Signs of Horrific New Solar Cycle to Begin
Mitch Battros
As heard “live” on the ECM/ECTV “Radio Hour”, Dr. Mausumi Dikpati research scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado disclosed for the first time on national and international air-waves, “Cycle 24 will be up to 50% stronger than the current cycle (Cycle 23)”. Cycle 23 delivered the largest solar flare ‘ever recorded’. The November 4th 2003 solar flare was estimated to be an X-45. Up until this time, all measuring instruments stopped at X-9.

Sunspots are planet-sized magnets created by the Sun's inner magnetic dynamo. Like all magnets in the Universe, sunspots have north (N) and south (S) magnetic poles. The sunspot of July 31st popped up at solar longitude 65o W, latitude 13o S. sunspots in that area are normally oriented N-S. The newcomer, however, was S-N, opposite the norm.
Scientists are still debating if this latest sunspot reversal is in fact the tale-tell sign a new cycle has begun. As we know, sunspots last several days and often survive passing through the ‘far-side’ of the Sun giving the sunspot a longer life which could last a month or more. This July 31st event only lasted three hours giving some researchers a “wait- and-see” posture.
The revving up of this new solar cycle will take several months to begin to show its true power. The “apex” or ‘maximum’ should be towards the end of 2011-2012. Yes folks, the maximum power which indicates Cycle 24’s most damaging period lands right smack in the middle of Mayan prophecy. This will certainly be quite interesting. That is---if we don’t nuke ourselves right out of existence before then.
Equation:
Sunspots => Solar Flares => Magnetic Field Shift => Shifting Ocean and Jet Stream Currents => Extreme Weather and Human Disruption (mitch battros)

Tuesday August 21st - Dr. Mausumi Dikpati - Dr. Dikpati is a scientist at the High Altitude Observatory operated by the National Center for Atmospheric Research. She is the first scientist to predict the strength and timing of the next solar cycle based on simulations of the physics of the solar interior. Dikpati's prediction as heard 'live' on ECM will be up to 50% stronger than the previous cycle ('Cycle 23').
Thursday August 23rd - Larry Combs - NASA/NOAA Space Weather Center. Larry is one of the lead weather forecaster for the NOAA Space Weather Center. He is one who keeps an eye on space weather events such as solar flares, CME’s, and geomagnetic storms. Larry Combs will help initiate an alert to communication satellite companies, Power Companies related to power grids, FAA related to high flying air traffic, and of course NASA as it relates to the space shuttle and space station.
