The California rainfall of 12/20/1861 and 1/18/1862.

Conviction and belief run the world. Men have fought wars over them and continue to fight wars over them even today. Priests of conviction and belief have burned their subjects, blew them up and killed millions to have their live hearts taken from their bodies and burned at an altar as a sacrifice to satisfy lights in the sky thought to be gods who wanted death and destruction. These priests, at least, knew certain configurations of planets were the cause of the weather, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

The weather forecasting of the past has depended on the change of surface atmospheric pressure, which accounts for wind velocities and direction of storm systems. Then it evolved into historical data from areas. It is still a guessing game from those criteria. The historical data is limited to the history of the area. There are other factors that are more reliable, but it does take a different model then the one being popularly used today. Both the pressure changes and the history of an area are the result of changes of the thermodynamics within the Earth which drive the thermal dynamics of the atmosphere.

My research and the model I use show that planets control the weather around the world. The major players are the larger outer planets acting on Jupiter. The inner planets and the Moon determine the, intensity, timing and the location of events. It is not an averaging system as expected in any empirical method of forecasting.. It has the precision of the ephemerides.

“Up and Down California in 1960-1864” is a book written by William H. Brewer from a journal Brewer kept as he rode up and down California. Josiah Dwight Whitney was appointed by the US government to travel to California and make a Geologic Survey to determine its metallic wealth. Professor Brewer was hired as his chief of staff and did most of the work, traveling over fourteen thousand miles up and down California by horseback and mule. Brewer was a witness to the California flood of the winter of 1861’62, recording his observation in his journal. From November 11, 1861 to January 14, 1862, 102 inches of rain had fallen at Sonora. Sacrament was under water and in the Sacrament Valley the tops of telegraph poles were under water. The San Joaquin Valley was flooded forming a lake 250- 300 miles long with an average width of 20 miles. Villages were destroyed and thousands of cattle drowned. The rainfall was state wide. Seventy years later, a flood control district along the Santa Ana River in Southern California, measured the flow of 320,000 cubic feet per second in the Santa Ana River from high water marks still visible,

At the time of the 1861’62 event, the Jupiter system was at 88 percent of its maximum force and equal to the Moon system, also at 88 percent of its maximum force. These two systems of force were working together to increase the magnetic field of Earth, the vortices of the which, depend a great deal on the surface relief of Earth.

On December 20, 1861, both the Earth and the Moon were moving toward the Sun, but the Moon would prove to be the most powerful. Its trajectory was at its maximum speed and its closet distance from Earth was arriving on December 29, just 8 days after the Earth’s closest distance to the Sun.

The final killer was the geodetic position of the Moon system of force centered over California for the next 28 days moving through the full cycle of the Moon orbiting around Earth.

The westerly movement of the Moon toward perigee on the 20th of December and the 18th of January, in my opinion, was the local change of the magnetic field that locally created the right polarity of the aerosol particle to become the nucleus of the water vapor to form water drops causing rain.

Venus passes Earth, with more or less precision, every 1.6 years with varying degrees of force, depending on its encounter with Mars about every eleven months. Earth catches and passes Mars about 2.135 years and has its closest encounters in August about 17 years apart. The closest encounter was less than 35 million miles August 27, 2003.

These two planets account for the two year return for rainfall return developed by engineers from averaging empirical methods.

The larger planets of Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus were moving closer to the Earth than usual with Jupiter and Saturn close to the same line of longitude, their most powerful alignment, From June 21, 1861 to March 20, 1862, Jupiter and Saturn moved 90,000,000 miles closer to Earth representing 68 percent increase of their gravitational force. During that same period of time, Venus had moved one million three hundred miles closer to Earth, over 6 times its gravitational force. This planetary force will not appear again until November, 2119 or 257 years after the event described here.

The moon was moving past last quarter toward new moon, with lunar perigee on December 29th. Perigee would again occur January 26, 1862. That movement toward the Sun, centered over California, created the most powerful magnetic force change from the Moon in 93 years.

The total system of forces of the winter of 1861’62 has not appear again in at least 600 years covered by my research, which is a testimony to the perturbation of planets..
