MAY 2014 BAFFLING WEATHER
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT
Quake experienced at, Narasimha Ashram residence upstairs of
the author, at 9h55m PM on Wednesday 21 May 2014, for nearly 12 seconds,
measuring 5.8R scale, with possibly a P-wave of disturbance passed by. The
downstairs residents have not felt the quake jolt. The epicenter
was of 275km southeast of Paradip in Odisha, and tremors might have originated
40kms below seabed.May 27, 2014 the
dissolution of depression in Bay of Bengal led to continuous rains in
Srikakulum and Vijaya nagaram districts from Sunday (25th) morning
with highest rainfall in Kalingapatanam of 230mm till Monday morning.
Parvatipuram in Vijayanagaram received 110mm rainfall. Miss Malawath Purna, 13 years tribal girl student of Class
IX, in Thadwai APSWRS, from Nizamabad scaled Mount Everest on Sunday with
Indian Flag pitched at 6.00AM. On May 31, 2014 Northern and Eastern
areas gales, thunderstorms, hailstorms killed as many as 47 people in New Delhi
area. The UK Independent Party won British politics on Monday May 26, 2014
for the first in over 100 years, winning the 24 member of European Parliament
seats. On Saturday 31 May 2014, the eruption of Sangeang Api in south of
Indonesia produced large cloud of Ash cancelling flights from Australia and
Southern Asia.

INTRODUCTION
SOLAR
JET FUEL
Synthesized “solar” jet fuel developed
successfully with the entire production chain from renewable kerosene obtained
directly from sunlight, water and C02 . A method claimed to produce
any other fuel such as diesel, gasoline or pure hydrogen in a more sustainable
way. By means of a redox cycle with
metals-oxide based materials at high temperatures and Syngas produced by using
sunlight, with using carbon-monoxide and water, finally converted to kerosene
by using the commercial Fischer-Tropsch technology.
NEWER SOLAR CELL
Northwestern University researchers
developed the new solar cell that uses the “tin pervoskite” that achieved 15%
more efficiency. Photovoltaic’s solar cells thus with tin pervoskite would reenergize
the field.
INDUCTION
STOVE
On top of Induction stove a vessel made up of Ferro-magnetic metal or
steel when kept produces eddy electric current in the vessel. The resistivity
of the vessel metal produces heat energy which heats up the food. The heat
energy produced due to induction effect.
When a varying or alternate current is passed through the coil kept
below the hot plate a magnetic field is produced around it. This field
generates the eddy currents that when passes through the vessel, resistivity
produces heat energy, which in turn heats up the food.
SOLAR
POWER
BHELL sets up in YEMEN A PV-BASED POWER PLANT AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS IN
THE Gulf country. Currently a 400-MW gas turbine-based power plant is being
built in Yemen. Also SCHWING STETTER (SSI) India has set up a 100 KWP solar
plant installed in Chennai. They expect to boost it up to 600 KWP.
German Success
The German country on 11 May
2014, achieved renewable energy power by 20.5% of total electric consumption.
JACK
FRUIT
Jack fruit could be a replacement for wheat, corn and other staple crops
under threat of climate change.
EU
ban on Alphonso mangoes and WTO
Banned include colocasia (taro, eddo) Momordica (bitter gourd), Solanum
melongena (egg-plant) and Trichosanthes sp (snake gourd) along with Alphanso
mangoes by the EU since 1 May. This was challenged at the WTO.
GRAVITY RESONANCE
SPECTROSCOPY
Quintessence particles that explain the dark energy has
been disapproved by an experiment by H. Abele, Austria in a paper given in
April 2014, in Physical Review Letters. Low-energy table-top experimental
technique to probe gravity, dark energy and dark matter conducted in France
supports the idea of neutron coupling with gravity, and helps to probe, the
Axion hypothetical particle of dark matter and, the Chameleon field the source
of Dark Energy.
FOREIGN
VISITORS
Their visit to Araku
Valley, Burraha caves, Dumbriguda and Chaparai waterfalls etc. enthralled the
foreign visitors on Thursday 22 May 2014.
SILK
ROAD PLAN
China to invest billion-dollar fund for maritime
silk-road said on Monday May 25, 2014. Project aims at building ports and
infrastructure in important littoral countries in Southeast Asia and in Indian
Ocean region including Bangla Desh and Sri Lanka.
TECH
HELP
The thermogalvanic effect based new technology batteries developed at MIT
and Stanford capture waste heat and convert it into electricity. (TOI, Dt.23
May 2014, India). The system can harness even differences in temperatures of
the order 500C.
TALAPATRA
MEDICINAL VOLUME
Found at Adhanki, in Prakasam Zillaha, a Palm leaves
written Medicinal Volume, at Swarna Subba Rao residence, a priest (called
Archaka) bilingual both in Tamil and Telugu languages. It describes the
Ayurvedic Medicinal treatment of several diseases in about 390 leaves.
JAPANESE
FIND
A Japanese firm of Chemicals claims to have created a
plastic that emits a blue light when it detects radiation.
MUONIC
HYDROGEN AND PROTON RADIUS
The Muons shot
into hydrogen gas with 1% in 2S state and next a laser wavelength precisely to
correspond to energy difference of 2S and 2P states, atom will jump up in
energy then fall down to 1S state. An X-ray photon is released in the process.
The energy difference between 2S and 2P states depends on Lamb shift, and this
measurement helps detect the Proton Radius.
OBSERVATIONS
INDIAN
ROLE – ELEMENT 117
Phys. Rev. Letters
confirmed on May 1st, 2014 super-heavy element 117 existence. It
emerged when Ca-48 ions at high energies impinged on a specially prepared
target of berkelium-249 with 20 protons from Ca and 97 from Bk. The
collaboration between SINP, India and GSI Helmholtz in Germany yielded the
result. Dubna, in Russia experiments revealed four atoms of nuclei with 117
isotopes with mass number 294 earlier.
RAIN
On the 1 May 2014 also it rained but morning around 5AM. It was decorated
with splash of lightning and thunders. There was on morning of Sunday 10 May
2014 rain shower at 2.26AM to 8AM with stray one or two thunders and lightning.
The days from 1 May to late night 9 May the heat wave sustained at
Visakhapatnam.

EARTHQUAKE
UNUSUAL AT PARADIP
Quake experienced at, Narasimha Ashram residence upstairs of the author,
at 9h55m PM on Wednesday 21 May 2014, for nearly 12 seconds, measuring 5.8R
scale, with possibly a P-wave of disturbance passed by. The downstairs
residents have not felt the quake jolt. The Earthquake that took place about
40Km down the Earth, in the sea in Paradip Odisha state.
The epicenter was of 275km southeast of Paradip in Odisha, and tremors
might have originated 40kms below seabed. The Quake epicenter is baffling the
experts since the origin in North Bay of Bengal is unusual. Nearly 6km of depth
thick sediment deposits of river flows exists. What made the Earthquake tremors
felt from Madras to Delhi?

On Thursday 22 the waves in the sea have become furious and
the milky-white waves were a great attraction to the on lookers till late
evening. In my opinion the Earthquake
disturbances moved away from their origin sideways along the coast since the
6kms thick sediment prevented the upward thrust of the quake direct at 275kms
southeast of Paradip in Odisha state. The quake effect was felt all along the
East Coast up to Bhubhaneswar and parts of Jharkhand. The quake resulted in upsurge of
water in Visakhapatnam on Thursday till evening time. The waves appeared as
milky-surf and extended in the beach coast an unusual sight for the beach
visitors.

Quake revives fears of nuke plant
safety in Kovvada of Ranasthalam in Srikakulam district. A lady spokeswoman
ruled the entire Andhra Coastal region as unsafe for nuke plants. The nuclear power
plant region experienced for 14 sec (the longest period) on Wednesday. A Professor
at Centre for Studies on Bay of Bengal from AU asserts that north coastal
region is relatively safe zone for the location of Nuclear Plant.
28 May 2014 Wednesday
A moderate
intensity quake rocked the Indo-Myanmar border in Manipur early on Wednesday in
which several states in the northeast region of India also felt the tremor. An earthquake
of magnitude 4.6R and having its epicenter in Myanmar along the Indo-Myanmar border
in Manipur rocked the area at around 8:49 am that the quake lasted for a few
seconds. While the neighbouring states of Nagaland, Manipur and Tripura felt
the mild jolt, there was no report of any casualty in any of these states.
Manipur and all the seven northeastern states are categorized under Zone V in
the country's seismological map and hence considered highly active.
UNUSUAL DAY TEMPERATURE
It’s recorded on 22 May 2014, Thursday the
day temperature as about 42.60 C. Hot-winds have blown during the
day. On the eve the weather had a phenomenal change. The hot-winds moved upward
and when they cooled at these heights the gale winds and lightning rain
resulted. By 6 O’clock the city covered with thick black clouds. The bizarre
wind and gales brought down many electric pillars to the ground. Many trees
have fallen on the electric wires. HB colony, MVP colony, Sagarnagar,
Adibhatlanagar, Rushikonda, Endad, Padbhanabham, Bimilli, Anadapuram, Arilova,
Visahalakshinagar, Hanumanthwalka and other places were affected and electric
wires broken have fallen down along with electric poles. Lightning was
responsible to kill three people. May 22nrd rain with heavy winds
lash disturbed north coastal Andhra and lightning killed two people in Bobbili.
But on 23 May it was again the scorching heat wave in Vizag.
RAIN
DAYS
The afternoon of 24 May 2014 the weather has changed
around 2h30mPM, with temperatures lowered and on 25 May whole day it was a cool
weather and in the afternoon it rained from 3 to 5pm. May 25, 2014 heavy rain brought relief to Visakhapatnam at
5.30PM with 4.6mm on Sunday. 26 May began with a cool pleasant weather in the
morning.
May
27, 2014 the dissolution of depression in Bay of Bengal led to continuous rains
in Srikakulum and Vijaya nagaram districts from Sunday (25th)
morning with highest rainfall in Kalingapatanam of 230mm till Monday morning.
Parvatipuram in Vijayanagaram received 110mm rainfall.

Indonesia Volcano ash
On Saturday
31 May 2014, the eruption of Sangeang Api in south of Indonesia produced large
cloud of Ash cancelling flights from Australia and Southern Asia.
Thunderstorms
of North East
May 31, 2014 Northern and Eastern areas
gales, thunderstorms, hailstorms killed as many as 47 people in New Delhi area.
Delhi itself recorded 14 deaths on Saturday 31st. A massive thunderstorm hit several states
around Delhi on Friday evening and on Saturday morning. 6 people killed in
Jaunpur district, five in Etah and three in Barabanki. Highest temperature
recorded was 45.60C. In
Jharkhand seven persons were killed in a storm on Saturday morning. Morning at 4h30AM Saturday storm struck,
trees were uprooted in Ranchi, Jamshedpur, Hazaribagh, Latehar and a few
districts. Five people died in Murshidabad,
three were killed in Purulia and two in Burdwan. Western Bengal 12 died due to
the rain thundershowers that struck in three districts. 29 people were injured. Odisha state in
Ganjam Zillaha, Saturday night heavy rain collapsed mobile towers and in Banjar
Ghar two electric poles collapsed. In Berhampur near Hiradhakandi-Kali temple
area several electric wires were cut due to the fall of a tower.
CONCLUSION
The month of May that exhibited several Gravity Waves resulted in the Earthquake on 21
May 2014 that struck at Odisha Coast but below 6 Km sand coverage. The site was
a bit surprising since it was not a seismic prone area. This is an important
and significant finding of the author that Gravity waves do precede the
occurrence of Earth Tremors. Again his
remarkable observation is that the Earth Quake was fully protected away by the
6 km sand cover near Odisha State and the spread out tremor splash extended
from Madras State to Delhi area.
