UNITED STATES:

Pic by Cassandra Eichner of a Pyrocumulonimbus Cloud (PyroCB) taken over the Pacific Northwest on 08AUG2019, during the FIREX-AQ field campaign from the cockpit of the NASA DC-8 aircraft. 

Between July and September 2019 the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, NASA, and other federal agencies, conducted studies of pyrocumulonimbus (PyroCbs) clouds.  The PyroCbs (pyro means fire) are formed by intense wildfires, NASA calls them “the fire-breathing dragon of clouds.”  

PyroCbs were first identified in the late 1990s, while scientists were trying to find out what was causing clouds in the upper atmosphere when the ‘natural’ weather conditions weren’t correct for such formations and there was no volcanic activity.  Since then studies show such dragon clouds can pump as much particulates into the upper atmosphere as a volcano: “They act as giant chimneys, transporting smoke from the ground to high altitudes. Intense PyroCbs can inject smoke into the lower stratosphere, where it can persist for weeks or months.”-Dave Peterson, Naval Research Laboratory, one of the first meteorologists to notice the PryoCbs phenomenon in the late 1990s

The data collected from the 2019 FIREX-AQ missions is now being studied to see how cloud water droplets and ice particles change in the presence of smoke.

AUSTRALIA:  If you look at my past Pacific Ring of Fire postings you’ll realize that the U.S. and Aussie militaries conduct disaster training operations through out the year.  The question I have is why does the deployment of the Aussie military, during these unprecedented fires, seem so ineffective?

Here’s an economic reality check to Australia’s disaster preparedness: 70-thousand Aussie firefighters are not paid, not even for food or fuel!!!

Apparently humans should be blamed for the unprecedented fires because they were operating under the same bogus ‘save the forest’ mentality as the U.S.; don’t touch anything and let everything grow unchecked (the natives in the U.S. didn’t do that, that’s why the landscape seemed so pristine to the invading Europeans): There’s only one way to make bushfires less powerful: take out the stuff that burns

COLOMBIA:  And for more proof you can’t blame humans for climate change, anybody remember the TV show Space 1999?  Turns out the Moon is being pushed from the Earth right, although slowly and not by nuclear waste explosion, but the catastrophic climate change results are the same as in Space 1999: “Earth’s tidal strength is gradually pushing the moon away from us at a rate of about 3 centimeters a year. Therefore, the moon is indeed a potential ploonet once it reaches an unstable orbit.”-Mario Sucerquia, University of Antioquia

The U.S. Navy conducted ‘subject matter expert exchanges’ with Colombian counterparts, including a FEMA Disaster Training course.  The object is to unify disaster response techniques: “It’s cool to see the differences in how we perform similar treatments. We are picking up different ideas from each other, which will improve our abilities, and this training will allow us to integrate easily when we operate jointly.”-Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Dennis Hueston

Upcoming Latino online news format mitú admitted that many Californians don’t speak English and that disaster response announcements failed to consider that, they also made fun of the stupid ‘white’ people’s reaction to the big quakes: “Some Latinos questioned the dramatic reactions of others, since Latin America knows earthquakes all too well.” (I’m not Latino, but having lived through many big quakes in Iran in the early 1970s and in California in the early 1990s, I agree with mitú’s assessment)

A study published by Science Advances claims that you can determine if you’re experiencing a major magnitude 7 to 9 quake 10 seconds into the shaking. I’ve experienced dozens of earthquakes in my life, both large and small, and I concur there is a noticeable difference in the M6 and large quakes; if you’re directly over the epicenter the Earth heaves under your feet, I’ve seen people literally thrown straight up into the air by a couple of feet (I was sitting in a parked minivan at the time and it bounced violently, as if we were off-roading at 30mph.)  If you’re on the periphery of a major quake it feels like a giant dog has grabbed you and is trying to shake you to death.
