hi everyone welcome back to my channel if you're new here my name is Stefan and as you can see we
have yet another coronal hole that's opened up on the sun this being the third coronal hole in the
past few weeks and this is significant because sequences of coronal holes in the high speed
streams that they emit lead to Giant earthquakes if we look at our data from 1980 to 2018 magnitude
8.3 and greater we see these earthquakes here the most significant during that time frame
all of them were preceded by sequences of cornal holes and high-speed streams the 9.1 Great Tohoku
Earthquake of Japan that triggered the Fukushima meltdown that saw a sequence of coronal holes and
high speed streams in the weeks prior to its rupture we also saw that same sequence with
the 9.1 Sumatra earthquake in 2004 which had that devastating tsunami through Indonesia
and in this video we are going to talk about how Colonel holes and high-speed streams can load the
Earth with energy why that's significant right now and what we can maybe expect going forward
we're looking at the first coronal hole of this recent sequence here this is also the largest
coronal hole so far and a coronal hole if you don't know is an area of lower temperature dark
plasma and from this region emits a high-speed stream of solar wind which contains coherent
plasma waves and structures very strong High amplitude waves which then can load the Earth
with a lot of energy and that's what we saw with this coronal hole because it triggered the largest
geomagnetic storm of the past six years through its high-speed stream it was a G4 on a scale of
one to five if we look at the black line there that's a measure of our total field strength for
the interplanetary magnetic field it went all the way up to 20. normally it's around five or so and
then the vertical component the red line went sharply negative which means that there was a
greater ability for the interplanetary magnetic field to connect and couple with the Earth's
magnetosphere allowing transfer of energy from the interplanetary magnetic field into the Earth
system and of course the main thing feeding energy into the interplanetary magnetic field
is the Sun so in effect what you have is a very large extremely energetic object loading a lot
of energy into very tiny little planet our planet the Earth we can see how strong this geomagnetic
storm was by looking at the DST Index this is a measure of geomagnetic volatility like the Kp but
collected from magnetometers in the equatorial regions and you can see we dropped all the way
to negative 170 nanotesla so that's a very strong geomagnetic storm that we had back on the 23rd and
24th of March and normally a coronal hole will drop the DST to about negative 50. the range is
like negative 35 to negative 80 nanoteslas or so it can go beyond that and that's what we saw with
this one now this is important because during a geomagnetic storm you get a drop in electron flux
in the outer electron belts these are extremely energetic electrons traveling near the speed of
light they have a capability of breaking many molecular bonds if they interact with something
a geomagnetic storm will drop those electrons down but then they'll rise back up to baseline or even
enhance after a geomagnetic storm and that's what we're seeing after this storm also after
this second geomagnetic storm that we saw from coronal hole number two you can see it here not
as large more equatorial but still also triggered a geomagnetic storm high speed streams are one of
the primary loaders of energy into the Earth and into the lithosphere because they contain coherent
plasma wave structures what we're looking at here is a representation of an alfven wave
and so we're looking at a magnetic field with a bunch of different magnetic field vectors there
and you can see this gentle undulation across the magnetic field that's the Alvin wave what
was discovered in the 50s is that plasma can have wave Dynamics similar liquids in fact these waves
can be more complex and dynamic than those found in liquids so you can see if there are energetic
ions moving along this magnetic field gradient if the alfven wave is in the same direction then
it doesn't really alter the movement of these ions all that much these can be protons these
could be electrons what have you but if the album wave is like a sheer album wave and it's moving
in a different direction then you can get these energetic ions trapped in these zones of lower
magnetic field strength even though these ions might have different full velocities and different
energy levels and then this can create a sweeping motion of energy continuously as the wave travels
on so with a high speed stream from a coronal hole what that means is you can have continuous loading
of large amplitude alfven waves for a long period of time into whatever system it's interacting with
and right now we have three coronal holes in a row interacting with the Earth which leads
to things like those giant earthquakes so if we look at that earthquake map there from 1980
to 2018 we had that sequence of coronal holes and high speed streams before the 9.1 there
the great Tohoku the 9.1 Sumatra 8.8 in Chile and we are seeing that same sequence of events right
now if we look at our real-time solar wind data mag and solar for the past 30 days there's that
G4 storm right there there's that second coronal hole geomagnetic storm right there not nearly as
strong it was much smaller in size but we can see that the geomagnetic volatility is still
enhanced we haven't dropped down to you know one or two or zero or anything we're still up in the
twos the threes the fours so the Earth right now is experiencing a lot of geomagnetic stress and
energetic loading and we're seeing interesting pre-earthquake signals show up as well we have
strong electromagnetic activity in these Schumann resonances actually going even beyond the Schumann
resonances if we look here we had some bursts of electromagnetic activity going all the way
from zero to sixteen hundred Hertz and Above This is highly anomalous this occurred on the 4th of
April you can see this very strong burst right there and if we go here we can get a Zone in
on some of that going from zero to 105 Hertz this is all collected in Cumiana Italy by the
VLF group so we've had some very interesting High amplitude electromagnetic signals in
the elf spectrum and Beyond we're having if we go back to our electron flux we're seeing our
electron flux is well elevated above the alert threshold which means that there's very strong
electromagnetic Potentials in the radiation belts creating strong electromagnetic Potentials in the
ionosphere and therefore also in the lithosphere right now there are a whole bunch of forces that
are coinciding that are loading the Earth with a lot of energy this third coronal hole is the
most recent in a sequence of coronal holes that will cause a geomagnetic storm on the earth this
will probably start to impact Us in the next few days so be aware of that I'll keep you updated
as best as I can but we may see some significant earthquake activity as a result because we have
all the different variables in line we have the sequence of coronal holes and high speed streams
we have anomalous electromagnetic activity in the frequency zones associated with large earthquakes
so I wanted to give you a heads up on all that if you like the video please click that like button
subscribe to stay up to date on all this and more if you've been feeling biologically unstable and
this has been affecting your health because of all the geomagnetic instability then I recommend
you practice some grounding get outside if you can align your circadian rhythm to the normal
geophysical rhythms of the earth I have some resources in the video description for you there
and I hope to see you all in future videos thanks so much for watching and have a great day ciao
