Calculated trajectory of Japan nuclear plume over America using the NOAA HYSPLIT model

Japan Radiation Plume heading for North America. Daily Projections and Trajectories indicate March 23rd as Fallout Day!

A group of atmospheric scientists from the University of Maryland are currently using a very sophisticated tool to help them examine atmospheric patterns originating from Japan. They have been using the tool for quite some time, enabling them to make simplified projected models of atmospheric transportation and trajectory system on daily basis. What have they discovered from their projections and trajectories? Read on to find out.

Japan Radiation Plume heading for North America. Daily Projections and Trajectories indicate March 23rd as Nuclear Fallout Day

The tool they were using was originally developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). It is called HYSPLIT or better known as the Hybrid Single Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory Model. I won’t go into the technical details but you can follow the link that I have provided earlier to get a better picture on the methods used to create those atmospheric transportation projection and trajectory models.

I’m more interested in their latest projection data. According to their latest data, Japan radiation plume suspended somewhere in the 3-km altitude will reach North America on March 23rd! Radiation plumes suspended in the 3.5 to 5-km altitudes will hit North America the next day! Oh boy! You can get more information from the following screenshot.

Bear in mind that their daily atmospheric transportation projection and trajectory models do not consider the decay of radioactive compounds. It sure looks dangerous at a glance but the radiation plume might decay and poses no harm once it reaches North America. I hope!

Psalm 91

¹He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
²I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
³Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
⁴He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
⁵Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
⁶Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
⁷A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
⁸Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
⁹Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
¹⁰There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
¹¹For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
¹²They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
¹³Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
¹⁴Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
¹⁵He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
¹⁶With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Luke 8

²³and while they were sailing he fell asleep. A squall blew over the lake, and they were taking in water and were in danger.
²⁴They came and woke him saying, "Master, master, we are perishing!" He awakened, rebuked the wind and the waves, and they subsided and there was a calm.
²⁵Then he asked them, "Where is your faith?" But they were filled with awe and amazed and said to one another, "Who then is this, who commands even the winds and the sea, and they obey him?"

I bet cigarettes kill me long before radiation from Fukushima Daichi.

Please don’t take those pills unless you need them. Western USA, you don’t right now.

Yeah I’m pretty sure I’ll live for a few more days.

Pfft. That plume will never affect me. It’s not like I’m going to keel over in the mid

"I bet cigarettes kill me long before radiation from Fukushima Daichi"

I'll take it even further than that - I bet second hand smoke will kill me long before radiation from Fukushima Daichi.

How's that for downplaying it even more?

The head of the physics department at the local college, and a friend of mine, is looking forward to giving his
students the CHALLENGE of trying to identify any radiation
increase from the Japan accident.

Ooh, good idea. I’ll have to suggest it to Dr. Cantrell when he comes in tomorrow to pay for his new cabinets.

Here’s a hint for those students. Use the same technique the United States used to detect the first Soviet detonated atom bomb.

Hey Kracker (as Rev. Wright would say):

If there is enough radiation, you will not only not have any hair on your ass, but you will have no ass (and no balls, or “great balls of fire”), you will glow in the dark, and you will be able to light cigarettes with your fingertips (ala “Firestarter” in X-Men).

As the old Christmas song, updated, would go:

“Let it glow, let it glow, let it glow”

I just saw “Die Hard 2” for the second time this week. Catchy tune.

When is it supposed to hit Chicago? I have my Geiger counter ready.

I don’t know what that is, but I’ll bet Doc does. We’re
both from the “duck and cover” generation.

most hazardous materials are removed by rainfall

Oh dear. It's raining that day here on the California coast.

Guess I'll take my umbrella.

Worst place to get is UNDER things. You get crushed. You lie flat ‘between’ things.

But - that has nothing to do with radiation in the air, lol.
