Bernard Eastlund's Connection to HAARP

[Mick West]

Bernard Eastlund is most famously associated with HAARP because of some patents he filed for speculative uses of natural gas in Alaska.

This article on Skeptoid decribes the problems with this linkage.

http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4122

Dr. Eastlund's patent, which has since become popularly known (though inaccurately) as the "HAARP patent", is widely reproduced online, often with much commentary from authors making their own interpretations of how it might be used. Specifically, the patent involves using natural gas to generate electricity to create electromagnetic radiation to excite a tiny section of the ionosphere to about 2 electron volts, thus moving it upward along the lines of the magnetic field. The conspiracy theorists, once again, completely ignore the fact that this can only happen in the ionosphere, and they interpret it as a weather control system or earthquake generating system. Such extrapolations are without any plausible foundation.

A further disconnect in this conspiracy claim is that Dr. Eastlund's patent was for a speculative and unproven device approximately one million times as powerful as HAARP. The patent does not mention HAARP, and none of its drawings remotely resemble anything built at HAARP. For perspective, HAARP's antenna array measures about 1000 feet on a side. A device such as that imagined by Dr. Eastlund would have been 14 miles on a side, with one million antenna elements, compared to HAARP's 180. Furthermore, Dr. Eastlund left APTI to found his own company before the HAARP program began, and was never associated with the program

Eastlund did NOT invent HAARP. HAARP is just an ionospheric heater research facility. Eastlund's own patent describes such ionospheric heating as having gone on well before the 1985 patent:

In recent years, a number of experiments have actually been carried out to modify the ionosphere in some controlled manner to investigate the possibility of a beneficial result. For detailed discussions of these operations see the following papers: (1) Ionospheric Modification Theory; G. Meltz and F. W. Perkins; (2) The Platteville High Power Facility; Carrol et al.; (3) Arecibo Heating Experiments; W. E. Gordon and H. C. Carlson, Jr.; and (4) Ionospheric Heating by Powerful Radio Waves; Meltz et al., all published in Radio Science, Vol. 9, No. 11, November, 1974, at pages 885-888; 889-894; 1041-1047; and 1049-1063, respectively, all of which are incorporated herein by reference. In such experiments, certain regions of the ionosphere are heated to change the electron density and temperature within these regions. This is accomplished by transmitting from earth-based antennae high frequency electromagnetic radiation at a substantial angle to, not parallel to, the ionosphere's magnetic field to heat the ionospheric particles primarily by ohmic heating

His job was to find a use for all that natural gas in Alaska. His solution was to propose building a super large ionosphere heater - far bigger than HAARP, and to speculate on loads of interesting usages (without actually explaining how they would work), in order to make the proposal sound interesting.

It's interesting that the patent is sometime portrayed as being based on Tesla's work. But the only reference to Tesla in the entire patent is in the "Other References" section, which just says:

Liberty Magazine, (2/35) p. 7 N. Tesla.

Which is a reference to this article:

http://www.pbs.org/tesla/res/res_art11.html

Which is only a kind of interview on the most general of concepts. The only technically similar sounding thing in there is:

I want to state explicitly that this invention of mine does not contemplate the use of any so-called " death rays." Rays are not applicable because they cannot be produced in requisite quantities and diminish rapidly in intensity with distance. All the energy of New York City (approximately two million horsepower) transformed into rays and projected twenty miles, could not kill a human being, because, according to a well known law of physics, it would disperse to such an extent as to be ineffectual.


My apparatus projects particles which may.be relatively large or of microscopic dimensions, enabling us to convey to a small area at a great distance trillions of times more energy than is possible with rays of any kind. Many thousands of horsepower can thus be transmitted by a stream thinner than a hair, so that nothing can resist. This wonderful feature will make it possible, among other things, to achieve undreamed-of results in television, for there will be almost no limit to the intensity of illumination, the size of the picture, or distance of projection.

Tesla was a great showman.

If Tesla were alive today, he'd be debunking the "death meter" stuff exactly the same way he did 75 years ago with "death rays".

What he is speaking about is the inverse square law which shows how power, light, sound, etc. diminishes over distance.

Here is a humorous example:

[Mick West]

It kind of sounds like he was talking about lasers in the "Many thousands of horsepower can thus be transmitted by a stream thinner than a hair," but then he says it not a ray.

Whatever he was talking about, I think it was pretty theoretical. He was pretty much regarded as a "mad scientist" at the time, all talk and no results.

Anyway "Debunked: Tesla" is another topic

When I worked for General Electric in the late 70's a common curse would be to say, "He thinks he's some kind of 'Tesla'."

[Tim TheToolman Coles]

I am researching for a documentary that I am producing, and I could have swore that i once saw some quoted text from Eastlund himself saying that HAARP was not based off of his patents... Anyone else happen to know what I am talking about... It would be of great help... My documentary is debunking both HAARP and Chemtrails..

Thanks....

 

[Mick West]

Well, HAARP is certainly very unlike what was proposed in the patents. Eastlund's proposal used about a thousand times more energy. I would be very interested to see this quote though.

 

[Unregistered]

So,

The only thing you have Debunked here is; HAARP is not based on the Bernard Eastlund patent. ?

OK, Very Good, Thanks: )

Could you explain to me, how, HEATING large areas of the Ionosphere has ABSOLUTELY NO EFFECT on the atmosphere below?

 

[Mick West]

Because the ionosphere is basically space, but with a few charged particles whizzing around. It's practically a vacuum. "Heating" it does very little, especially when compared to the effects of the sun.

When I move my fingers, the motion has an effect on the sun because of changes in gravity. It's a small and meaningless effect, much like the effect that HAARP has on the lower atmosphere.

 

[Unregistered]

Sorry dude I read the patents, and i quote from patent US5038664
its says in the claims section(which is the most important part of the patent):
"The method of claim 6 wherein said shell is formed as an anti-missile shield"

there it is it has a military applications, which is HAARP is jointly funded by:
1-DARPA
2-US AIR FORCE
3-US Navy
4-Alaska University

you don't seriously think that the folks at HAARP would say to you that it was belt for secret military experimentation.

Here is an explanation of the association between Bernard Eastlund, ARCO, APTI, the patents, and HAARP:
This comes from eastlundscience.com, now deleted.

http://web.archive.org/web/20080829144259/http://www.eastlundscience.com/HAARP.html

INTRODUCTION
HAARP is a large phased array electromagnetic wave generator located in Alaska. The involvement of Dr.
Bernard Eastlund in its creation has been well documented in books and in magazine articles and
newspapers. During the period in which many of the books and articles were written, Dr. Eastlund was
under a 15 year confidentiality agreement with ARCO (The Atlantic Richfield Company). That confidentiality
agreement has now matured. This web site will present information regarding the development of the
ARCO patents and the founding of APTI (Now owned by AES Corporation) the corporation managing the
HAARP facility. (The ARCO patents referred to in this web site are three patents that Dr. Eastlund assigned
to ARCO because he was a consultant. They are 1) U. S. Patent 4,686,605, 4,712,155 and 5,038,664.

The web site is divided into four sections: The HAARPROOTS section presents historical material from the
early period of the development of the inventions. The ROADMAP is a compendium of most of the ideas
developed between 1984 and 1987 with ARCO. HAARP3600000WATT describes the present status of
HAARP related to the ARCO patents. The HAARPASAT section describes a potentially destabilizing
applications of missile defense and as an Anti-Satellite-Weapon. (ASAT). HAARPWEATHER discusses
potential impacts of the HAARP device on weather and weather research.

http://www.agriculturedefensecoalit...pdfs/15C_Eastlund_HAARPROOTS_History_2010.pdf

Dr. Eastlund was approached by ARCO in the Spring of 1984, and asked to invent an idea that could lead to the
sale of the 23 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in the Prudhoe Bay formation on the North Slope of Alaska. He
presented a concept for using the gas to power a large phased array electromagnetic generator and produce a
missile shield to defend the United States from missile attack by the Soviet Union. Many other ideas for
applications were developed and most of them are detailed in the ROADMAP. Many of these ideas are part of
the present DARPA managed HAARP program.

http://www.agriculturedefensecoalit..._Eastlund_Bernard_2008_ARCO_HAARP_ROADMAP.pdf

A ROADMAP FOR NORTH SLOPE GAS CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
A roadmap for North Slope Gas Development was developed in 1986. This included concepts from the original 3
ARCO patents and new ideas developed or embellished by subcontractors from Titan Systems Corporation and
SAIC Corporation. The major subsections of the roadmap were:

Ballistic Missile Shield
Strategic Space Weapon Defense
ASAT (Anti Satellite Weapon)
Satellite Corridor Formation (Van Allen Belt Drainage)
Over the Horizon (OTH) Reflector (Ionospheric Patch Formation)
Communications-ELF/VLF
Detection and Discrimination
Satellite Interrogation
Ground to Space Power Beaming (ARCO Satellite Gas Station)
Nuclear Weapons Effects Simulation
Atmospheric Modifications
Weather Modification
Environmental Modification
Space Elevator
Ballistic Missile Launch Detection (Whispering Gallery)
Synergistic Applications
Enhanced Oil Recovery

The history in HAARPSROOTS indicates progress in some of these areas. (i.e. contracts awarded) The HAARP
facility itself was an outgrowth of this road map. A generic briefing was prepared and Simon Ramo and others
helped ARCO and APTI (A wholly owned subsidiary of ARCO at that time) market various concepts. Some of
them, such as satellite corridor formation are active areas of research at the HAARP facility. Some figures that
were used during the "sales" efforts to the DOD are shown below:

Siple Station not mentioned? Why?

 

[solrey]

Siple Station not mentioned? Why?

Because Siple Station was NOT a HF vertical heating facility. Siple Station had a VLF transmitter with a 21.2 km long dipole antenna. The objective was to interact with electrons in the plasmapause, the outer boundary layer of the plasmasphere/inner magnetosphere and far above the ionosphere where HF heaters are effective.

Bernard Eastlund US Patent #4,686,605 Quote :"Weather modification is possible by, for example, altering upper atmosphere wind patterns or altering solar absorption patterns by constructing one or more plumes of atmospheric particles which will act as a lens or focusing device....A moving plume could also serve as a means for supplying a space station or for focusing vast amount of sunlight on selected portions of the earth." 39 days over 100 degrees in Dallas last year. Could that be caused by "focusing vast amounts of sunlight on selected portions of the earth?"

Could that be caused by "focusing vast amounts of sunlight on selected portions of the earth?"

No, because the amount of incoming radiation is always the same. If it were to be hotter in Dallas by more sunlight being directed to it, then it would have to be colder a few miles away, where you took the sunlight way.

(And that's assuming that atmospheric lensing is possible, which seems highly unlikely, and doubly unlikely you could do it without anyone noticing).

"1-DARPA
2-US AIR FORCE
3-US Navy
4-Alaska University"

DARPA funds thousands of large and small research projects. not all of them are weapons. darpa partially funded my highschool FIRST robotics team... We did NOT make weapons. feel free to google FIRST robotics. they funded it to get kids involved in science and engineering, because more kids in highschool getting into engineering means more young adults in college which means more adults in the United States coming up with unique technological innovations, military or not, that gives us the edge. its very very simple. darpa funds many benign projects. sometimes they will later apply the technology to wartime technologies, sometimes they will do nothing, because its never money wasted, it all goes right into USA GDP.... not everyone is out to get you, sometimes even military technology groups just care about innovation all the digital technology you have today, ALL of it came in one way or another from initial military funding. on a time, nasa was just a part of the USAF even. its the single most effective return on investment a government can make, investing in innovation and research..

Im not sure how you take issue with alaska U funding it...

An example of the ionosphere heating, if i hold i lighter a foot above a bowl of water, does the heating/rising of the air cause the water to rush up in a column to the lighter? No. because compared to the lower layer which is much more dense, the air represents nothing substantial to the water. there will be minute effects, but it may as well be a vacuum in comparison. the ionosphere really might as well be space. i dont think you understand this. the effects are about as strong, as mick points out, the gravitational effect of moving your body in relation to the sun.

then there is that whole sun thing blasting it with untold times more energy than anything we can create...

and we are talking about 2 electron volts... that is nothing.... nothing at all. you wouldnt even feel it on your skin.

keep in mind we are talking about a guy who designed something that was never made, never shown to have been workable, Im not even talking about what you think it would do, im just talking about the mundane shit it actually could have done as per reality and the paper. plus we have patents for time machines so..... He was asked to get rid of a bunch of gas, so he came up with a way to waste a ton of energy.... thats all.

 

[electrojet]

Greetings information seekers !

Let's un debunk some skeptoid mis-direction from the lead post here. The excerpt in the opening salvo contained this

...how it might be used. Specifically, the patent involves using natural gas to generate electricity to create electromagnetic radiation to excite a tiny section of the ionosphere to about 2 electron volts, thus moving it upward along the lines of the magnetic field. The conspiracy theorists, once again, completely ignore the fact that this can only happen in the ionosphere, and they interpret it as a weather control system or earthquake generating system. Such extrapolations are without any plausible foundation.

- What the ???


First it has to be noted that this is clumsily written at best. The excerpt itself works to add confusion. This is certainly worth noting. It also has to be pointed out that the skepteroid 'piece' make zero attempt to compare the patent claims with the scientific papers that actually detail accomplishments of HAARP. Lacking this type of actual real world examination of the science leaves us with what exactly? .... ?

A very sloppy examination of portions only of the patent claims as well as blatent lies and attacks on individuals rather than truthful examination of the science. I do not have the time to point out all of the errors of the skeptoid piece. I will highlight 2 of them here.

From the link is this doozy,

During the night, when the natural ionosphere is minimal, HAARP is capable of creating a weak artificial aurora that can actually be observed by sensitive cameras at the observatory, though they are far too faint for the naked eye.

Content from external source

This skeptoid piece was written in 08. Let's see if it was true when it was written. Note the hyperbole ' far too faint ' ...nice dramatic flourish. http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a460185.pdf from 2005 notes on page 2 just below the images that,

This unprecedented observation of airglow bright enough to be visible to the naked eye was detected only by the HAARP telescopic imaging system

Content from external source

Hmmm...

Second mis-direction from the piece is one of blatent ommission. Skeptoid examines the stated power of HAARP yet neglects to mention the multiplication of power that is in the Eastlund patent AND the scientific literature. In effect, HAARP does what Eastlund states it will do (woops). From; lol, relax ... it is a Stanford U published document from before Brian Dunning's woesome work http://sincedutch.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/haarp08.pdf quote;

An exciting component of the PARS ULF/ELF/VLF Project involves active generation of ULF/ELF/VLF waves by modulated HAARP HF heating. Such waves may well get amplified and lead to triggering of additional waves (i.e., at frequencies other than that is transmitted) as a result of interactions with energetic particles. Preliminary estimates indicate that once HAARP goes to full power it will be able to generate in-situ ELF/VLF wave power densities comparable to those injected from Siple Station, thus leading to initiation of well documented nonlinear effects, triggered VLF emissions, and even controlled precipitation of energetic electrons.

Content from external source

Indeed a comprehensive point by point examination of Eastlund claims next to actual ionospheric research illuminates that EASTLUND HAD AN EXCELLENT UNDERSTANDING of the physics of the ionosphere and the nuts and bolts of transmitter requirements. This is not surprising because he had a great deal of prior ionospheric research and experiments with which to draw upon. Eastlund also acknowledged in his patents that there is an energy potential that expands the currently embraced scientific paradigm. This can be either waved off with some lol death ray comments and Tesla mis direction or it can be examined in real world published scientific documents. Is there evidence of cascading electrons or not? The answer is yes there is and Tesla ( who Einstein purportedly called the greatest scientific mind of the day ) understood this.

Tesla talked with pigeons and could put on a good show. Far more importantly, He understood and modeled cascading energy.

Dunning's piece completely mis-directs about the true capabilities of HAARP in myriad ways AND the dynamic coupling of energy between the upper atmosphere and lower. My guess is Brian just really doesn't know much about meridional flows, the polar vortex and chemistry changes caused by injecting energy into the upper atmosphere. He just doesn't know.

Lotek, I love to see that you are attempting to understand the science of atmospheric alteration. For your example try adding a boundary just above the candle and a wind moving horizontally through the flame. What are the effects on the sheet just above the candle? How is the chemistry of the sheet effects? How is the wind moving horizontally effected ? How is the flow of energy just above the candle altered?

Mick, based upon the errors in Dunning's examination, what has been debunked here? Please keep in mind also that it has also been shown in the gravity wave thread that transmitters localized (though there are non linear effects/travelling) effects approach that of effects seen during high level solar events.


God bless !

Seems like the only thing you actually corrected was the visibility of the artificial auroras.

 

[electrojet]

Hi Mick,

Brian Dunning's article is not a scientific examination. If it were it would have patent claims in one column and actual results of HAARP in the other. If Brian completely lies about one claim, that is more than enough reason to cast doubt on any other assertation that he makes.


The other correction that I make is that looking at total power of HAARP is disingenuous. It is only a sliver of what actually results. This leads you and others to make fallacious statements such as

Because the ionosphere is basically space, but with a few charged particles whizzing around. It's practically a vacuum. "Heating" it does very little, especially when compared to the effects of the sun.

When I move my fingers, the motion has an effect on the sun because of changes in gravity. It's a small and meaningless effect, much like the effect that HAARP has on the lower atmosphere.

This is not scientifically accurate Mick. It really ought to be removed as it could lead others to conclude that you are not interested in truth.

The precipitation of electrons is crucial and this is a proven capability of HAARP and other transmitters. Non linear and non localized effects caused by HAARP. This is in the peer reviewed scientific literature regardless of you or your claims.

It was also shown to you that cascading electrons are an influence that is vastly greater than your claim.
I can provide multiple links. I have provided 3 at the gravity wave thread that illustrate precipitation of electrons.

Blessings,


Bryan

Seems like the only thing you actually corrected was the visibility of the artificial auroras.

The style was more Kruger than Dunning, don't you think? Especially the spelling.

Although the sentence construction: "Please keep in mind also that it has also been shown in the gravity wave thread that transmitters localized (though there are non linear effects/travelling) effects approach that of effects seen during high level solar events" would indicate either recent ECT or an explosion in a scrabble factory...

What is unscientific about "Because the ionosphere is basically space, but with a few charged particles whizzing around. It's practically a vacuum. "Heating" it does very little, especially when compared to the effects of the sun"?

What is unscientific about "When I move my fingers, the motion has an effect on the sun because of changes in gravity. It's a small and meaningless effect, much like the effect that HAARP has on the lower atmosphere"?

I have a half-century of science experience, and might well have written the above almost word-for-word because it so exactly accords with my own scientific understanding, which is a reasonable expectation when science facts are common to both of us.

But you, Mr Electrojet, are from somewhere else. Not science as is commonly understood. A fairground, maybe.

 

[Mick West]

I don't think you've shown ANY evidence that HAARP can measurably affect the lower atmosphere.

Gentlemen,

The evidence is conclusive that modifying the ionosphere effects climatic systems and weather - as in lower atmosphere weather. This is not my claim. It is seen in scientific literature extending back decades. It does not require me.

Mick, You really must not want to know that rf transmitters are modifying the lower atmosphere. Weather modification is not a thought experiment. The EISCAT job posting and other links clearly establish that alterations at 80 km modify weather and climatic circulation in the lower atmosphere. Did you read past the 'strong down welling in the polar vortex' part???
Eventually you will see it. There is stronger evidence for weather modification yet to be presented.

As an aside, I admire both Mick and Jazzy. I have gleaned much from both of them and grown in my understanding of contrails from their information.

The skeptoid is trash and not something to stand behind and proclaim as a debunking. Brian gets a lot wrong in a very short amount of writing. Standing in that wake and proclaiming that he has debunked something is not wise and it is not science. Dunning has no clue about vertical coupling processes and Eastlund is associated with HAARP. Dunning is alternately correct and then incorrect with regards to Eastlunds involvement. Dunning neglects to mention that many of Eastlund claims are already demonstrated as real in numerous scientific papers. In effect patent claims match actual modification. If Dunning misses this, then his skeptoid piece is complete junk. It is junk, standing on junk is a precarious place to perch.

Question. Does HAARP create and modify acoustic and internal gravity waves? Yes or No? __________

Jazzy, Take into account the energy and energy potential. Heating in the upper atmosphere is not the major effect, we are both familiar with the temperature in a vaccum equations, but this is not the net effect of the energetics of magnetic field lines and injecting energy into plasma sheets. Study evanescence issues, study dusty plasmas and electrical charging processes inside of plasmas. Molecular changes and energy transfer is where the action is, temperature is going to make you continue in promoting scientific inaccuracies and utilizing examples that have no relevance in ionospheric modification. Those 'few charged particles' are big business for more than a couple of reasons.

I will link 3 scientific examples of energy changes and modification that are all much more significant than Dunning or you seem to embrace. The net effects are very significant. This is not my claim, it is in the documented peer reviewed public documents.

Jazzy, I agree my spelling and word structure is woeful. I will apply a little more diligence going forward.

Peace,

Bryan

electrojet, I have a physics background and you are not convincing me of anything other than you don't really seem to understand what you are posting.

Gentlemen,

The evidence is conclusive that modifying the ionosphere effects climatic systems and weather - as in lower atmosphere weather.

If the evidence is indeed conclusive, then I think you really need to consider why you are having such a hard time communicating your message.

Why do you think that is?

This unprecedented observation of airglow bright enough to be visible to the naked eye was detected only by the HAARP telescopic imaging system

Content from external source

During the night, when the natural ionosphere is minimal, HAARP is capable of creating a weak artificial aurora that can actually be observed by sensitive cameras at the observatory, though they are far too faint for the naked eye.

1.)Those two statements say the exact same thing. However the first one i quoted is worded very poorly. Now, if you would like to understand the technology you are talking about here are some very publicly avail;able news articles that make it very obvious:

http://www.livescience.com/124-artificial-neon-sky-show-created.html

"We knew right away it was something extraordinary to show up in real time on the monitor against the natural aurora, but did not confirm that it would have been visible to the naked eye until a day or two later when we had a chance to calibrate the raw data."

-------------------------------------------------

neglects to mention the multiplication of power that is in the Eastlund patent AND the scientific literature

2.)A Theoretical patent, as many(most) are. something which has been proven many times. Can you tell me in Which non patent literature, and exactly wherein it this is stated? anything to do with an untested, unchecked patent cannot be considered evidence. at all. so please provide the second half of your statement.

---------------------------------------------------

next to actual ionospheric research illuminates that EASTLUND HAD AN EXCELLENT UNDERSTANDING

3.)What research?

---------------------------------------------------

Eastlund also acknowledged in his patents that there is an energy potential that expands the currently embraced scientific paradigm.

4.)Where is this backed up in research?

---------------------------------------------------

real world published scientific documents

5.) Where?

---------------------------------------------------

Tesla ( who Einstein purportedly called the greatest scientific mind of the day ) understood this.

6.) Meaningless appeal to authority.

--------------------------------------------------

Tesla talked with pigeons and could put on a good show. Far more importantly, He understood and modeled cascading energy.

7.) Reference please?

--------------------------------------------------

true capabilities of HAARP in myriad ways

8.) Reference for the true capabilities?

-------------------------------------------------

dynamic coupling of energy between the upper atmosphere and lower.

9 .) Source showing large enough impact to alter global climate?

-------------------------------------------------

meridional flows(a), the polar vortex(b) and chemistry changes caused by injecting energy into the upper atmosphere(c). He just doesn't know.

10.) Enlighten him. Have some sources for him? A, B, C?

-------------------------------------------------

Lotek, I love to see that you are attempting to understand the science of atmospheric alteration. For your example try adding a boundary just above the candle and a wind moving horizontally through the flame. What are the effects on the sheet just above the candle? How is the chemistry of the sheet effects? How is the wind moving horizontally effected ? How is the flow of energy just above the candle altered?

11.) You are over thinking the application of my analogy. those are not the parts of the system you were referencing an impact having been made on.

-------------------------------------------------

it has also been shown in the gravity wave thread

12.) You think very highly of your own conclusions.

-------------------------------------------------

It is only a sliver of what actually results.

13 .) Source.

-------------------------------------------------

The evidence is conclusive

14 .)
You are assuming massive variances in power levels based off superficial data and misappropriated sciences. Prove me wrong, source me into oblivion.

-------------------------------------------------

The EISCAT job posting and other links clearly establish that alterations at 80 km modify weather and climatic circulation in the lower atmosphere.

15.) Pure supposition.

-------------------------------------------------

I will link 3 scientific examples of energy changes and modification that are all much more significant than Dunning or you seem to embrace. The net effects are very significant. This is not my claim, it is in the documented peer reviewed public documents.

16.) And I hold you Nobel prize in my hand, awaiting yoru serious answers to my questions, and those (3) scientific examples.

Bear in mind they need to be legitimate examples, and not just things you find ramblingly related to the subject at hand, from which you will for the umteenth time conclude you have proved beyond doubt haarp with a weather modification device.

 

[Jazzy]

"Prove me wrong, source me into oblivion." - I wish I had written that.

 

[Jazzy]

The evidence is conclusive that modifying the ionosphere effects climatic systems and weather - as in lower atmosphere weather.

What we observe points the other way.

The Sun is the biggest effector of our atmosphere there is, and what we see (apart from its illumination) is that the Earth's magnetic field PROTECTS the earth from the solar particle stream, and the oxygen in the earth's atmosphere PROTECTS the earth from solar high frequency EM, at least up to the poles.

High frequency EM, no matter what emits it, or where it is produced, is heavily absorbed by earth's atmosphere. Wherever that absorption takes place, the involved molecules/ions will simply speed up a little.

A thought experiment for you. How many times is the Sun more energetic than HAARP? A haha amount, no? Then how many times smaller than that must the effect of HAARP be?

rf transmitters are modifying the lower atmosphere

No.

Weather modification is not a thought experiment.

It's a truther thought experiment.

The EISCAT job posting and other links clearly establish that alterations at 80 km modify weather and climatic circulation in the lower atmosphere.

To what extent?

Did you read past the 'strong down welling in the polar vortex' part?

Forewarned now for strong upwelling in throat.

I admire both Mick and Jazzy.

We must meet someday. That would disappoint you.

has no clue about vertical coupling processes

That is interesting behavior, but it doesn't extend beneath the thermopause.

Question. Does HAARP create and modify acoustic and internal gravity waves? Yes or No?

Not measurably.

Molecular changes and energy transfer is where the action is

Energy transfer is the point. A PAUSE is a point of energy cut-off. In the atmosphere there are TWO of them: the tropoPAUSE and the thermoPAUSE. These are places where ENERGY TRANSFER STOPS.

I will apply a little more diligence going forward.

Great. Begin with NOT writing "vaccum" for "vacuum". LOL. I like you too.

 

[solrey]

A little perspective on the energies involved.

Even if all the transmitted power from the IRI was absorbed by the ionosphere it would take more than 33,000 HAARP-scale IRIs, transmitting simultaneously to account for just 1 percent of the auroral ionosphere's energy budget. Another way of showing the vast difference between the amount of energy that would be dissipated in the atmosphere by the HAARP transmissions and natural processes is through a comparison of the local dissipation power in terms of power densities. The maximum power density of the IRI transmitted waves would be about 30 milliwatts per square meter (mW/m2) at 50 miles altitude decreasing to 1 mW/m2 at 186 miles altitude in the F region. In comparison, the densities of power dissipated by an aurora could exceed 2 W/m2, or roughly 2000 times greater then the expected maximum dissipation due to the absorption of the HAARP high frequency transmissions in the F region. Even the daily absorption of solar radiation easily exceeds the most intense, low altitude HAARP-ionduced energy deposition rate by a factor of ten.

Compare to data on the effects of a solar storm on the thermosphere.

For the three day period, March 8th through 10th, the thermosphere absorbed 26 billion kWh of energy. Infrared radiation from CO2 and NO, the two most efficient coolants in the thermosphere, re-radiated 95% of that total back into space.
[..]
Footnote: (1) No one on Earth’s surface would have felt this impulse of heat. Mlynczak puts it into perspective: “Heat radiated by the solid body of the Earth is very large compared to the amount of heat being exchanged in the upper atmosphere. The daily average infrared radiation from the entire planet is 240 W/m2—enough to power NYC for 200,000 years.”

The amount of energy transmitted by HAARP is miniscule compared to the amount of solar energy absorbed in the thermosphere. When the thermosphere "puffs up like a marshmallow" from solar activity, it expands OUTWARD into the vacuum of space rather than push downward against the denser atmosphere below. Not a single scientific study has concluded that heating the thermosphere has an effect on weather or global circulation patterns.

And Bryan, you apparently don't understand what downwelling in the polar vortex actually means.
