Japan Quake May Have Struck Atmosphere First

They are saying the ionosphere showed disruptions BEFORE the earth's crust. That makes no sense, unless......hmmmmmm-- it starts with H.


The devastating earthquake that struck Japan this year may have rattled the highest layer of the atmosphere even before it shook the Earth, a discovery that one day could be used to provide warnings of giant quakes, scientists find.

The magnitude 9.0 quake that struck off the coast of Tohoku in Japan in March ushered in what might be the world's first complex megadisaster as it unleashed a catastrophic tsunami and set off microquakes and tremors around the globe.

Scientists recently found the surface motions and tsunamis this earthquake generated also triggered waves in the sky. These waves reached all the way to the ionosphere, one of the highest layers of the Earth's atmosphere.

Now geodesist and geophysicist Kosuke Heki at Hokkaido University in Japan reports the Tohoku quake also may have generated ripples in the ionosphere before the quake struck.

Disruptions of the electrically charged particles in the ionosphere lead to anomalies in radio signals between global positioning system satellites and ground receivers, data that scientists can measure.

Heki analyzed data from more than 1,000 GPS receivers in Japan. He discovered a rise of approximately 8 percent in the total electron content in the ionosphere above the area hit by the earthquake about 40 minutes before the temblor. This increase was greatest about the epicenter and diminished with distance away from it.

The CYA 'science' has begun.

The 'Create Your Answers' science??

I'm guessing 'Cover Your A$$'.

I'm also guessing the donkey'$ ear$ end up $ticking out ... ain't ever been a tarp big enough to contain those. (Methinx we could use a braying emoticon on the good forum.)

ps: Not just the H-word, Pillars ... but Jim Stone's findings of Richter Scale type readings that were higher inland than on the coast (which is closer to the alleged epicenter).

Not necessairly.

It is well known fact that volcano eruptions are always accompanied with electromagnetic phenomena:
2425

This is also true to tectonic faults. Always increased EM activity.

It is partly due rocks that composite crust being actually magnetically-charged.

Anyway: the low level EM-pulse always precedes quakes, volcano eruptions and other such events. This is why creatures sensitive to EM field changes - like birds - clear the area.
This same effect can bring ionosphere change over the area - it is after all prone to reflect em waves - studying which phenomenon is the stated goal of H.

Question though: what if it is EM phenomenon that is the cause, and the material "even" is a reflection?

And then consider this bit of info: Well known oracles and areas of increased "psychic" activity are associated with fault lines, that ride under them . Well known Delphi oracle sits on top of fault lines intersection.

This is nice can of worms, no?

Anyway- that does not mean H-like installation was not involved - it only means it does not operate on brute force, but rather by amplification of already-existing "oscillations" ;)

Yes, perhaps it is also directly related to the phenomena called "Earthquake Lights (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake_light)". The phenomena has been reported long before the invention of any nuclear bomb or harp.

You got it, Earthquake Lights are no longer mythical and likely is what is being reported above.

Until recently, earthquake lights were folklore. For centuries people have reported rare flashes, glows and various fireworks associated with large earthquakes, but science can't do much with eyewitness stories. (Indeed, some argue that they may be hallucinations.) After lights were photographed in Japan during a month-long earthquake swarm in the mid-1960s, and other careful observations were made elsewhere in the world, earthquake specialists had something to chew on.


Earthquake lights occur before, during and after earthquakes. They are cool and quiet, colored white or blue or red. They are usually dim, but sometimes are brighter than moonlight.
They take various forms: globes, bands, rays, sheets, clouds. They tend to rise from the ground. They have been reported at sea. They may flicker or shine steadily. They may be silent or accompanied by a crackling or bristling sound. Sometimes light boils from the ground like flames. They may be as brief as lightning or glow for several minutes.
Earthquake lights have been accompanied by low-frequency radio noise in the 10 to 20 kHz range.
Earthquake lights have been seen weeks before or after earthquakes and hundreds of kilometers from the epicenter. They are more common in areas of hard, crystalline rocks and near dip-slip rather than strike-slip faults.

Oh, yes, of course, you're right! It was late....

And Luke and Richard, thank you for your well-educated information. Sounds like there could be an explanation for it.
