenly appeared but the disappeared again April 20/21. Since the Moon was waxing for its Full Moon on April 20/21, this early activity may be purely full mooner and the activity may pick up again at any moment until the appearance of the Extreme South Declination of April 24-26.
[4-21-08 ECB] Despite the lack of dramatically large magnitude events, the pattern of events during the past 14 days, which is shown very well by this IRIS Seismic Monitor Chart of April 21, 2008, demonstrates a synchronicity of events rarely if ever seen. Quakes are relatively a little higher than average in numbers, there are many shape-shifter quakes in the Great Rifts, notice especially the Class 5+ events in the interiors of North America, Africa, and Central Asia (I have never seen this pattern in several years of observation), and observe that the high latitudes on both ends of the Earth are hosting several shape-shifter events (Class 4+), mostly in the Great Rifts. Note as well how the area which contains the Fiji/Tonga/Loyalty Islands to the north of New Zealand is the sharpest focal point of world quake activity. These are all subduction quakes caused by the grinding of two vast tectonic plates against each other.
This pattern has emerged at very nearly the moment of Y MAX in the Earth's Wobble. Visualize the North Spin Axis as having "wobbled" down as close to Chicago as it can get on this turn of the wobble spiral. It is now about to "turn on a dime" and begin to wobble or drift away from Chicago. (Chicago is roughly on the Y Graph Axis of the Wobble). The distance is small, measured in a few meters, but the "turn moments" in the Wobble are very significant, as can be seen in the Earth Gallery (not yet available) or as can be seen in the X-Wave El Nino Correlation Graph.
The most basic truths of Plate Tectonics also can be seen in this chart. The crust of the Earth is coming together and "rumpling" the most rapidly along the Western Pacific where the Pacific Plate grinds against the vast Eurasian plate. The orientation is more or less in a north-south orientation, at a 90 degree angle to the Earth's orbit and the direction of the spinning mass, which of course is a dead give-away to the orbital force vectors which are ultimately behind the motions in the crust. During this "in between" season or phase of Earth's tilt (about equi-distant between the extremes of Summer and Winter), we can see the amount of activity is the high latitudes is more nearly balanced on both ends of the Earth than can be seen at other times.
This "snapshot" may be important for many reasons, not the least of which it may demonstrate the basic effects of axis-shifting which Cayce described some 70 years ago. Paraphrasing fairly closely, Cayce said that "upheavals in the frigid zones make for volcanic eruptions in the torrid zones" (find source by googling the key terms). On the basis of this snapshot in time, let us now test the statement during the next 30 days (a full lunar cycle) and see if volcanic activity does indeed increase.

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.

[2-4-2008] The next 90 days is likely to see less and less likelihood of major quakes. Danger zones will reappear in May and June Full or New Moon periods, and again in November and December. The other months of the year will not be highly stressful syzygies and they are less likely to produce large and/or numerous quakes.
