MOON DATA NEEDED

Posted by E.D.G. On May 1, 2012

Some moon data are needed so that the charts that several computer
programs are drawing have their moon data oriented in the correct direction.

Data Needed: We need to know a few dates from the present time or recent
years for the days when the moon is either directly above a point farthest
north or farthest south, and also a few days when it is either closest to
the earth or farthest from it.

Several researchers including myself are developing freeware
earthquake research computer programs that can display a variety of
earthquake, earthquake precursor, sun, moon, and ocean and Solid Earth Tide
types of data.

The sun data are easy. It is far north and far from the earth around
June, and far south and close to the earth around December if I understand
things correctly. The moon is a little more difficult as it makes those
transitions once a month.

On our charts, the left sides of the waves will mean north and far
from the earth. The right sides of waves will mean south and close to the
earth.

Earlier downloadable versions of the computer programs are already
available at the following (indirect) address.

However, those programs only plot earthquakes and earthquake
precursor data. The newer versions that can also display sun and moon data
and some other types of earthquake research data are now running and might
be ready for downloads in a week or two.
