January 25 2014 Radiation in Lower to Upper Earth Atmosphere (Graph)

SPACE WEATHER BALLOON LAUNCH THIS WEEKEND: The students of Earth to Sky Calculus are only hours away from launching another space weather balloon. The launch, slated for midday Pacific time on Jan. 25th, is the latest in a series of suborbital balloon missions designed to study the effects of solar activity on Earth's upper atmosphere. Today's flight samples a period of low solar activity, the opposite of their previous flight, which flew into the teeth of an S2-class solar radiation storm. Here are the storm data they gathered on Jan. 8th.

The curve traces the amount of ionizing radiation encountered by the balloon during its 2 hour flight. During the ascent, an onboard x-ray/gamma-ray sensor measured doses 25 times greater than at ground level. The peak occured at the entrance to the stratosphere in a zone known as the "Pfotzer Maximum." Named after physicist George Pfotzer, who discovered the peak using balloons and Geiger tubes in the 1930s, the Pfotzer Maximum is produced by energetic particles hitting Earth's atmosphere, creating a spray of subatomic debris at high altitudes. The Earth to Sky campaign aims to find out, among other things, how the Pfotzer Maximum moves around in response to solar storms.

This weekend's flight will repeat the Jan. 8th experiment using the same equipment while no solar radiation storm is in progress. If all goes well, the balloon will also capture dramatic images of California's epic drought. Stay tuned for updates.  Original Article Link

There is uncorroborated reports that several scientists have broken ranks with the "OFFICIAL DOCTRINE" lies of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster being a benign event.  The early report claims about 5 well documented scientists have gone to Alaska to preform testing and have concluded that the NUCLEAR FALLOUT of Fukushima Daiichi is having extreme unprecedented negative affects to marine life. This information will have a profound affect on all future reporting of the Nuclear genocide which is currently not being truthfully disclosed to the general public by any government  or main stream media source . ....
