Tropical Anticyclones and the Five Day Wave

There is an earthquake forecaster in India who is probably as unknown as I am although I believe he has at least had an audience with an head of state. So maybe better known than I, not that I am jealous.

He has an home made observatory, based in Coimbatore, that consists of a simple steel ladder bolted into concrete top and bottom. such a set-up would mean that the ladder, not being free to move would bend according to the time of day and according to the heat of the sun.

In the sunny climes of Coimbatore the ladder would flex less on cold sunny days than it would on warm sunny days. ad that is the principle the observer noted some years ago that brought about a strange phenomenon.

What gave him the insight I can't say but he noticed that on the days the shadow of the ladder reached a certain spot on his wall there was a liability to earthquakes. From this singularity he was able to produce forecasts.

If you happen to live in Nevada or some such sunny place you too could construct such an observatory. Only in your case it would be on a south facing wall rather than a north facing wall as is the need in the southern hemisphere.





I don't live in a sunny country. I have to make do with the best I can which means weather charts for me and my anomalies are less spectacular. Bit no less productive:

This is a couple of days later but notice the difference:




That lighter mass of lines is a change in the mask of isobars presented in a matter of two days. In both our observatories we managed to notice a difference produced by the sunlight.
