ABSTRACT:
The celestial event of the Partial Solar Eclipse occurrence in Visakhapatnam is a breath taking thing. It required a lot of effort in recording and documenting all the pre and the after affects of the Solar Eclipse. An attempt is made to explain the Coronal Hole of the Sun, the Solar Wind and the Geomagnetic storms effects. These have influenced the Earth’s atmosphere on the 12th January 2010 onwards.
Keywords: Annular Eclipse 2010, Visakhapatnam, Coronal Hole, Solar Winds, Geomagnetic Storm, earthquake, Haiti, Japan Snow weather, North India fog, Cloud patterns, X-rays from Sun, D-layer.
PREAMBLE:
It’s vividly evident, the after affects of the Partial Lunar Eclipse that occurred in India, have completely subsided by the date 12th January 2010 morning hours. The fogy and chilly weather has swiftly dwindled away with a remarkable suddenness of the event over just a lapse of few hours (approximately 10hours time). The weather has reeled to humid and slightly warm conditions and people felt the need of using the ceiling fans on the 12th January 2010 during the mid-day.
[The Indian Almanac predicts the Partial Solar Eclipse to occur from 11:38 AM on the (day of Kanuma festival) 15th January 2010, and has middle significant time as 1:39PM, (moksha kala as 3:20PM) and ending time as 3:42PM. This duration of the eclipse is utilized by many preachers for divine initiation for the welfare of people and acquisition of the requisite powers, essentially an invitation to spiritual atonement.]
The website http://www.ourplanet.com/ gave details of the eclipse beginning and end times at various cities in Andhra Pradesh. Broadcast relayed on TV channels don’t speak generally about the accurate times of the celestial events. Most of the presentations are very vague and not systematic and orderly. They don’t give sub-titles of the talks during the presentation. They differ from the Indian Almanac predictions by about 10 to 5 minutes asserting the fact that our Scientific predictions are not accurate enough even to the error of one minute level in these days of Nanotechnology. City of Academic Excellence namely Visakhapatnam has lost its ancient glory and has become city of destiny for exploiters.
The occurrence of the coronal hole details given at the website of spaceweather.com time machine is remarkable and very scientific. Only in Kerala, South Tamil Nadu and Southern parts of Mizoram the annular eclipse would be visible. The rest of places, only it would be partial. At its peak in Indian Ocean it would prevail for about 11minutes 8 seconds. In Male it would be 45 seconds. Shape shifting Sun Spot 1040 has grown into a behemoth 10 times bigger than the size of Earth. (Old sunspot 1035 is a member of solar cycle 24).Solar wind speed 458.9km/s density 4.0protons/cm^3. The X-ray Solar flares: 6HR max b1 0500 UT Jan13th, 2010, and 24hrs at B1 00454 UT Jan 13th, 2010. Sun spot number is 35. The Radio Sun maximum is around 93sfu. On 12th Jan 2010 the interplanetary magnetic field Btotal= 4.3 nT; Bz= 2.1nT There exist a Coronal Hole on January 13th 2010. Earth is inside a Solar wind stream, flowing from the inside Coronal Hole. (Credit to SOHO Extreme UV telescope.)
OBSERVATIONS AND SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION:
Ground observations made by common people in Visakhapatnam, on the 12th January 2010 are very interesting. They felt sweltering warmth and not a chilly fog throughout the day. One house Mrs. P. V. V. S. Sarma commented that while hanging the washed clothes on the open terrace, that she found the Sun Shine (KANTHI) somewhat different and as well bright. Also in the evening of 12th January 2010, for nearly more than an hour during 5.30 to 8.30PM, the TV Microwave transmission got disturbed.
Both these events may be explained on the basis that the Microwave Disturbance of the Solar flares reached the earth ground transmission levels and secondly the combined effect of Coronal Hole and the Sun Solar winds have resulted in the production of Intense X-radiations at the D-layer levels of the Ionosphere. Another possible explanation implies the geomagnetic whistler disturbances that travelled round the Earth.
Weather had a remarkable change. The chilly fog weather (following the occurrence of the partial Solar Eclipse in Visakhapatnam, see my earlier post on this subject matter dated:) has moved away on to the Japanese Islands from India. The Coriolis forces effect is the plausible model consideration made by me to explain the chilly fog weather of both the Northern India and the Japanese Islands with a slow movement of the fog.

The Coriolis forces effect is the plausible model consideration made by me to explain the chilly fog weather of both the Northern India and the Japanese Islands with a slow movement of the fog.
The India weather Map implies the shock wave movement of the cloud and fog band across the North-west towards the south-east direction. The band is thick in the central provinces of India as it has bordered the Himalaya Mountain slopes.
The fog weather exposed to the warm Sun and the X-ray scattered radiations of the Sun has resulted into the heavy water laden clouds that gave a nice hailstorm like shower of rain at 3:30AM in the morning of 14th January 2010. (The Day of Sankranthi Festival in India). The slight showers occurred at 6.30AM as well on the same day. The rain drop size varied from 1” to about 0.5 cm on the floor.
The Haiti region of Africa experienced a powerful earthquake of intensity 7.3R with epicentre at a depth of hardly 10km only. It was devastating quake since it struck populated area of about 30 lakh people in a town of total population of about 80lakh persons. It struck at 4:25PM local time in the evening of Tuesday (3:23AM IST Wednesday morning) a phenomenon that repeated since 200years ago.
The spectrum indicates that only Red and the Blue colours are dominant with Solar Radiation passing through the clouds. The former is the direct Solar Heat spectrum and the later is the enhanced water laden atmosphere and heavy clouds. The movement and rapid pattern changes of the clouds are evident from the Fig.c image by Nokia Classic 2700 mobile 2MP camera.
PARTIAL SOLAR ECLIPSE WITNESSED AT RK BEACH & AT
NARASIMHA ASHRAM:
The cloudy sky offered a very congenial atmosphere to observe the celestial without much strain to the naked eye. The eclipse began at 11:38 AM and grown to a 25% coverage of the SUN by about 12:10PM in the noon. From then on up to 12:30PM it became obscure behind the clouds. Luckily the misty cloud cleared somewhat and the bright sun and the partial eclipse became vividly visible. It was a field day for all the Media Mobile TV broadcast Vehicles with all their modern Media equipment have recorded live the event at the Ramakrishna Mission Beach.
NEWSPAPER CLIPS AND THE PARTIAL & ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE:
Gravity wave disturbances:
The gravity waves had a striated wave lengths extending over several metres and hence the SUN was covered by the dark striated clouds for several minutes, before it could make its appearance between the gaps of these gravity waves. Weather map of 15th January 2010 shows only a snapshot situation of the striated clouds.
The edges of these striated waves at about 14:00PM to almost 14:45PM have been lit with bright shine of the SUN, but haven’t shown the expected streams of the coloured air glows. Possibly the cloud edges could be seen only from below and hence the full panoramic of the air glow streams have been missed for observation from the ground level.
This weather published in a newspaper shows the remarkable two band systems of clouds. This is significant since lunar partial eclipse gave only one band of weather conditions as imaged by satellite observations. The second band is evidently evolved due to partial solar eclipse that engulfed most of India. The striated weather condition over Visakhapatnam is very much clear from the weather map of India. The striation is a result of compressions and expansions of the fog weather. Why it sustained as a band is not yet quite clear.
German astronomy magazine Interstellarum picked a vantage spot over a cliff in Varkala 62km north of Thiruvanathapuram of Kerala as per a newspaper report. The vantage spot advantage to observe the airglows was earlier suggested by the present author for the observation of the solar eclipse. (Refer the posted articles at the present author’s blogspot.com)
The observations made by the present author:
The observations made by the author for the entire period of the partial solar eclipse in the Visakhapatnam city has revealed a quite different view of the eclipse occurrence that drastically differs from the published images of the solar eclipse in the several local newspapers.
The author has witnessed the event during 12:10PM to 13:10PM noon at the beach opposite the Kirlampudi Layout. The Thirthapurallu have all become open and visible since the Bay of Bengal Sea was found receded away at that place by at least 50meters deep inside.
That offered a wet even land place for the author, Buddhist Ramayya and his son-in-law to sit and chat with the Buddhist. Different filters about 5 types were used to record the eclipse event. The shadow of the Moon that obstructed the view of the SUN was a like mountain peak with a sharp broadened spherical triangular apex at the top. The base of the spherical triangular projection section was about 1/10th SUN circumference. It began at about 160degrees (in the second quadrant, from the top of the SUN disk) as a small smear of the SUN, by 11:58 it increased in area at the base of the spherical (angular bent) triangle and continued to move slowly towards the third quadrant and growing in height, and ever increasing to the centre of the SUN’ disk. At 12:50 it entered the third quadrant with the apex height only to about 70% to the centre of the disk. The peak has somewhat broadened in its base at the time of 13:12 PM and by 13:20 PM noon and was shifting into the third quadrant of the disk with the height of the triangular vertex almost touching the central point of the disk.
A radiating circular red rings moving away diffracted from the tip of the apex of the Moon’s obstruction of the SUN light was observed. This was found to occur at about 12:50PM and as well at 13:30 hour’s noon. Similar phenomenon was observed later at around 14:20PM noon. But the partial eclipse almost occupied the 75% of the SUN’s disk in area. It crossed the centre of the disk around the time 13:45PM noon. The rapid enlargement of the base of the spherical triangular shape of the image on the SUN’s disk was a very didactic experience. The third quadrant didactic was totally occupied by the base around the time of 14:00 hrs noon. The height then reached the 75% of the radius of the disk around 14:20PM noon. The triangular base somewhat left the third quadrant and moved into the fourth quadrant. At 2:45PM the triangular with a conical type base obstruction of the SUN’s disk was only about 25% of the SUN’s disk area but was found totally located in the fourth quadrant.
BRIGHT SUN SHINE A UNIQUE PHENOMENON OF THE PARTIAL SOLAR ECLIPSE:
The airglow streams on the edges of the clouds were not seen. But bright shine emitted away from the cloud ice edges is very much manifest. This supports the fact that X-rays emitted from the Moon’s rocky surface of its peaks and boulders has engulfed the atmosphere producing secondary charges of various kinds that have brightened the cloud edges.
At about 14:30PM the coloured spectral reflection of the clouds was visible. This finding supports the idea that the ice crystals have scattered the radiation in a dispersive mode. This is vividly different from the airglow observations made by the present author on the earlier solar eclipse occurred during the day break hours of twilight. The scattered bright SUN light has been observed refracted by the leaves of a Coconut tree as well and the gentle wind has added to the fluttering coloured appearance dancing VIBGYOR over the leaves.
An important after affect of the occurrence of the partial solar eclipse at Visakhapatnam was the chilly evening with a pleasant breeze from the sea. It continued on the 16th January 2010 at on the day of Indian festival MUKKANUMA. The blowing wind has intensified in the night at around 22:43PM. The Sunday 17th January 2010 was also chilly but the warmth of the sun could be felt in the mid-day.
