( Natural News ) Scientists are baffled over a strange series of ripples that were observed in Earth’s atmosphere following the recent eruption of the Tongan volcano.
Satellite imagery shows an unusual pattern of gravity waves that has not been seen in the past with volcanic eruptions. Could it be that some type of weaponry was involved to provoke the recent eruption in Tonga?
“It’s really unique,” commented Lars Hoffman, an atmospheric scientist at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre in Germany. “We have never seen anything like this in the data before.”
The discovery was made in images collected by the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS), which is mounted on NASA’s Aqua satellite. It captured the waves in the hours after the eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha?apai volcano on January 14.
Dozens of concentric circles could be seen, each representing a fast-moving wave in atmospheric gases that stretched for more than 16,000 kilometers. These waves reached from the ocean’s surface all the way up to the ionosphere.
Reseachers also believe that these waves traveled around the globe several times before dissipating.
“This instrument has been operating for something like 20 years now and we have never seen such nice concentric wave patterns,” Hoffman added. Were nuclear weapons involved with the Tongan volcano eruption?
Atmospheric gravity waves occur when air molecules in the atmosphere distribute vertically as opposed to horizontally. This can happen when wind picks up speed and rises over a mountaintop, for instance, or as a result of convection in local weather systems. The up-and-down waves transfer energy and momentum through the atmosphere, often showing their effects as ripples in high clouds.In the case of the Tongan volcano, it could be that the rapid updraft of hot air and ash from the eruption triggered these waves, though on a much larger scale. However, nothing […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
