Pole Shift Data Coverup – 2012

The NOAA National Geophysical Data Center has updated (revised – massaged) their magnetic north pole-shift positional data and has projected the location of the pole through 2015. The pole shift, if you will, continues to race along in the same direction since it dramatically accelerated back in the mid 1990′s. But…

NOAA made some significant and apparently linear changes to the pole location data going back to the years 2001 through 2010. The most noticeable result of the changes that they made was an overall linear slow down of the shift during the past decade, although still currently high at 30 miles per year. They have projected positional data through 2015 and have slowed the pace of movement each subsequent year from 30 miles (2012) to 24 miles (2015).

No apparent reason for the change was listed. A 10 year change nonetheless! Given the fact that they suddenly changed their previously posted data of the previous decade to indicate a slower pole-shift progression, they are now able to project a slowing trend through 2015. If it were not for changing their own data, they would not have been able to project this trend through 2015. It is beginning to look like the USGS, who when they change their earthquake magnitude numbers, they always (95% of the time) revise them downward. The revisions made are always in a ‘less alarming’ direction.

The following map shows the position of the magnetic north pole, and its shift since 1977. Read here for the past 400 years of magnetic north pole shift. Clearly it can be seen where the annual pole location begins to spread during the mid 1990′s when the acceleration rapidly increased.

The following image plot shows the comparison between the original magnetic north pole locations and now the new revised locations (2001 onward) from NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration).

While this could be the result of a NOAA factoring error of some sort, one wonders why it wasn’t caught at any other time between 2001 and today. It took 10 years to find it? Hmmm…

Or, could this be a coverup to slow the progress of the messaging from the pole shift advocates out there?

I suppose we won’t know the truth until the pole flip.

Note this author does not know for certain if NOAA themselves changed the numbers, or if the data set is from another source prior to NOAA processing. We also do not know the details why the change, as it is not apparently publicized. This is simply an observation and opinion.

Proof Of Magnetic Pole Shift (Reversal)

Image credit: NOAA National Geophysical Data Center

Pole Reversal evidence is clearly shown in NOAA’s new data from the National Geophysical Data Center, named “EMAG2″ Earth Magnetic Anomaly Grid (2-arc-minute resolution).

The map colors represent the direction of magnetism of the crustal surface rock (0 – 30 miles deep) as compared to the direction of magnetism of the earth’s core field deep below. The largest portion of the Earth’s magnetic field is generated in the Earth’s core, while magnetized rocks in the crust and upper mantle also make a significant contribution.

This map tells it all.

The way it works is…
New crust forms about 1 inch per year in many places, and during this process and as magnetic minerals cool below 1,100 degrees F, they develop a magnetic field and direction the same as the the strong core field beneath. This is ‘pretty cool’ because we can then ‘see’ the various fields and their magnetic ‘directions’ by way of data-mapping the magnetic fields of the surface crust and upper mantle.

Here’s how to interpret the colors on the map…
The red-to-purple areas indicate magnetic fields of the surface to be in the same direction as the core field, creating a ‘positive anomaly’. The blue-to-black areas indicate where the magnetic fields on the surface oppose the core field, resulting in a ‘negative anomaly’.

Yellow, white and light-blue indicate areas in which the surface field is either very weak, or is in the same direction as the (stronger) core field.

What to look for…
On the ocean floor ridges you can clearly see stripes of uniformly magnetized crust on each side of a ridge. Every few hundred thousand years the core field reverses direction, and the next set of stripes therefore acquires the opposite direction of magnetization. This is clearly visible in EMAG2 as striped patterns which are symmetric about the ridges and appear as opposing colors of red-purple to blue-black.

Wikipedia:

The cataclysmic pole shift hypothesis suggests that there have been geologically rapid shifts in the relative positions of the modern-day geographic locations of the poles and the axis of rotation of the Earth, creating calamities such as floods and tectonic events. Between approximately 790 and 810 million years ago, when the supercontinent Rodinia existed, two geologically-rapid phases of true polar wander may have occurred. In each of these, the Earth rotated ~55°

Are we overdue for a magnetic pole shift? Many say yes.

Do we know how quickly the pole shift will occur? No we do not. Many believe it is a very slow process, while others believe it to be much quicker.

Do we know the consequences of a magnetic pole shift? There is (are) the obvious issues with navigation methods that may still use magnetic compass. Many believe that earth stresses will occur resulting in dramatic earthquake and volcanic activity and some believe that during a magnetic shift that the surface of the earth will be highly vulnerable to solar radiation which is typically kept in check from the earth’s magnetic field.

Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly Signaling Disaster?

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Geophysical Data Center reveals a magnetic crustal field model of the earth which shows a magnetic anomaly in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, which when coupled with other local data, raises an eyebrow of wonder…

There are a number of areas across the planet where there appear to be boundaries of extremes while mapping the crustal magnetic field strength. The boundary off the north coast of Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic for example reveal opposing magnetic field differences of +200 nT to -200 nT within short distances, which follow a clear path along the ocean floor.

‘nT’ stands for nanotesla. The tesla is a unit of magnetic field strength.

A Google Earth map of the ocean floor region north of Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico, when compared with the region of positive-to-negative flipped magnetic field strength, shows a boundary region of seafloor which is geographically fairly steep.

Looking at some of the historical earthquakes in the region as reported from the IRIS earthquake monitor, there is an obvious region of very high earthquake activity off the coast of Puerto Rico which itself is located along a very steep seafloor ridge or trench. Could we be looking at an eventual disaster in this region?

The Puerto Rico trench hazard could someday result in a horrific collapse, a submarine landslide, and would produce a tremendous tsunami in the region which would spread widely across that part of the Atlantic ocean.


How to prepare for a tsunami?
Have a plan how you would escape to higher ground, or further inland. If you’ve already thought about it and planned a route, and you recognize the onset of the tsunami, so long as you beat the crowd you will probably be OK. Know how to recognize that a tsunami is about to happen (major earthquake while on the coast – or water withdrawing rapidly away from the coast).


The regions of earth’s crustal magnetism that have negative field strength boundaries that are directly adjacent to positive field strength areas, may or may not have any real-world effects, but it is interesting to look at and to think about how it may relate with other geophysical attributes of the region.

Pole Shift, Southeast U.S. Worst Affected

Magnetic Pole Shift:

The annual rate of change of magnetic pole shift, as calculated by the British Geological Survey Geomagnetism Team and the NOAA National Geophysical Data Center, indicates that the southeast United States is evidently affected the most each year (calculations through 2015) as well as northeastern South America.

The magnetic north pole is rapidly drifting towards Russia while the effects are being felt in the U.S. and elsewhere. So far, the effects have included some airport runway number changes (the number is assigned based on the compass heading the runway is pointed to, multiplied by ten). No doubt that many navigational charts and maps will be edited in the years to come.

Some say that rapid changes in the orientation of the magnetic poles can create problems with animals – birds – insects (bees) that rely on the magnetic pole orientation in their travels and behavior.

Given the rate at which the magnetic north pole movement has increased during the last few years, I thought it would be interesting to overlay two plots of magnetic ‘rate of change’ (north-south and east-west, or,  the X-Y components), so to discover if their are overlapping regions of high rates of change. This would indicate that those regions are being affected the most by the current magnetic pole shift.

As it turns out, there is a large swath of tightly contoured, overlapping high rate of change, that stretches from around Wisconsin – Indiana down through the southeast U.S., and continues all the way through northeastern South America.

If there is such a thing as magnetic stress as it relates to the speed at which the magnetic field is changing in both the X and Y components, then this simple chart overlay indicates where that is.

In today’s world of GPS navigation, you could say that it doesn’t matter much to us humans. You might say that a few degrees of magnetic shift is only an additional calculation to be made while reading older maps. But who’s to say what effects may be occurring elsewhere. Fault zones? What about the underlying cause of our shifting poles… the mechanism that is causing this could be the same mechanism that causes other things to occur – changes in the Earth’s inner dynamo.

One could speculate all they want about how to interpret the data. So, here is some data that is interesting to look at it. Make with it what you may.

Pole Shift: North Races, South Crawls

Permalink

While the speed of the earth’s magnetic north pole shift has drastically sped up lately to about 34 miles per year (55 km), let’s look at what is happening with the south magnetic pole.

Every magnetic field has two polarities, North and South for example, and one might think that whatever is happening with one pole would be happening (in the inverse?) to it’s opposite pole.

Well as it appears, the earth’s magnetic south pole is not behaving similarly to it’s opposite north pole. In fact, it’s drift, or pole shift, is actually slowing down! Presently it’s only moving 3 miles (5 km) per year, only a tenth the speed of the north!

(Pole coordinate data sourced from NOAA’s National Geophysical Data Center)

http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag/data/poles/SP.xy

Not only that, but it is interesting to note that both the north and south magnetic poles are favoring one side of the earth – the south pole is heavily favoring one side, and continues to move further away from true south.

The south magnetic pole is actually 1,800 miles (2,900 km) away from the earth’s true south pole! That is a substantial offset.

The north magnetic pole is fairly near true north and is ‘only’ about 360 miles (580 km) away.

When the earth is visualized with its magnetic poles more offset and favored towards one side of the planet than the other (which it has been for some time – although the south magnetic pole is moving even further to the favored side), coupled with the large variance in shift speed between the north and south, explanations may seem bizarre.

Since we know that the earth’s magnetic field is generated from the spinning liquid molten iron Outer Core (encapsulating a solid iron Inner Core), is one part of the Outer core churning differently than the other?

Could the Outer Core, or part of it, be offset somehow, causing the magnetic pole axis to pass through one side of the planet more than the other? Wouldn’t that cause the planet to wobble?

Is the iron consistency changing in one part of the Outer Core more than the other?

If the Outer Core is ‘centered’ with the rest of the earth, and the molten iron composition is considered to be relatively consistent, do these observations indicate that the magnetic axis is actually bending or warping as it passes through the planet?


These are all interesting things to think about (for some of us), and while being just a logical minded casual observer, there is no doubt that these earth changes are powerful ones – even if only occurring relative to the time frame of the planets life.

Take a look at the following graph and see the extreme difference in North versus South Pole Shift speed since about 1930. As they say, a picture’s worth a thousand words…
Something’s happening up north…

As you can see, I spent a lot of time on graphics today
Observe the magnetic pole axis tilt, and the fairly precise indication to the part of the planet that is favored more-so by proximity to the magnetic axis.

Could crustal movements, earthquakes and volcanoes be affected differently on this side of the planet than the other? The location is certainly right on top of the pacific ring of fire, and very near the general vicinity of Indonesia (most active volcanoes in the world), and located in the part of the world that gets the majority of earthquakes. It could purely coincidental, but who’s to say…

Checked your compass lately??




Update,

The liquid part of the earth’s core is the outer core, the inner core is believed to consist of solid iron, nickel and traces of heavy elements. An assumption that many people make, is that the transition between the inner and outer core is smooth like the transition between the layers of an onion.

This is completely incorrect, the transition between these two structures is very complex, being a mixture of solid, liquid and in-between states which may be 10s or hundreds of miles thick. This, and the Coriolis effect gives rise to very complex eddy currents within the liquid outer core which in turn create a very complex magnetic field which is constantly changing.

Many texts approximate the earth’s magnetic field as a bar magnet located between the two geographic poles, but this is an over simplification with the true magnetic field being very hard to describe.

It is true that at this time the predominant field direction in the northern hemisphere is north, but the strength of this field varies significantly from location to location. If you investigate the magnetic field you will find that there are areas of north polarity (and always have been) in the southern hemisphere and likewise areas of south polarity in the northern hemisphere.
