HAARP gets blamed for just about everything these days, but most of the accusations come from people who don't know anything about its capabilities. So they're just thinking that it's this huge energy source that can be directed wherever they want, and which will do anything they want.

EM radiation in the infrared can heat objects, while UV radiation is better at photo-ionizing matter. I just don't know how either one of those types of radiation could encourage an earthquake.
Yes, speculations about HAARP are off topic for this thread.Lloyd wrote:Charles, discussing HAARP's effects on weather may not be appropriate for this thread,

This period encompasses the 26th December 2004, the date of the Sumatran tsunami.
Even though there was a gain (of +0.000152) on the 26-27th, not all of it is attributable to the tsunami as the daily gain, or negative loss, was trending in that direction anyway.

If the value in the gain column is negative, does that mean you observed the planet's rotation speed increase over the previous day's value?
Or vice versa?
This rotation change is a prediction from a model, and the data [collected by ground- and space-based position sensors] is being analyzed to see if the predicted change actually occurred. The data comes in every day, but it will take a few weeks for the most accurate data to be received and analyzed.
The length of the day changes all the time in response to many different processes such as changes in the atmospheric winds or ocean currents. Changes in winds have by far the greatest effect on the length of the day: their effect is actually about 300 times larger than that predicted to be changed by this earthquake.
Considering that the rotation of the Earth is constantly decreasing I suspect their modelled fantasies are nonsense. In fact in 2005 a leap second was added to UTC; the first one for 7 years.CharlesChandler wrote:I forgot to mention that the same paper said that the rotation was accelerated by the sudden subduction,...
