Some NOAA Visualizations Data Projections More Gravity Sun Moon Global Cooperation https://youtu.be/4waIa-2tMlY My comments and a few suggestions. Then another pitch for global cooperation, and for help with gravimeter arrays to scan the atmosphere, the oceans, the earth interior, the moon, sun and planets and moons.

Trying to come to grips with broad terms like “fluctuations”

Richard K Collins Collaborative Model and Data, Electromagnetic Gravitational Field, Schools, Universities, Learning and Working, Solar System Colonization August 3, 2021

Alexander If you search for “fluctuations” OR “fluctuations” on google, it will give you about 97 Million entry points. For the last 23 years I have been tracing through these kinds of searches to see exactly what people are doing with terms like “fluctuations”. As you can imagine, this particular term, “fluctuations” has lots of

Image handling on the Internet, Pixels around a star

Thanks for the links. I spent the last few days going over the NexGen Level 3 Weather radar system. I downloaded many example datasets and tried to review and organize all the parts of it. Looking to see how to integrated radar, satellite, SDR (electromagnetic networks of many sorts), GPS and other sensor networks and

Internet Research – global sensor networks and sharing Looking for data to correlate with other sensor networks Your left bars are rich in links. But you are using almost a different style of navigation on every page, certainly every section. With about 3 Million entry points for site:weather.gov that is a lot of hand building

Comment on how to copy trees and find Birth Parents using Ancestry DNA

Richard K Collins Global DNA Genealogy, Internet Best Practices, Internet efficiency, Non-Profit Groups Using the Internet July 29, 2021

I have used Family Tree Maker which syncs to Ancestry. You download the trees to FTM and merge them, and then upload to a new tree. The merging is tedious but better than “save to tree” bit by bit. It is the ONLY method I found that preserves the records as records so that all

Waterloo Double Slit 1 at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acgb5uP4CBM David, I think it would help viewers if you draw a wave on a transparency and overlay it onto another wave to show what is happening. Put two arbitrary time series and look where they match or do not as the time difference changes. Put a time series made

Low frequency variations of high frequency signals

Richard K Collins All Sky Cameras, Electromagnetic Gravitational Field, Gravitational Engineering July 29, 2021

I have been looking at the general situation of tracking and studying slow variations of fast signals.  If you have a star, its main signal is likely electromagnetic or gravitational.  You track its “colors” with an FFT or spectrometer, and perhaps its slow variations up to decades of years or longer. (“pulsar” OR “pulsars”) “MHz”

Comment to a private group on Facebook about DNA genealogy

Richard K Collins Internet efficiency, Non-Profit Groups Using the Internet, Web Policies Internet Polices July 28, 2021

This group has grown to over 100,000 members. I see some wonderful advice that should probably be in a globally accessible form. This is a “private” group, so nothing posted here is seen or indexed and available except to people who join. I have helped more than a hundred people with finding their birth parents,
