ABSTRACT

The long, dark solar filament that had been visible for many days finally lifted off and broke away into space (Sept. 2, 2014). For the last four years the Chittoor district is under severe drought due to failure of monsoon rains. The Rivers of Jammu & Kashmir, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha states have flooded and J & K floods are unprecedented over more than fifty years. A mysterious boom on Sunday September 7 heard, in the capital was made by a small meteorite that left a crater in a wooded area near Managua’s airport. It appears to have come from an asteroid that was passing close by to Earth. The Northern Autumnal Equinox is less than two weeks away. That makes tonight's September 8, 2014, full Moon the Harvest Moon, the full Moon closest to the beginning of fall. It is very remarkable that the entire spectrum of colors gets reproduced in the sky in the evening at the sunset time and within a few minutes the color scope gets marvelously manifested, on the eve of September 11 at Muralinagar. During the days Sept 17 to Sept 19, what is the relation between the Magnetic field fluctuations of the Sun and the heavy down pours in France and in India, raising the sea level by two meters in France and a few feet height in Visakhapatnam? Thirty one hikers have been found lifeless near the peak of Mount Ontake after Saturday Sept. 27 sudden volcanic eruption. The India spacecraft MOM is now circling Mars in an orbit whose nearest point to the planet (periapsis) is at 421.7 km and farthest point (apoapsis) is at 76,993.6 km. The inclination of the orbit with respect to the equatorial plane of Mars is 150 degrees. IceCube experiment, found a third year of data to their analysis, reporting a total of 37 neutrinos with energies lying between 30TeV and 2PeV. Britain's first floating solar panel project installed. On Sept. 12th a CME hit Earth head-on, sparking the strongest geomagnetic storm of the year. The CME swept away many of the cosmic rays around Earth and, as a result, radiation levels in the stratosphere dropped. Prime Minister Narendra Modi not only won the hearts of NRIs here but also of nearly 40top US lawmakers who described his words as "inspirational and visionary". The fuel that the MOM spacecraft has saved for it there are two options. The first is to use the fuel to extend the life of the spacecraft beyond six months to one year or more. The second option is to fine-tune the orbiter’s trajectory to obtain more data. New x-ray-diffraction experiments reveal the hidden order inside a spinning bead of super fluid.

 INTRODUCTION

       Filament Eruption Earth Directed: On September 2, a filament of DARK PLASMA of Sun has been exhibited by Spaceweather.com. It survived days but erupted with a CME emerging from the blast to have an Earth reaching component [NASA’s SDO recorded the blast].:
           To make rocket engine parts, the design need to be entered into the 3D printer’s computer. The printer then built each part by layering the metal powder and laser-fusion puts it together, a process known as selective laser melting. [News on September 3].

KRISHNA RIVER SPOTLIGHT AFTER 2300 YEARS
                  Amravati in Andhra, was built way back in 3rd century BC and ancient Sanskrit (Indian)  Text  of Atreya Brahmana (800 BC) speaks about Telugu people Assaka Maha - Janapada settlement in Southern India between Godavari and Krishna Rivers that served as the first capital  Andhra. Later it was shifted to Dharnikonda (present Amravati) in 2nd century BC and ruled by Satavahana kings till 2nd century AD. It was shifted next to Vijayapuri, by Ikshvaku dynasty, (Nagarjunakonda) on the banks of Krishna River in the same century. Due to Pallava Rule the capital shifted to Kancheepuram in now Tamil Nadu from 4th to 6th century. Later it was Kodur, Kapotapuram, Vengi and Vinukonda which served as capital cities. During that time rulers were Bhihatpalayanas, Anadagothrikas, Salankayanas and Vishnikundins. Seventh capitol took shape at Warangal during the rule of Kakatiya and Chola dynasties for a considerable period of 600 years. After that was the Golden era of Vijayanagar Empire with Hampi as capitol. Later the capitol of Andhra was between Hampi and Golconda/Hyderabad ruthlessly ruled by Muslims followed easily by British who created the Madras Presidency.

                  Now, the new State of Andhra Pradesh 2014 formed, likely to have the capitol located between Guntur and Vijayawada.

Electrons in magnetic field reveal surprises

Aug 14, 2014: According to classical physics, electrons should rotate about the magnetic-field direction with a single frequency, called the "cyclotron frequency". But in their experiments, the researchers found that, contrary to what was predicted, they were able to induce a multitude of rotation frequencies in their moving electrons, namely the cyclotron frequency, zero frequency and the Larmor frequency (which is half the cyclotron frequency).

August 27, 2014, University of Massachusetts at Amherst

                         The pp reaction is the first step of a reaction sequence responsible for about 99 percent of the Sun's power. Solar neutrinos are produced in nuclear processes and radioactive decays of different elements during fusion reactions at the Sun's core. These particles stream out of the star at nearly the speed of light, as many as 420 billion hitting every square inch of the Earth's surface per second. These pp neutrinos, emitted when two protons fuse forming a deuteron, are particularly hard to study.

MATTER AND ANTIMATTER IN UNIVERSE
            Torsion could also explain the observed imbalance between matter and antimatter in the universe. Because of torsion, matter would decay into familiar electrons and quarks, and antimatter would decay into "dark matter," a mysterious invisible form of matter that appears to account for a majority of matter in the universe.  Finally, torsion could be the source of "dark energy," a mysterious form of energy that permeates all of space and increases the rate of expansion of the universe. Geometry with torsion naturally produces a "cosmological constant," a sort of added-on outward force which is the simplest way to explain dark energy. Thus, the observed accelerating expansion of the universe may end up being the strongest evidence for torsion. Torsion therefore provides a theoretical foundation for a scenario in which the interior of every black hole becomes a new universe [A physicist presents a solution to present-day cosmic mysteries.

RESEARCH ON ENZYMES
                      Enzymes were used to channel fatty acids a different biological pathway, so that the bacteria made engine-ready renewable propane instead of cell membranes. The goal is to insert this engineered system into photosynthetic bacteria so as to directly convert Solar Energy into Chemical fuel.

Authorities said bad weather on Friday cut short the work of investigators in rural Virginia probing the abduction and murder of two young sisters who disappeared while going to see an Easter exhibit at a Maryland shopping mall nearly 40 years ago. For a week, detectives have been looking for evidence and gathering information around Taylor Mountain, east of Roanoke, in connection with a person of interest in the case who was named earlier this year.

 KATMANDU, Nepal (AP)

 The last king of Nepal is in stable condition in a hospital after suffering a heart attack, doctors said Sunday.  Gyanendra Shah was brought to the hospital Saturday night, and was recovering in the intensive care unit and was out of danger, said Dr. Bharat Rawat at the Norvic Hospital in atmandu. Hundreds of his supporters crowded the hospital Sunday. Security was tightened around the hospital in the center of Katmandu. Gyanendra was the last king to rule Nepal before the Constitution Assembly abolished the centuries-old monarchy and turned the country into a republic. He remains in Nepal as a common citizen with no powers, but is provided security by the government. He was crowned as king in 2001 after the killing of his elder brother Birendra in a palace massacre but remained mostly unpopular. Mass demonstrations forced him to give up his authoritarian rule. Many people believe that Gyanendra was involved in the massacre of Birendra and nine other royal family members. An investigation blamed Birendra's son Dipendra, who was among the dead, for the massacre. He has maintained a low profile with occasional public appearances. Despite his unpopularity, he still has tens of thousands of supporters who want the monarchy reinstated.

Sunken 'Ship of Gold' Contains Bounty of Jewelry, Other Treasures:  By Stephanie Pappas, Live Science Contributor September 19, 2014 11:45 AM. A trove of gold coins, bracelets, buckles and broaches are among the precious treasures retrieved from a 157-year-old shipwreck off the coast of South Carolina. The "Ship of Gold," known in its sailing days as the SS Central America, was loaded down with 30,000 lbs. (13,600 kilograms) of gold when a hurricane sent it to the watery depths 160 miles (260 kilometers) from the coast of South Carolina on Sept. 12, 1857. In 1988, the shipwreck site was discovered, and recovery efforts pulled large amounts of gold from the bottom. But only about 5 percent of the site was excavated.

POSITRON AND ELECTRON DIFFERENT ORIGINS

The analysis reveals that the positron flux is significantly different from the electron flux  of above 30GeV in energy, which suggest that positrons and electrons have a different origin. Electron and Positron Fluxes in Primary Cosmic Rays Measured with Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on the ISS. M. Aguilar et al AMS Collaboration Phys. Rev. Letts, 113, p.121102, 2014 pub Sept 18, 2014.

SOLAR WIND IMPACT

On Sept 7 a solar wind gust hit the Earth's magnetic field. The impact triggered colorful Northern Lights that people saw all the way from Europe to the western US.

WONDERS OF THE WORLD

1.    Pink Lake in Western Australia: Quite like the color of strawberry bubblegum, the lake Hiller in Western Australia is famous for being one of the most stunning pink lakes across the world.

2.    Seven Colored Earth in Chamarel, Mauritius: The small village in Mauritius is popular to check out numerous colors of the Earth. Test tubes filled with multi-colored earth is a great souvenir.

3.    Zhangye Danxia in Gansu, China: This unusual yet stunning formation of rainbow colors can be witnessed at the Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park in Gansu, China. This unique natural wonder is a result of red sandstone and mineral deposits that have been laid down for over 24 million years.

What is a Solar Wind Tower?


Posted by Christina B Farnsworth:  Aug 22, 2014 2:32:00 PM


Sas Ariz., describes itself as the “gateway to the Sea of Cortez.” Located southwest of Yuma, between the Mexican border and the Colorado River, it will break ground on a solar wind tower power plant in 2015. The electric-power plant will be taller than the Chicago's Willis Building  (Willis used to be known as the Sears Tower) and will generate as much power as the Hoover Dam. According to a story broadcast on Phoenix Fox TV, the tower, at 2,250-feet (686-meter) tall, would be 800 feet taller than Willis and “the tallest structure in North America.”

OBSERVATIONS

New Type of Turbulence on North Carolina’s Coast: Published September 2, 2014:  Physics 7, 89 (2014): Analysis of sea surface height measurements during a storm in North Carolina’s Outer Banks has led to the first observation of an unusual form of turbulence. Over 40 years ago, Vladimir Zakharov, working at what is now the Budker Institute for Nuclear Physics in Novosibirsk, Russia, conceived of a novel kind of turbulence that could appear in situations ruled by the KdV equation. He described collective fluid motion that looked like typical turbulence but was in fact the aggregate result of numerous solitons of different sizes. But so far no one has observed soliton turbulence.

Far-side powerful flare erupted and triggered a huge and long-lasting proton storm that flew past the STEREO Behind spacecraft on Sept. 1, 2014. The storm was so strong that it temporarily confused the star trackers on both STEREO spacecraft.

VISAKHAPATNAM

       The September 1, 2014 was a very cloudy (during the Vinayaka festival) that lasted for three days from 29 to 31 August and in the evening of 1st and early morning of September 2 it rained heavily. But by 12h40mPM in the afternoon, on 2nd September, it was a very sunny. At 1h27mPM it started raining with Sun shine prevalent shabbily.

IceCube neutrino telescope

 

                           Fig.B  An event in the IceCube neutrino telescope.
          Photomultipliers attached to strings buried deep in the Antarctic ice detect the bursts of light emitted when a neutrino collides with the ice and produces a Muon. Color circles indicate triggered photomultipliers, with time progressing from red to green. The event shown was generated by an upward moving Muon, which was produced by an upward moving Muon neutrino that passed through the Earth [M. G. Aartsen et al. September 2, 2014: Phys. Rev. Lett. Vol.113, p.101101,2014]. The IceCube detector achieves a 1 billion ton effective mass by burying photomultiplier detectors in a cubic kilometer of ice in the South Pole. When an electron neutrino collides with an atom in the ice, it generates a broad shower of particles, while Muon (tau) neutrinos can generate kilometer-long Muon (tau) tracks; both produce light that is detected by the photomultipliers. In 2013, IceCube reported on two years of data taking, in which they detected 26 neutrinos with energies lying above 30TeV  including a greater than 1 PeV neutrino that was the highest energy neutrino ever detected (see 8 July synopsis). In their latest paper, they have added a third year of data to their analysis, reporting a total of 37 neutrinos with energies lying between 30TeV and 2PeV. Their detected signal is significantly (6σ) in excess of the expected flux of atmospheric neutrinos (those produced by cosmic rays interacting with atmospheric protons and neutrons) over the same energy.

 SOLAR FILAMENTS

The long, dark solar filament that had been visible for many days finally lifted off and broke away into space (Sept. 2, 2014). Filaments are elongated clouds of plasma tethered above the Sun's surface by powerful magnetic forces. Filaments are notoriously unstable. They appear darker when viewed in extreme ultraviolet light because they are somewhat cooler than the underlying material. The video covers about 14 hours of activity. The still was taken about 14:00 UT. Credit: Solar Dynamics Observatory/NASA.

BOSNIAN COAL MINERS

                           About five Bosnian minors were feared dead on Friday September 5 and 30 others have reached the surface. The tragedy was due to a quake that held people underground for 18-hour ordeal.

KASHMIR, PAKISTAN AND PUNJAB FLOODS

                      Flash floods led to a bus crash with 45 people of a marriage party along with bride and bridegroom feared dead on Thursday September 4, as they were washed away while crossing Laam-Darhal-Moushera road, by floods of Gambhir River in Rajouri district. And only four people jumped the bus along with driver and conductor saved by an army unit.

                          The heavy rains left devastation in Kashmir, Pakistan and Punjab apart from other states in India like Orissa and Andhra Pradesh. In the Anantnag and surrounding areas the measuring meter of rain fall has disappeared, the flood above the 34 feet mark recorded in the upper reaches of the valley September 5. Jhelum River in Srinagar was flowing 4.40 feet above the danger mark. About 60 minor and major roads cutoff and over two dozen (30) bridges have been washed away. Over 70 killed in Pakistan rains mostly in Punjab.

                          About 145 people died as on September 8, due to floods in Jammu & Kashmir declared, as a national disaster by Prime Minister Narendra Modi who paid a visit to Kashmir and declared Rs.1000crore help grant to support the Rs1100crore grant by state government.. Srinagar Sachivalayam and High Court covered with 6 to 8 inches of water depths. Business centre Lalchowk, Army cantonment and important roads got stuck with rain water. Milk powder of 50tons airlifted to Kashmir children. Solar lamps distributed. Occupied Kashmir surveyed by Sharif.

                          The Rivers of Godavari and Vamsadhara in AP also overflowed due to incessant  gates. Bhadrachalam in the evening at 6PM on September 8, 45.7 feet water level recorded.  Recorded water levels are at Kaleswaram 11.4m, Perur 15.16m, Kunavaram 13.14m, Dhummagudem 13.9m, Polavaram 10.34m, and at Rajahmundry railway bridge 14.18m.

                          In Odisha and West Bengal, after six years heavy rains inundated several towns and the Srikakulum Zillah, and Hira Mandalam Gotta Barage on Sunday, September 7, evening 6PM 1.97cusec inflow recorded. In Visakhapatnam agency area, due to three days of heavy ndrain, River Mathsyya Gadda is flowing at an alarming level from Sileru to Jolaput.

METEORITE IMPACT CRATER AT NICARAGUAN

                          A mysterious boom on Sunday September 7 heard, in the capital was made by a small meteorite that left a crater in a wooded area near Managua’s airport. It appears to have come from an asteroid that was passing close by to Earth. Crater left by meteorite had a radius of 12m and a depth of 5m. It is not clear whether it disintegrated or was buried after crash. Forecast was that an asteroid passed by the planet on Saturday September 6 night.

SPACEWEATHER September 2014

                          The Northern Autumnal Equinox is less than two weeks away. That makes tonight's September 8, 2014, full Moon the Harvest Moon, the full Moon closest to the beginning of Fall. The name "Harvest Moon" harkens back to a bygone era. Before the days of electric lights, farmers relied on moonlight to harvest crops which ripened all at once in autumn. They couldn't afford to stop working at sunset, so "harvest moonlight" was essential to their operations. The flow of electricity has made the Moon obsolete as a source of practical illumination, but not as an object of beauty. Stepping outside on Sept 8, 2014 at Sunset, looking towards the East, enjoyed the view at Visakhapatnam on the Beach Coast. [See the pictures captured on Nokia200 and Canon IXUS130].

 WEATHER

                                September 9 the weather in Visakhapatnam was very cloudy but with no rain.

                                  El Nino may not hit by Year end says the UN. There is 55-60% chance it could begin between September and November and a 70% chance in November 2014 to February 2015 said WMO.  September 10 Visakhapatnam weather was mildly cloudy and with lots of Sunshine.

OLD MANUSCRIPTS

                     Tamil Nadu preserving old 72,300 manuscripts of palm leaves, as intellectual heritage, with digitization. They would be available on website of the Archaeology Department being modernized. The 145 year old library preserves 300-400 years old and some dating back to 500 years (2.34crores). Digitization will cover 15000 “estam-pages” (50lakh grant), impressions on paper of inscriptions on temple walls and pillars, boulders or stones in the custody of the Epigraphy Wing of Department. Nearly 5000 of them have been digitized so far. The Sanskrit manuscripts constitute about two-thirds the total number and microfilmed for Indira Gandhi National Centre. Scholars anywhere in the world can take up the studies on these manuscripts. Treasure trove in Government Library there are about 806 Leaf and 1426 Paper manuscripts.

 FLOODS AND RAINFALL EVENTS

                          The Mumbai floods in 2005, Uttarakhand floods in 2013 and J&K floods now in 2014, sought to be explored for climatic changes in North-Pole affecting Indian Weather and Monsoon. Global temperatures continue to rise in the coming decade. Kashmir rainfall recent, unprecedented over last few years, is an indication of extreme rainfall events likely to occur in India. In less than 24 hours Indian Army Engineers have built two bridges across the Poonch and Jammu districts and made operational on Wednesday September 10.

WATER LEVELS OF GODAVARI RECEEDING

                          All the 175 gates of Godavari River opened at the Sir Arthur Cotton Bridge at Dowaleswaram, Bobberlanka, Maddur and Vijjeswaram were lifted to when water level reached the height of 13.75feet at 5PM as of on Monday September 8 to discharge 13lakh cusecs of water into the sea. Road connectivity snapped in 36 villages in Devipatnam Mandal. At Srisailam the water reached the maximum level. The 22 villages in Polavaram Mandal were cut off as flood water was flowing over the Kedam Bridge. The Wednesday and Thursday September 11, the water levels in Godavari River have receded and exist now at 14.4ft and at 13.75 ft respectively.

                           Outflow from Nagarjunasagar, of water stored with inflow of 1,03,036 cusecs, in Pullichintala reservoir and at request of Telangana nine gates of Pullichintala were opened on Tuesday  Sept 16 at 7h30mPM, for down flow of water to Krishna river about 90000cusecs. At Pullichintala water level is being maintained at 41-42meters height. AP and TS villages flooded with road connectivity lost at Gollapeta, Kllouru, Chitylal, Chitylal Tanda, and Bodham villages in Guntur district, while in Nalgonda connectivity to Vellatoor, Adloor, Nemalipuri, Chitrlyala and Kistapur villages in Nalgonda district.

 FLOOD WATER RECED IN VADODARA

                           Water receded in 80% areas of the city after Vishwamitri River swelled and inundated residential colonies on September 11.

VISAKHAPATNAM
                          Rain splashed Visakhapatnam for one and half hours on the September 11 in the afternoon from 3PM to 4.30PM and weather remained cloudy since the morning.

STORM CLOUD SUN-EARTH LINE
 
Most of the storm cloud is heading north of the sun-Earth line, but not all. A fraction of the CME will deliver a glancing blow to Earth's magnetic field during the early hours of Sept. 12th. In the past few weeks, glancing blows from minor CMEs have sparked beautiful auroras around the Arctic Circle. This CME could spark even better displays. NOAA forecasters estimate a 79% chance of polar geomagnetic storming on Sept. 12th.
PUNJAB

                          Over 25 dead and 300acres of border area submerged under water in Punjab. Six villages Ghania ke Bet, Kassowal, Purnwal, Lallowal Gunia, Saharanpur and Mansore and 3000acres of land were inundated due to flood waters September 3 to September 11 floods of Rivers in Gurdaspur district on the Indo-Pak border.

KASMIR & JAMMU FLOODS SUMMARY

                          Worst ever floods in Kashmir over the 109 years resulted as a national calamity. About 1200 villages were affected in Kashmir valley and 1100 villages in Jammu. 400 were totally submerged under water and 1.3lakh people were rescued by Army, Air Force, Navy and NDRF teams. Jhelum, Chenab and Tawi Rivers in major fury and devastating floods occurred in Jammu & Kashmir experienced in a century with rains lasting for a 12 days period.  30 feet high in areas near the Jhelum on Sunday Sept 7. Water rose to four feet on the night of Sept 8 at Dal lake. Flood toll may cross 400 with five lakh people still stranded. Rampant deforestation in the region has exposed the surface soil to heavy erosion and accumulation of it on the river beds and other water bodies reduced the water carrying capacity. Possibly floods are due to the man-made blunders. Anantnag, literally means place of many springs, is also victim of encroachment and unscientific development witnessed 286mm rainfall followed by 245mm rainfall in Banihal on September 4, 2014 the highest in the region. Floods damaged 50 bridges and 175km roads. At least 5000 people belonging to other states evacuated by airlift. At least 45,000 people rescued by boats. About 150 relief camps set up with one lakh people took shelter and 200tonnes of relief material has been supplied to date Sept 11.  Says a boy along with 35 others reached Delhi (out of about 74 students from Telangana and AP), from AP we faced 12 days of continues rains and college campus completely inundated. They travelled 16-hours advised by locals from Hazaratbal to Leh from where he was airlifted to AP.

                     India's monsoon rains were 64 percent above average in the week to Sept. 10, the weather office said on Thursday, the heaviest rainfall so far seen in this year's patchy season. Rainfall turned 24 percent surplus in the previous week after the June-September monsoon season broke a three-week-long lull that lasted until Aug. 27. The annual monsoon rains are vital because over half of India's farmlands lack irrigation, and the farm sector accounts for 14 percent of the national economy. Authorities in Kashmir collected the bodies of women and children floating in the streets on Thursday as anger mounted over what many survivors said a bungled operation to help those was caught in the region's worst flooding in 50 years.
             Over 2.25L rescued by Armed forces as on Monday, Sept 14. Eighty-nine transport aircraft and helicopters of Indian Air Force and Army Aviation Corps took part. Army deployed 30,000 troops about 21,000 in Srinagar and remaining 9,000 in Jammu. They distributed 5,08,000liters of water bottles, 31,500 food parcels and over 1,054tonnes cooked food packets have been airdropped and distributed in flood affected areas. 9tonnes of ready-to-eat packaged foods provided by DRDO. 33,000 blankets, given by Ministry of Textiles, and Govt. of Jharkhand and Punjab, Red Cross Society,  and 1074 tents were provided to the flood victims. About 80 medical teams of the Armed forces operated in full swing. IAF running scores of sorties, including by strategic heavy lift C-17 Globemaster III aircraft along with the C-130J Super Hercules transport aircraft. Also, Antonov-32 and Avro transport aircraft along with the fleet of helicopters including world’s largest chopper Mi-26 have been made available for airlifting people. Four field hospitals were established in Avantipura, Patan, Anantnag and Old Air field areas where medical aid, of 4.7tonnes of medicines and health care including mobile oxygen generator plant, provided till Friday about 21,500 patients treated. 13tonnes of water purifying tablets, 6 filtration plants with a capacity to filter 1.2lakh bottles a day provided. 22,000litre of fuel reached valley from Ambala.

                  Massive floods in Kashmir valley in 109 years, have created horror affecting more than 1,200 villages in Kashmir and stranded five lakh people. 400 villages in Kashmir and 300 villages in Jammu were completely submerged.  1,100 villages in Jammu were affected by floods. Jammu & Srinagar NH remains closed for the ninth consecutive day on Friday Sept 12. Five districts in Kashmir and six districts in Jammu were affected.

 Landslides, washing off road patches and flooding at various places in Banihal, Ramban, Batote, Kud, Patnitop, Chenani, Udhapur and Jammu led to closure of roads. Reopen highway would facilitate moving rescue material to the deprived people.

Law & Disorder in J&K developed with VIPs facing flood of fury by unruly mobs that captured at least three life boats on Sept 12.

 J&K train services started partly between Srinagar and Baramulla on Sept 14.

CLEANING OPERATION

                   Sunday Sept 28, 2014 20:15:00 GMT by IANS: 17,360 tonnes of flood garbage removed from Srinagar for the cleaning of Srinagar city, the corporation has pressed 5,000 men and 200 machines into service which are operating round-the-clock.

PAKISTAN PLAN TO DIVERT RIVER FLOW

                           Two major cities of Muzaffargarh and Multan (centre of cotton Industry) in Pak Punjab province on Thursday Sept 11, planned to be protected by exploding dykes placed if need be. Rains and floods claimed more than 260 dead flooding the swathes of farm land in the country’s breadbasket and most prosperous area of two million people. Further upstream city of Jhang with 10,000 evacuated faced on Wednesday danger of floods. Troops rescued 22000 people in Punjab and Pak-administered Kashmir [Agency France-Presse]. They have eventually diverted the river flows!

                          Vamsadhara and Nagavalli and Mahendratanya Rivers inflows reduced on Monday. From one lack cusecs Vamsadhara River dropped to 48599 cusecs at 5.30PM on Monday. Further rain stopped in Odisha state.

 Chittoor District Reels under Drought

 
                          For the last four years the Chittoor district is under severe drought due to failure of monsoon rains. This year it rained only 194.5mm in the kharif season, while expectation was 306.7mm during May 16 to August 31. Moisture in the air is getting evaporated and day and night temperatures are increasing drastically. Groundwater levels are decreasing. Of the 66 Mandals 52 are facing the severe drought conditions. Shortage of drinking and irrigation water, fodder and lack of employment for farm labor some of the problems district administrators are facing. On September 24 to October 6 is considered here as a Monsoon holiday. Srikalahasti, Satyvedu, Nagari, and GD Nellore constitutions depend on the east-west monsoon and low pressure troughs that would start on October 6.
OTTAWA: CANADA

                          Unseasonal snow storm battered the western Canadian city for a third day in a row on Wednesday September 10 downing power lines and thousands of homes and businesses. The city at the centre of oil sector saw record snowfall this week with 10 to 15cm with temperatures plunging to below freezing. Calgary’s one million residents are well accustomed to heavy snow and freezing temperatures but not in early September.

SEPT 12 CME’s AND THE VISAKHAPATNAM RAIN

                           CME has the potential to trigger significant geomagnetic activity when it reaches Earth's magnetic field during the mid-to-late hours of Sept. 12th. to 1,400 km/s. The cloud had decelerated. Earth's magnetic field will receive a double-blow from a pair of CMEs on Sept. 12th. The two storm clouds were propelled in our direction by explosions in the magnetic canopy of sunspot AR2158 on Sept. 9th and 10th, respectively. NOAA forecasters estimate an almost-80% chance of polar geomagnetic storms on Sept. 12-13.

                           In Visakhapatnam there was full Sun shine on Friday September 12, but by evening 5h30m PM, cloudy weather took over and there was a heavy rain with virulent thunderbolts and lightning for nearly three hours time in the evening around 5h30m PM to 8h30m PM possibly due to the geomagnetic storms initiation. Waltair recorded 25mm rainfall while Vizag Airport recorded 16.4mm of rainfall. All the low lying areas of Visakhapatnam got submerged in the rain water.

WEATHER IN VIZAG

On the September 13 morning was again with good Sun shine that lasted till the evening. On Sept 14 the weather was cloudy in the morning up to 10AM and no wind blowing over but by noon the Sunshine was full. By evening it may cloudy and late in the night showered slightly. On Sept 15 it was all a cloudy sky and in the afternoon around 3h30m PM it thundered little and they was rain spell around 4PM. It was drizzling in the evening as well and the weather has become quite cool.

Flood waters reached Prakasam Barrage from Pullichintala project on Monday night, Sept 15. About 18,500 cusecs released into canals. 40,000cusecs would reach Prakasam on Tuesday morning. About 1lakh cusecs of water released in Nagarjunasagar would reach Prakasam barrage after three days. From Prakasam barrage all the water would be released into the sea. Proper stabilization of water in Krishna River would prevent flow into the sea. At Srikakulam heavy rainfall on Sunday late night and Monday early hours had an outlet only through the school ground in a narrow outlet, so school was closed on Monday, Sept 15. Incessant rain fall in Latehar on Monday caused people to carry children on their shoulders.

Sept 16 Tuesday, a powerful typhoon Kalmaegi, slammed into Southern China swamping ships, grounding flights, forcing thousands to flee home (many not recovered from previous tycoon hit). It packed winds at 144km per hour, made land fall on the east coast of Hainan Island.

Today no damage reported as 7.1R earth quake struck northwest of Guam, 25 miles of the Pacific Island with 100 miles deep Sept 17.

ABANDONED TEMPLES IN NELLORE CITY

             A tiny village with 101 temples and an equal number of wells in Prabhagiri Patnam, surrounded by Krishnamma, Peda, Chirutala Kondalu and other hills, in Podalauru Mandal, 45 km from Nellore, flourished in 10th century  AD, during the rein of Cholas, is just a centre of black magic now on the days of Full Moon and No-Moon days (Amavasya). Idols of different Gods like Pancha Mukhi Brahama, Sundaraswera Swamy, Poleru Thalli, Naga Vaishnavi, Amarnath Swamy, Gangammathalli, Maha Vishnu, Theerdhanari Devi and others like abandoned in Bushes and wells. Muslims invaded the village and made it a pile of debris but one Hanuman temple remained at the entrance of the village. A stone carving revealed that the Padma Chola ruled the city of 700 people, and never took food or water until he visited all the temples every day. The king gifted precious jewels to the Lord here.

Volcano Iceland’s Largest

Iceland's largest volcano is restless. The Bardarbunga volcano system, located under the massive Vatnajoekull glacier, has been rocked by hundreds of tremors daily since mid-August. Lava is currently spewing from fissures, prompting fears of a much larger eruption. Local photographers, meanwhile, are having a great time recording a rare mix of lava-red and aurora-green in the night sky: Thorsten Boeckel sends this photo from Mývatn, Iceland. "The red shine of the fissure eruption together with the green aurora provided a phantastic view. A full-fledged eruption of this volcano has the potential to be even more disruptive than the 2010 eruption of nearby Eyjafjallajokull, which threw air traffic into chaos across Europe. According to the Icelandic Met Office, there are no signs of decreasing magma output as of Sept. 17th.

DEADLY RAIN AND RISE OF SEA LEVEL

Blazing Sun throughout the day on Sept 17 but in the night from 9h30mPM to almost 11hPM it rained heavily.     Sept 18 full day there was Sunshine with moving clouds and less air flow, since last five days. Sept 18 to Sept 19 morning around 8h30mAM there was rain at Visakhapatnam somewhat heavy and continuous. Throughout the day on Sept 19 there was drizzling rain in Visakhapatnam with heavy overcast clouds on the evening. On Sept 18 in Guntur a women was killed in heavy rain and another due to lightning, a third death occurred when a women was washed away by flood waters in Kondaveeti vague at LAM farm chapta. Incessant rain of the past two days Sept 16 and 17 caused the boulders at Indrakeeladri of Kanakamahalakshmi Durgamma temple to fall down the hillock.

In France five people were killed due to flash floods of a peaceful river in southern France, on Thursday Sept 18. The site in Lamalou-les-Bains was devastated by flood overnight as storms raised a wave of two meters high that swept away a person walking.

            The Visakhapatnam beach coast has been noticed on the eve of Sept 19 to have risen at least by three to four feet height and the sea waves have considerably increased. Eye witnesses have vouched for it. The sky was completely overcast with phenomenal heavy clouds but lightning and thunder was practically absent. It rained in the evening around 6h30m to 7h30mPM. Sept. 19th, but a storm occurred anyway.

GREEN MIDNIGHT ON SEPT 19

Sky watchers around the Arctic Circle saw the midnight sky turn green as magnetometers registered an unexpected G1-Class disturbance between 0300 and 0600 UT. The source of the display was a fluctuation in the interplanetary magnetic field (IME). During the early hours of Sept. 19th, the IMF tipped south, opening a crack in our planet's magnetosphere. Solar wind poured in to fuel the storm.

            What is the relation between the Magnetic field fluctuations and the heavy down pours in France and in India, raising the sea level by two meters in France and a few feet height in Visakhapatnam?

PRESENCE OF MIND

            It was on Friday Sept 19, all of a sudden the ground floor of the four storied power generation unit was flooded after a thunderous noise from the gushing water of Nagarjunasagar. Within minutes water level reached three feet creating tension among the fifteen technicians and engineers at the site. Staff are still wondering how water had gushed into the generation station. Overhauling of the 30MW unit was in progress, which is done once in 20 years, without wasting time she ordered the staff to release water through draft tubes directly to the left bank canal. Presence of mind saved the units and CMD and others praised the presence of mind of the Woman Engineer.

RAIN DISASTERS

                    Two teachers washed away in Koppaganji Vagu on Friday evening on Sept 19 and the heavy rain claimed a toll of 5 people. Due improper drainage facilities that lead to inundation in Guntur and rain water entered the houses. GMC failed to flush out the rain water in Hanumannagar, and GMC collects only funds was the complaint by local residents. Kondaveeti Vagu referred, as the stream of sorrow, by locals of Amravati, Tadikonda, Achampeta and Mangalgiri Mandals in the last thirty years has not been diverted into Prakasam barrage (due to fear by Engineers and experts) or to the Krishna River at Attluru village. But Attluru and adjacent villagers opposed the diversion fearing inundation of crops and properties. The following the heavy rain upstream the inflows into Somasila project increased with 27,414cusecs at 6AM on Friday. Normal life in Srikakulam was hit due to relentless rain from morning on Friday Sept 19 with rainfall recorded as 273.8mm. At Gotta barrage water levels slightly increased.

               Thunder showers lashed Visakhapatnam for the 12 hours of Friday night with rainfall recorded as 77.4mm. Rainfall at Anakapalle recorded as 44mm, Chodavaram 35mm, Yelamanchaili 10mm, and S. Kota 14mm.

FIERY SUNSET

Head Quarters Spaceweather.com: Sierra Peak

                        Smoke from the epic King Fire is providing a natural filter. David Wheat photographed the fiery sunset from Tuolumne CA on Sept. 19 the fire, which began a week ago in a Portland. Dense smoke has grounded planes and choked the air for hundreds of miles around the blaze including a Sierra peak where the headquarters of Spaceweather.com is located. Because the fire is only 10% contained, fiery sunsets will likely continue for days to come.

MANILA, Philippines

A series of earthquakes destroyed 17 houses and damaged 66 others Saturday Sept 20, in a Southern Philippine town, slightly injuring three people, officials said. A magnitude-5 quake, the strongest of the tremors that shook the area, caused most of the damage in one mountain village, said Eduardo Buenacosa, disaster officer of Makilala municipality in North Cotabato province.

 MARKETING SUGAR

               The region Harit Pradesh a financially prosperous suddenly, fell to the problem of sugar cane farmers and the mill owners, since the industry has been suffering losses for over four years. Because of discrepancy in the cost of production of sugar and the cane prices to be paid to farmers it led to confusion and at least five cases of suicides have been recorded. Sugar cane sold to sugar mills, was not being paid the due amounts, over years that led to suicide killings [Sept 21 report by The Hindu].

 INDIGENOUSLY BUILT 32-METER ANTENNA

               The indigenously built 32-meter antenna located at the Village of Byalalu near Bangalore being used to track and communicate with the MOM, the mars orbiter of ISRO [see Fig.18 and the Photo2280]. On Monday Sept. 22, two spacecraft that are nearing Mars, one American and the other from India, will fire their engines and undertake crucial maneuvers. Shortly after 7 am on that day by Indian time, its orbit will be trimmed so that the probe flies 150 km above the planet at its closest point and about 6,300 km at its farthest. At about 2.30 pm on Monday, the Mars Orbiter is scheduled to fire its main engine for nearly four seconds. This will test how well the propulsion system is functioning and also provide a final trajectory correction. Two days later, at about 7:17 am on Sept. 24, the orbiter's engine will commence the burn to take the spacecraft into orbit about Mars according to the timeline prepared by ISRO.

               After completing about 99.4 per cent of its journey, the spacecraft called Mangalyaan is functioning well and is only 4 million km from Mars, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said on Saturday. The inter-planetary mission, launched on the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh on November 5 last year Tuesday, Nov 5, 2013 11:54 IST, will also explore deep sea communication and navigation. According to ISRO, the spacecraft is expected to enter the orbit of Mars at around 7.30 am on Wednesday. At 2.30 pm on September 22, the main liquid engine of the spacecraft, which has been dormant for 10 months, will be fired for about four seconds, partly to test the engine before September 24 and partly to achieve a minor reduction of velocity of about 1.1 km per second to correct its trajectory. This will be the fourth and final trajectory correction during the journey.

              The scientific objective of the mission is: Exploration of Mars surface features, morphology, mineralogy and Martian atmosphere by indigenous scientific instruments. The Launch Authorization Board has approved & cleared the PSLV-C25/Mars Orbiter Mission launch on Nov 05, 2013 at 14:38hrs IST (9:08 UTC, 4:08 a.m. EST) from the state-of-the-art Space Centre SHAR, Sriharikota.

                 Lyman Alpha Photometer, an absorption cell photometer that measures relative abundance of deuterium and hydrogen from Lyman-alpha emission in the Martian upper atmosphere. Methane Sensor for Mars designed to measure methane in the Martian atmosphere with PPB accuracy and maps its sources. Mars Exospheric Neutral Composition Analyzer, a quadruple mass spectrometer capable of analyzing the neutral composition in the range of 1 to 300amu with unit mass resolution. Mars Color Camera, a tri-color camera that gives images and information about the surface features and composition of Martian surface.

                    The spacecraft was within 5.4 lakh km radius of the Mars' gravitational sphere of influence this morning Sept 22. The main engine Liquid Apogee Motor (LAM), which lay dormant for 295 days was fired, on the orbiter successfully for 3.968 seconds, at 2h30mPM on Monday Sept 22 (In this 577,000-Kilometer sphere around the planet) achieving a change in velocity of 2.18 meters per second indicating a very slight over performance as the published burn target was a delta-v of 2.142m/s.  Mars creates the primary gravitational force acting on an object. With its path changing into a hyperbola centered on Mars with a periapsis altitude of approximately 723 Kilometers, to decrease the velocity, and results received after 12.5minutes, only at 2h44mPM.

                Mangalyaan was first publicly announced by former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh on August 15, 2012. The Mangalyaan was hoisted using the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle on its 24th consecutively successful mission. The rocket itself was about the same weight 320tonnes, as a fully loaded Boeing Jumbo Jet or 50 fully grown elephants, and as tall as a 15 storey building. The 1,350kg unmanned robotic satellite has been, first be slowed down in a tricky maneuver to get it caught in the orbit of Mars, (see Fig below) a wee bit slower and it would crash-land on the surface of Mars, a wee bit faster and it would miss the red planet to be lost in outer space forever.

                Main operation to begin at 7AM on Wednesday engine fired at 7h17m32sAM for 1454 seconds. The targeted arrival altitude is 515km above the surface of Mars. The Mars Orbit Insertion burn has a planned duration of 24 minutes and 14 seconds, slowing the spacecraft down by 1,098.7 meters per second to be captured in an elliptical orbit around Mars. During the burn, the engines will consume 249.5 Kilograms of propellant leaving only about 40 Kilograms of propellant for the rest of the mission. The Mars Orbit Insertion burn has a planned duration of 24 minutes and 14 seconds, slowing the spacecraft down by 1,098.7 meters per second to be captured in an elliptical orbit around Mars. During the burn, the engines will consume 249.5 Kilograms of propellant leaving only about 40 Kilograms of propellant for the rest of the mission.

               India so far launched 40 foreign satellites, many of them for advanced nations. The Mars Orbit Insertion Burn is planned to begin at 1:47 UTC on Wednesday. In this 577,000-Kilometer sphere around the planet, Mars creates the primary gravitational force acting on an object. With its path changing into a hyperbola centered on Mars with a periapsis altitude of approximately 723 Kilometers.

               India has succeeded on its first attempt - an achievement that eluded even the Americans and the Soviets.  The fuel that the spacecraft has saved for it there are two options. The first is to use the fuel to extend the life of the spacecraft beyond six months to one year or more. The second option is to fine-tune the orbiter’s trajectory to obtain more data.

               The decision on utilization of fuel will be taken in the next few days with scientists waiting for the orbiter to revolve around Mars at least twice so that there is adequate data to be examined. Each revolution will take 3.2 earth days.

               The spacecraft is now circling Mars in an orbit whose nearest point to the planet (periapsis) is at 421.7 km and farthest point (apoapsis) is at 76,993.6 km. The inclination of the orbit with respect to the equatorial plane of Mars is 150 degrees.

 AMERICA MARS SATELLITE

                America’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution Mission (MAVEN) will ignite its six main engines, which will then burn for 33 minutes to slow the spacecraft and put it in an elliptical orbit around Mars. On Monday Sept. 22, two spacecraft would be nearing Mars, one American and the other Indian.

               NASA probe MAVEN in Mars Orbit on Sunday, Sept 21 to study how the Red Planet climate changed over time, from warm and wet cold and dry. Year-long mission circles planet at 3730miles above its surface and would executes five deep dips to a distance of just 78miles to get readings of atmosphere, and how it interacts with the Sun and Solar wind, at various levels. Early November would be the official start of Science study by MAVEN.

 MARS SOME DATA

            The oxygen gas is held close to the planet by Mars's gravity, while lighter hydrogen gas expands to higher altitudes and extends past the edges of the image, These gases come from the breakdown of water and carbon dioxide in Mars's atmosphere.

            MARS Vs ANTI-MARS: Shining bright red in the heart of the constellation Scorpius, 1st-magnitude star Antares is often mistaken for Mars. In Greek, "Antares" means "rival of Mars" or "anti-Mars," so-named because it is about the same brightness and color as the Red Planet. As September comes to a close, the rivals are converging. Jeff Dai sends this photo of Mars and Antares setting side-by-side behind Mount Balang in Sichuan, China.

 

Fig.22  Mars and Antares Sept 28 and 29 closest approach
and on Sept 27 Moon passed close to Saturn not far from Antares and Mars

                On Sept. 28th and 29th, the nights of closest approach, Mars and Antares will be only a few degrees apart, a conjunction tight enough to fit behind your outstretched palm. Sept.  29th is the best night to look because the Moon will join the display, lining up to form a near-vertical column of heavenly bodies just above the southwestern horizon. Sept. 27th is a good night, too, but for a different reason: A slender crescent Moon will pass very close to Saturn not far from Antares and Mars.
Visakhapatnam Weather

                Full sunshine blazed the city on the morning of Sept 21, giving relief from the cloudy weather that survived over days in the city. But I felt very hot since accustomed to rainy weather for more than a month. I went to station to receive Dr. Lalitha Kumari MD (USA) from Vijayawada, and felt the hot Sun blazing the city. Sept 22 continues to be a hot day with blazing Sun. But, by afternoon weather changed and in the evening around 7h45mPM a cloud burst lashed Visakhapatnam ferociously for an hour and half. Dr. Lalitha Kumari MD (USA) left on Sept 22 night at 8PM by train, for 15day trip to Narmada River and then would proceed to Kasi town on 14 October for performing the annual (34years) ceremonies in honor of her husband.  It rained heavily from 7h45mPM to late night 8h45mPM and throughout the night it continued to drizzle. Visakhapatnam morning was a drizzling weather up to 11h55mAM. But afternoon it was blazing Sun and in the night around 8h23mPM no wind flow of air.

                On Sept. 23, the sun crossed the celestial equator heading south, and marked the end of Northern Summer. Sept 24 was the launch day of the satellite round Mars on the very first instance regarded as a remarkable feat. India succeeded but Americans have put their satellite just a day ahead of the Indians.

Auroras

At this time of year even a gentle gust of solar wind can spark a beautiful display. These are equinox auroras, appearing less than 48 hours after the onset of Northern Autumn. Auroras four nights in a row, but last night was really spectacular. The green light lit up the icebergs in a wonderful display.

SUMMER HEAT: LAST WEEK SEPT

            Sept 26 and Sept 27 happen to be very sunny days at Visakhapatnam and the scorching heat became a reminder of summer heat. Even in the evening, around 4h07mPM of Saturday the hot Sun is dominant, though people are preoccupied with festival of Dasara celebrations. The hot Sun prevailed till the Sun set on Sept 27 and the wind was minimal.  Sept 28 continues to be hot with simmering sunshine throughout the day. The sultry weather is holding in the night. Sept 29 continues to be a day of full Sun shine and relatively hot. Sept 30 happens to be relatively hot and no wind at Visakhapatnam.

QUANTUM TORANDOS

            Quantum tornadoes in a nanodroplet: New x-ray-diffraction experiments reveal the hidden order inside a spinning bead of super fluid by Ashley G. Smart, Sept.  2014. Spin a vessel of water, and the fluid will move in uniform, solid-body rotation replace the water with a super fluid—a liquid chilled to a viscosity-free quantum state—and the flow instead spawns an array of tiny tornadoes, each with quantized angular momentum. The so-called quantum vortices have been widely studied in rotating cryostats, but those experiments have limitations. Defects along a cryostat’s surface inevitably disturb the flow in ways that aren’t neatly captured by theory. Plus, bulky cryostats can be spun only so fast, a few rotations per second at most, and many interesting behaviors are thought to emerge at higher speeds. The ordered vortex arrays therefore show up in x-ray-diffraction patterns as Bragg peaks, as seen in the image here. Curiously, the peaks vanish at rotation frequencies above about 10 million hertz, possibly indicating a transition to a disordered or nonstationary phase. Those fastest-spinning droplets also show an unexpected morphology: They bulge at their equators and flatten at their poles, reminiscent of a cheese wheel.


CME hit Earth head-on

On Sept. 12th a CME hit Earth head-on, sparking the strongest geomagnetic storm of the year. The CME swept away many of the cosmic rays around Earth and, as a result, radiation levels in the stratosphere dropped. During a three-hour flight, the balloon ascended to the stratosphere, sampling radiation between ground level and approximately 115,000 ft. The payload then parachuted back to Earth and landed in a remote area of Death Valley National Park. The Southern Hemisphere has just experienced the exact same equinox and it is aurora season. Petr Horálek sends a picture of Southern Lights over Lauder, New Zealand, on Sept 25.

JAPAN VOLCANOE ERRUPTION

            Thirty one hikers have been found lifeless near the peak of Mount Ontake after Saturday Sept. 27 sudden volcanic eruption. About 250 people were trapped on the slopes of the popular beauty spot, but most have got down safely.  The volcano, about 200km (125 miles) west of Tokyo, erupted without warning on Saturday, spewing ash and rocks. The eruption forced many of those on the mountain to make emergency descents through clouds of volcanic ash and falling rocks. Almost 50 people were thought to have stayed on the mountain overnight, reports said. Heavy, toxic volcanic ash up to 20cm (8in) thick covered much of the mountain, reports said. Japan's second-highest volcano occurred following a violent eruption. The victims were found near the peak of the 10,062-foot mountain and appear to have been knocked unconscious by debris erupting from the volcano, or were overcome by the dense ash or toxic fumes. These were the first fatalities from a volcanic eruption in Japan since 1991.

Britain's first floating solar panel project installed

             Green energy developer says new floating technology is even more lucrative than solar farms on fields. Britain’s first ever floating solar panel project has just been built in Berkshire, in a scheme its developer claims will act as a blueprint for the technology to be installed at hundreds of sites across the country. The 800-panel green energy project was installed earlier this month on a reservoir at Sheep lands Farm, a 300-acre soft fruit farm near Wargrave. The technology, which is already being used at far larger scale in Japan, involves solar panels mounted on plastic floats, forming a giant pontoon.

The long, dark solar filament that had been visible for many days finally lifted off and broke away into space (Sept. 2, 2014). Filaments are elongated clouds of plasma tethered above the Sun's surface by powerful magnetic forces. Filaments are notoriously unstable. They appear darker when viewed in extreme ultraviolet light because they are somewhat cooler than the underlying material. Beijing political gesture of opening new silk route for Indian pilgrims visiting Kailas and Manasarovar in Tibet via Sikkim during President’s visit to India is suggested on Sept 6, 2014.  Dr. Lalitha Kumari MD (USA) left on Sept 22 night at 8PM by train, for 15day trip to Narmada River and then would proceed to Kasi town on 14 October for performing the annual (34years) ceremonies in honor of her husband.

Solar neutrinos about 420 billion hitting every square inch of the Earth's surface per second. These pp neutrinos, emitted when two protons fuse forming a deuteron, are particularly hard to study. The analysis reveals that the positron flux is significantly different from the electron flux of above 30GeV in energy, which suggest that positrons and electrons have a different origin. Kashmir rainfall recent, unprecedented over last few years, is an indication of extreme rainfall events likely to occur in India.
