Fire and Rain

This is the fire situation in western states as of today (post time). You can see fires grew back since after last rain that i managed to catch in a different blog post. (That post is done through a different method, screenshots in a slideshow, that is very time consuming. Much easier with gifs, but there is no easy way to pause them when playing in html).

Since, the jet stream moved way up north leaving an area of high pressure, high temperature, low winds and especially no rain. Time shown on the map is PDT+7.

The reason i came up with this again is frustration with the smoke. But when i looked today again on the visible and infrared satellite images i saw the situation is much worse in central California. And it looks like it's going to stay that way unless it doesn't rain. Maybe for months. And  then my frustration grew bigger. And i remember something i wrote several times in different posts and wanted to put them together once and for all.

Here is a very comprehensive explanation of what jet stream are. Rivers of high speed air way above surface winds, flowing always west to east (except for meandering).
They are mainly caused by the difference in speed of surface of Earth between equator and pole. They are important because in temperate regions they are determining the weather. Above or at higher latitudes is cold, below is hot and right under is where the precipitations generally occur (except for cyclones but those are also formed within the meanders of the jet stream).


Here is by example the current jet stream situation over Europe

And the powerful cyclone it formed.

However, i think there is a possibility to alter the direction of jet stream. Imagine you have a huge microwave antenna (similar to radar but much more powerful) pointed to the sky that can punctually heat up the ionosphere. If you heat it up let's say, left of the jet stream, it's gonna steer left, etc.. Now you also have some supercomputers with real time global weather models that can calculate where exactly you should hit it to get most of the effects all the way to thousands of miles downstream.

This of course can not be done with huge electrostatic high voltage DC fans like the Pacific Intertie. You will need something else, which needs to be located also at the most western point or entry area for jet stream in the US. Alaska.

This is the current situation of jet stream over northern US. After staying for about a week, beginning two weeks ago, on top of Oregon and California, last week it moved the way it is right now and it looks it's going to stay like this for a while which is kinda unusual because it should change direction more often. This configuration promotes unchanged weather and winds over Oregon and California at least until the end of next week when there's 50% chance of rain in forecast in northern Oregon. Unlike normal atmosphere, ionosphere is conductive. And you know what happens if you put by mistake a piece of aluminum foil in the MW. It heats up and melts.

"The High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) was initiated as an ionospheric research program"

"This is a high-power, high-frequency phased array radio transmitter with a set of 180 antennas, disposed in an array of 12x15 units that occupy a rectangle of about 30–40 acres [12-16 ha]."

How much power and what frequency? It can peak in GW and MHz range.

Many people don't understand what a phased array antenna is. They are used mostly for modern radars and have no moving parts.
Instead, the beam is steered electronically, by shifting phase at each element (in this 2D theoretical desmos example you can simulate shifting phase and steering the beam by moving the second slider and front propagation by moving the first). For a radar it means you can steer the beam hundreds of times a second to cover a wide cone (smaller than 180 degrees) in front of the antenna, like the electron ray in an old CRT TV. For HAARP antenna it means the beam can be steered in almost all directions above horizon, covering a radius of hundreds of miles at the ionosphere level. So you can heat precisely one point of the ionosphere in the area where jet-stream enters most of the times the American continent.
"HAARP is a target of conspiracy theorists, who claim that it is capable of "weaponizing" weather. Commentators and scientists say that advocates of this theory are uninformed, as claims made fall well outside the abilities of the facility, if not the scope of natural science."

If you think in terms of heating the air, of course, it is outside its abilities and scope. However, you don't need to heat the air to change the weather, you only need to steer the jet stream by punctually heating the ionosphere which falls well within those two categories.

"In May 2014, it was announced that the HAARP program would be permanently shut down later in the year. After discussions between the parties, ownership of the facility and its equipment was transferred to the University of Alaska Fairbanks in August 2015."

I first wrote about the possibility of weather manipulation by steering the jet stream in November 2012.

I think besides these two described above (HAARP, Pacific Intertie) there are other ways in which you can mess with the weather, like using huge antennas (Eiffel tower, other unusually high towers with multiple purposes) to electrostatically raise or lower the ionosphere, influencing the pressure in the atmosphere and ultimately the jet stream, or my favorite, simple and elegant catching clouds antennas in areas with low and slow clouds like the one in front of GSR resort in Reno.

Here is this image you can see the "legs" of Eiffel tower sit on a foundation made of limestone.

"This cement was used for the base of the foundation piers. After, large limestone blocks were placed on top of the cement and covered by layers of cut stone."
