An account

Prior to a full Moon the moon reaches the sky before the sunset and, reflecting the ruddy light of the setting sun, makes the whole sky slightly redder. Just after a full moon, when sunset precedes moonrise, the moon is no longer there to reflect the pinkish tint, so twilight turns bluer. It was noted the shifts in the Ocean’s color each twilight consistently it is reflecting the sky’s colors corals spawned during twilights of radiant blue: the third and fourth nights after a full moon between 9.20PM and 9.50PM Like sea urchins the elkhorn, see color shifts through their skin, which contain photo receptors, not sure why they prefer blue hues to red. Its’ of course, not uncommon in the Visakhapatnam coastal region during the period just after the twilight in subdued light conditions the flying of certain type of small birds, which probably feed on the miniature creatures that float over the 50 to 100 meters height along the sea shore.

On 19th June 2011 at 18h24mPM the author is able to capture the Bluer twilight in spite that the upper atmosphere is endowed with gray clouds. What has been surmised is that the lower bluer reflections are very dominant and the upper gray clouds have been camouflaged by the blue hues produced by the Moonshine on the Earth’s upper atmosphere. But on the horizon and on the sea waters the Gray hue of the hidden powerful gray upper atmosphere clouds may be noted. On 21st June around 18h04mPM the Gray clouds have dominated the coastal beach scenario. The powerful has also made the sea waters to have the same type of the grayish blue hue. On the 28th June 2011 also these floating clustered gray clouds may be seen producing bizarre reflection of the Sun reflections. Note the intense brightness that indicates the production of X-rays and other rays such as Microwaves. The spectral image captured shows the Violet and the deep blue hue features of the clouds. The transition color spectra profiles of the setting Sun between 18h10mPM to 18h16mPM in the clouds and the predominant Yellow hue splash seems to be very significant. The cloud, passing over the middle portion of the setting Sun, shows the splendid Yellow color splash around them. The Images of spectra obtained even on the 30th June 2011 remarkably show the Yellow hue dominance of the clouds that are passing over the Sun during the midday as well.

The set of six profiles presented of the spectrum of sun light to several orders of dispersion, are obtained using the deep yellow, sky blue, Orange, Light Yellow, Green and the Deep Blue filters respectively. Deep Yellow and surprisingly the Green filters show the Yellow brilliance of the Sun. Deep Blue filter shows no Yellow predominance at all. Green filter shows in the first order spectrum the predominance of the Green hue indicating that the oxygen and its related constituents are present in the cloud. The transition absorption features may be noted in almost all the first order spectra obtained and in several of the overlapping color hues of the spectra.

Control over the Sea Coast Mineral Wealth Exploration:

It’s very interesting to note that the Indian Government may soon acquire the control over about 350 nautical lines of the coast for Mineral and other wealth of the Indian Sea, Bay of Bengal and the Arabian seas. But whether the Indian expertise has reached the levels of the sophistication, management and the domestic utility of this wealth seems to be redressed with immediate concern and seriousness. Since the Multi National Companies have very succinctly entered the Indian production, manufacture, resource export and the like. Soon the International Ocean Depth Propriety Society of the Sea bed authority at Geneva is to confirm these rights. This exploration would certainly alter the weather scenario at the Indian Coast. Almost 26 private parties have already dug the 7km to 22kms have exploited Illimenite, Rutile, Silimenite, Zircon, Monzite , oil and natural gases. The Global demand and export of the fine resources needs to be scrupulously evaluated.

On the 28th June 2011 also these floating clustered gray clouds may be seen producing bizarre reflection of the Sun reflections.

The transition absorption features may be noted in almost all the first order spectra obtained and in several of the overlapping color hues of the spectra. This is an important and significant finding.

FINDINGS and CONCLUSIONS:

The most surprising thing is that the in the second fortnight of June 2011 the Visakhapatnam experienced a maximum temperature of 36 degs to 38.5degs C. There were no rains during this fortnight. These are explicitly stated and elaborated in the image analysis and intensity profiles of spectral features listed in the Figs.1-13 given above. The images were obtained by the author using his personal IXUS130 Canon digital Camera.

ABSTRACT:
The solar flare with CME has produced a wide variety of effects on both the terrestrial and the biosphere environments. On 8th June 2011 the Sun setting exhibited brilliant Yellow Airglow that was image captured by the author at 18h07mPM.On 7th June 2011 at around 7h53mPM the gravity waves were detected and recorded. Double jet Lilly on the 2nd June 2011 gave a pleasant surprise of Bio-bloom of flowering. The cloud clusters inspite of the moisture content in the sky haven’t brought any heavy rain in Visakhapatnam solely due to the fact of the careless and unscientific method of development works and complex constructions that have been engineered and executed without the Greenery maintained.

INTRODUCTION: 

Unhindered Grayish Deep Blue sky has been the weather scenario in Visakhapatnam in spite of the Warmth of the Sun since 1st June 2011.The sudden growth of the typical plants and flowers, though seasonal, has surprised by some peculiarities of their growth and abundance. For about three days of a lull in the cloudy weather. The Monsoon clouds have given a different glimpse during the 6th to 9th June 2011. Only on the 12th evening 2011 the rains have splashed at the Beach coast of Visakhapatnam though the monsoon brought rains in coastal Andhra Pradesh in other districts crossing at some places the average rain fall.

SUDDEN SPURT OF CHANGE IN WEATHER:

What surprised many a people were the sudden guest of swirling and uplifting wind that has tripped the long container vehicles sideways. It lasted for about a half hours at 4.30PM on June 10th 2011 at purushotham check post of Andhra Orissa state border near the city of Itchapuram of Srikakulum district. It is reported that the Monsoon arrival has stalled at Nellore for about 6days from 2nd June 2011 and moved on Tuesday 7th, but only to stop again on the Wednesday 8th and Thursday 9th, 2011. On June 9th, 2011 at kuppalopadu of district Bimilli and the village kallivaripallem a lightning stroke struck on a paddy crop heap instantly killing the people who took shelter in it. Topsoil contaminated by the radioactive fallout of the Fukushima, Nuclear Power plant, in Japan is creating a 20% excess radiation damage among the school children. The very low level irradiation has its definite affects reflected in the present authors’ personal opinion at the Visakhapatnam beach coast sky line. The combined complex effects of the sudden solar flash on  June 7th, 2011 from the complex sun spots of 1266-1227 that occurred at 1h41AM ET (06h41mUT) has also influenced the weather scenario at Visakhapatnam. Mahaboobnagar district Vanaparthi town witnessed a golden ring round the Sun around 2.00PM afternoon on the Tuesday 14th June 2011.This almost a week after the Solar Sunspot complex 1226-1227 blast of CME. The solar splash at 1h41AM ET (06h41mUT) occupied a size of the half Sun on the 7th June 2011 as per a NASA report. 

EARTHQUAKES:

The Newzeland has experienced two earthquakes of magnitude 5.2R and 6.1R within an hour near the Christchurch region. This has made the movement of Monsoon clouds from the west to east in Visakhapatnam on the 13th June 2011 at around 10.30PM. But the actual Monsoon has not yet arrived in

the coastal districts and Telangana region. The glimpse of the Moon around 20h02mPM gave a chance to capture the Moon shine spectrum. This profile has been presented in the Fig.3. The U.S. Geological Survey says a magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck near New Zealand's Kermadec Islands According to the USGS, the quake struck at 21:17:00 UTC on Saturday, which is 9:17 a.m. Sunday morning local time. The earthquake hit Christchurch, on the country’s south island, just before 1 p.m.  The epicenter of the quake was 12 miles below the mostly uninhabited islands, which are approximately 620 miles east of New Zealand's capital city of Auckland. Meanwhile, a magnitude 3.6 quake rolled across the San Francisco Bay Area at 7:05 p.m. local time on Saturday. Also on Saturday, scientists from the Icelandic Meteorological Office confirmed that an eruption began in the Grímsvötn volcano at approximately 17:30 UTC. The eruption produced minor seismic activity in the region and on the eruption plume that had risen to an altitude of over 65,000 ft. a short time later. Radio evangelist Harold Camping had predicted that 'Rapture' would begin on Saturday, May 21, 2011 with an earthquake in New Zealand.

LOW DEPRESSION:

It is noteworthy that the low depression that formed on Tuesday 14^th June 2011near the Orissa coast has its effects extending from Chattisghad to South Tamil Nadu. Due to this from Monday morning to Tuesday morning it rained in Beemilli and Itchapuram 5 cm. Kalingapatnam, Kakinada, Parvathipuram, Ranastalam, Amalapurm, Palasa, Tekkali, Chodavaram, Pathapatnam it rained 4cms. While Visakhapatnam, Saloor, Tuni, Pattipadu, Chipurpalli, Mandasa, Adilabad received 3cms rain.Anakapalli, Araku, Yellamanchalli, Paderu, Bobbilli, Therlam, Peddapuram, Polavaram, Sompeta, Veeraghattam, it rained 2cms.

Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcano Erruption:

Melbourne Australia report that Chile Puyehue volcano eruption of Ash and Debris has engulfed the southern Australia sky with gray colored clouds and the local strong winds have total disrupted Air traffic. Via the Pacific Ocean the Ash clouds have covered the skies of New Zealand and Australia.

The steam hangs above the Nilahue River in Chile as a strange phenomenon with by a huge surge in temperature ranging from 6degs to 45degs has been caused by hot ash and rocks being spewed from the Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcano. Earlier on Thursday 9^thJune 2011, the cloud dipped as low as 10,000 feet (3,048 metres) temporarily forcing the closure of South Island airports, including New Zealand's second largest city, Christchurch and tourist destination Queenstown. The cloud, which has travelled some 10,000 kms (6,000 miles) across the Atlantic and Indian oceans, however the situation within Australia was more positive. Air New Zealand and other carriers avoided the fine ash particles, which pose a danger to aircraft engines and bodies, by flying below 20,000 feet or around the cloud. The ash started out as rhyo-dacitic (fragments of pumice) but may be including more andesitic (fragments of scoria) particles recently. The time ash reaches us just the extremely fine flour-sized grains of volcanic glass are left. Whether these grains are from pumice or scoria doesn't make a lot of difference to jet engines. This is an excellent opportunity to look at the impacts from local volcanic ash to agriculture, infrastructure and people's homes and work. Eruptions from Ruapehu, Tongariro and perhaps Taranaki could give us mm to cm of ash to deal with, much like the San Carlos de Bariloche area in Argentina is coping with right now.

IMAGES and and the Method of Analysis:

Fig 1 June 2011 weather at Visakhapatnam

The solar flare with CME has produced a wide variety of effects on both the terrestrial and the biosphere environments. On 8^th June 2011 the Sun setting exhibited brilliant Yellow Airglow that was image captured by the authorat 18h07mPM.On 7^th June 2011 at around 7h53mPM the gravity waves were detected and recorded. Double jet Lilly on the 2^nd June 2011 gave a pleasant surprise of Bio-bloom of flowering.

Fig 2 June 2011 weather effects at Visakhapatnam

The Grayish-deep blue sky panoramic view on the 12^th June 2011 at 18h07mPM was perhaps mingled with ash from a distant volcano of extremely fine particulate matter that are in the authors conjecture extremely sensitive to the Ultra-Violet and the Microwave initiated X irradiance. The gene mutations have definitely occurred due to the Solar flare phenomenon of strange happening at very specific localities and with intense effects of unknown character.

Fig 3 June 2011 weather effects at Visakhapatnam

The cloud clusters mingled with a variety of debris of the upper atmosphere on the Earth does indeed have shown its richness of gray matter of the sky on the 13^th June 2011 at around 22h20mPM. I repeat that these cloud clusters inspite of the moisture content in the sky haven’t brought any heavy rain in Visakhapatnam solely due to the fact of the careless and unscientific method of development works and complex constructions that have been engineered and executed without the Greenery maintained.

Fig 4 June 2011 weather effects at Visakhapatnam

This figure records the author’s findings regarding the spectral intensity distribution and the absorption characteristics of the environmental atmosphere at Visakhapatnam.

Fig 5 June 2011 weather effects at Visakhapatnam

Transition regions of the Green, Yellow, Orange and the Red dispersions of the 1^st order spectrum of 15^th June 2011 showed certain spectral term absorption peaks.

This figure has brought out clearly the absorption peak features of the atmosphere in the transition regions of deep blue-green and as well the green-yellow-orange-red regions of the color intensity profiles. The use of certain filters has enabled the author to locate the airglow rings around the Full Moon on the 15^th June 2011 around 23hPM and their spectral intensity profiles are given.

The sequence of colored filters images captured by the author in the moments prior to the total eclipse of the Moon and the diffraction air-glow rings have been obtained with clarity.

Fig.9 Eclipse Full Moon 15th June 2011 images captured KLN

The sequence of Blue, Sky Blue, Green Orange, deep yellow filters images captured by the author in the moments prior to the total eclipse of the Moon and the diffraction air-glow rings that have been obtained with clarity. Direct Moon images in the clouds have not given the crystalline structure due to the fact that the debris in the atmosphere has certainly diffused the characteristics of the clouds.

Fig 10 Full Moon eclipse spectra intensity profiles KLN

Intensity profiles of the Full Moon prior to the total eclipse have been one of a fascination and have given rich dividend on the nature of the particulate matter of the sky.

Fig.11 Eclipse 15th June 2011 Full Moon spectra KLN

The total eclipse observed at Rajahmundry, Visakhapatnam and reported in the eenadu newspaper has been one of the enchanting experiences well documented by the photographers. The sparkling lightning of the volcano eruptions ash clouds, and the mud-like thick ash material collected by a person are very painful in view of the disaster due to the eruption.

The set of six intensity profiles of the Air-Glow rings around the Moon has been analyzed with a view to ascertain the crossing over behavior of the different spectral features.

Fig.13 Deep Yellow filter Full Moon Eclipse Plasma Sphere 15th June 2011 at 23h03mPM

The deep yellow filter intensity profile of the Moon would be of a great interest due to the similar Yellow spectral feature of the Sun spectrum obtained on the very day of the total lunar eclipse of 15^th June 2011.

FINDINGS and CONCLUSIONS:

These are explicitly stated and elaborated in the image analysis and intensity profiles of spectral features listed in the Figs.1-13 given above. The images were obtained by the author using his personal IXUS130 Canon digital Camera.

INTRODUCTION

This particular floating plant is according to the information gathered is an attractive with bluish flowers, with a stem and horn and were found in South America. Many tourists during the 19th Century without knowing its potential collected almost from eighty countries, it appears and put them in water ponds.

Ten Such plants can accord the information, multiply to 600,000 covering an acre of water within 8 to 10 months. Hyacinth can be cultivated treating waste water and remove all the pollutants and make the water pure.

It was observed that Nitrates, Phosphates and Potassium which are common water pollutants can be absorbed by these plant leaves leaving the water pure. The Hyacinth also was found to absorb Toxic wastes, pesticides and heavy metals. Harvesting the Hyacinth will provide cleaner water.

Some scientists in India have found that aquatic weeds can remove Toxic Heavy metals and Organic wastes from polluted water. Experiments showed that weeds like Water Hyacinth could remove up to 75% of Zinc, 62% of Cadmium and Chromium, 72% of Copper and 59% of Nickel in anything around 48 hours at 100 ppm concentration. The figures mentioned could be approximate, but close to them.

On 30th MAY THE HINDU published an article, by Shri BVS BHASKAR AS “WATER HYACINTH CHOKES KONASEEMA DRAINS”. There is a mention of the name of an Environment specialist one Shri. SARMA. It is saddening to note such statements. It is a challenge for the scientists to solve such problems and not blame the plants. After the British left it is the duty of every scientist and the government to solve the obstruction problems.

The real R & D effort necessary:

Sincere scientists should come forward from the Indian Universities and other R&D Institutions and do more research on this, as India has many water ponds, almost in most of the rural areas and Industrial WATER EFFLUENTS and also such purification might even help in not letting the ponds go dry, which of course is a wishful thinking, but a sincere effort of research on this could provide us with good and useful information and thus provide the country with clean water for various purposes. It would save a lot of money for the country if the real R & D effort is made. I am only an Engineer, but Research at the appropriate stations with appropriate Technology could certainly prove useful to a country like India.

It is Imperative that a country like India struggling at every stage for oil and gas, throwing the burden on the people of the country has to do a lot of capacity building regarding various Research efforts, Scientific Developments and use of Technology. Most of the universities in India spend a lot of money in the name of research, but nothing comes out to reach or help the common man or woman and that is of practical use.

The only attempt to our knowledge, regarding the real practical use of the exuberant growth water weed viz., Hyacinth was that made by the Kolhapur Municipality in the State of Maharashtra. The Municipal authority sold of the weed to a private entrepreneur party of environmentalists, who have used very big thick and strong ropes and the iron grill nets to pull away the weed that has occupied almost an area of about three fourths of a square mile extent on the surface of the famous Rankala Lake(erstwhile lake of the Temple of Goddess Maha Lakshmi) in Kolhapur city. The party concerned dried the pulled out weed on the open fields during the summer months and later used strong mechanical crushers to chip of the leaves, stems, roots and etc portions of the Hyacinth weed mass. Later they powdered it the dried material and packed it neatly to market it away. The powder has found many an application in the form of fertilizers (compost preparations), as a fodder for buffaloes and as a raw material for the agricultural land mud mixing beds for different types of crops growth. The R & D effort of course is missing since they the entrepreneur party looked it only as a commercial market product.

Buying Technology?

But somehow, it looks as though Indian Industry, Government and all other like Institutions prefer to buy Technology to clean water from other countries, rather than to take a jump into such a research. Clean environment and removing Pollution could be only a myth in India.

Actually the weed Water Hyacinth is considered in our country as that clogs the waterways and interferes with Agriculture, forgetting its valuable ability as a pollutant filter.

The long trailing roots of the plant absorb dangerous insecticides, phenols and phosphates and many other metals as already mentioned.

BIO GAS

It appears that The NASA (The National Aeronautical and space Administration) of the USA is trying out ways and means to make practical use of this plant. It has also been shown through studies at National Space Technology laboratories in USA that Hyacinth can be decomposed or fermented to obtain ‘ BIO GAS’ A FUEL SIMILAR TO NATURAL GAS.

Feedback:

The author invites a feedback on this article for concerned R & D effort proposals to be examined and pursued for project promotion. Home plant growths on waste water in the multi-storied complex premises and buildings may be a suggestion to be examined.
