SOuL Searchers Weather Station

The weather, including solar and lunar activity, is known to play a role in increased paranormal activity. For more information please read Weather and Geothermic Conditions that Affect Paranormal Activity in the SOuL Searchers Articles section.

Moon Phases



CURRENT MOON
The "Current Moon" module above left shows an accurate representation of the moon phase and can be set to northern or southern hemisphere views of the moon, using the little hemisphere symbol beside the time. (If the moon phase does not show you will need to get Java.) "Lunar Informer", above right, shows the astrological sign and VOC status but only uses northern hemisphere illustrations which represent an approximation of the appearance of the moon.

Geomagnetic Field and Solar Activity Monitors

The geomagnetic field is the magnetic field observed in and around the earth. The intensity of the magnetic field at the earth's surface is approximately 0.32 gauss at the equator and 0.62 gauss at the north pole. A geomagnetic storm is a worldwide disturbance of the earth's magnetic field, distinct from regular diurnal variations. Scroll to the bottom of the page for more information about each module displayed below.

Current Summary

The "Current Summary" image above shows the current geomagnetic field status, X-Ray flux status, and moon data. The Geomagnetic Field Status is calculated by downloading Kp indexes for the past 24 hours. The Kp index is a measurement of how much the planetary geomagnetic field deviated from the normal "quiet day" index, its value ranges from 0 (no deviation) to 9 (large deviations). A Kp of less than 4 is considered Quiet, Kp = 4 is Unsettled, and Kp >= 5 is Storm level. Storm level is then broken down into five levels, G1 through G5 (Kp=5 is G1, Kp=6 is G2, and so on). Many people believe that days with a larger Kp index have more paranormal activity than quiet days.

Solar X-Rays is a measure of electromagnetic flux levels in the .1 to .8 nanometer spectrum (Long wave). In order of magnitude, these levels can be Normal, Active, M-Class Flare, and X-Class Flare. Furthermore, the M and X-Class levels are broken down into divisions, M having 9 divisions (M1 through M9), and X having 20 divisions (X1 through X20). These values can tell us when solar flares are heading toward Earth, which often trigger geomagnetic storms within 36 hours of the X-Ray Flare. If you see a spike in the X-Ray Flux graph, keep an eye out on the geomagnetic field status, as there is a good change a storm will occur soon.

Geomagnetic Forecast

The image above shows a forecast of good days for potential paranormal activity. The SEC (Space Environment Center) issues a daily forecast of expected maximum geomagnetic Ap values for the next 45 days. This data is downloaded, converted to Kp values, and any days that are expected to have levels of Kp = 4 or above (Unsettled or Storm levels) are included in the forecast. Though it is hard to predict future days of geomagnetic fluctuations, it's worth noting on your calendar any days in which a geomagnetic storm is expected. Also included are the dates for the next full and new moons and a current moon image, as many people consider full/new moon days increase paranormal activity. This image makes a great way to plan future investigation dates!

About the Solar X-ray status monitor
The Solar X-ray status monitor downloads data periodically from the NOAA Space Environment Center FTP server. The previous 24 hours of 5 minute Long-wavelength X-ray data from each satellite (GOES 8 and GOES 10) is analyzed, and an appropriate level of activity for the past 24 hours is assigned as follows:

NORMAL: Solar X-ray flux is quiet (<1.00e-6 W/m^2)
ACTIVE: Solar X-ray flux is active (>= 1.00e-6 W/m^2)
M CLASS FLARE: An M Class flare has occurred (X-ray flux >= 1.00e-5 W/m^2)
X CLASS FLARE: An X Class flare has occurred (X-ray flux >= 1.00e-4 W/m^2)
MEGA FLARE: An unprecedented X-ray event has occurred (X-ray flux >= 1.00e-3 W/m^2).

About the Geomagnetic Field status monitor
QUIET: the Geomagnetic Field is quiet (Kp<4)
ACTIVE: the Geomagnetic Field has been unsettled (Kp=4)
STORM: A Geomagnetic Storm has occurred (Kp>4)
