*Nasa study predicts record flooding in 2030s due to Moon's 'wobble'
13/7/21*
The 'wobble' in the Moon's orbit lasts 18.6 years, during which there is a
tide-amplifying phase, which increases the devastating effect of the high
tides. This cycle is expected to occur in mid-2030s, and coupled with the
rising sea level, could lead to more nuisance floods, said Nasa.
Climate change has caused sudden weather changes on Earth, which has led
to flood in many countries, especially the United State. But now, a new
study has linked extreme weather events with Earth's neighbour, the moon.
The study has been conducted by American space agency National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa), which says that a 'wobble' in
Moon's orbit combined with rising sea levels due to climate change will
lead to devastating floods on Earth. The study was published in the journal
Nature Climate Change on June 21.
Called 'nuisance floods', these currently occur in coastal areas when
the tide reaches about 2 feet above the daily average high tide. These
events are much more problematic for businesses because they inundate the
streets and homes, affecting everyday life.
These nuisance floods will become more frequent and irregular by mid-2030s,
according to Nasa study. A majority of US coastline will see three to four
times increase in high tides for at least a decade, according to the study.
It has also warned that these floods won't be spread out evenly through
the year, and expected to cluster together over the span of just a few
months.
“Low-lying areas near sea level are increasingly at risk and suffering
due to the increased flooding, and it will only get worse,” said Nasa
administrator Bill Nelson. “The combination of the Moon’s gravitational
pull, rising sea levels, and climate change will continue to exacerbate
coastal flooding on our coastlines and across the world."
Explaining the impact of the Moon on the flooding on Earth, the study's
lead author Phil Thompson, an assistant professor at the University of
Hawaii, said that the wobble in the Moon's orbit takes 18.6 years to
complete. While the wobble has always been there, what makes it dangerous
is that it will combine with the rising sea levels due to the planet's
warming, said Thompson.
Tides flooding the land is known to the ancient as seen from Rig vedam to
Valmiki Ramayanam.as seen below:
न सोम इन्द्रमसुतो ममाद नाब्रह्माणो मघवानं सुतासः |
तस्मा उक्थं जनये यज्जुजोषन नर्वन नवीयः शर्णवद यथा नः ||
na soma indramasuto mamāda nābrahmāṇo maghavānaṃ sutāsaḥ |
tasmā ukthaṃ janaye yajjujoṣan nṛvan navīyaḥ śṛṇavad yathā naḥ ||
Rigvedam in 7 23 to 32 speaks of effect of Sma the Moon and Noon tides.
Sama Vedam part 2 cjhap 10 20 (uttrachika) speaks about high tides;
swelling of the mighty oceans and tides high and low. SOMA……VARDHA
SAMUDRA MUKYAM. Taitriya samhitai IV 2 8 1
Samudramabhitam pinva maanam ………{cause to swell either sides. }
Sathapata brahmana IX 1 2 3 SWELLING OCEAN, SWELLING AROUND THE
EARTH AND so on. PINVATE word again seen heer causing flood. SAMUDRA VELAVA
DURNIVARYAM (MAITRAYAYINI UPANISHAD) AS THE RISING OF THE TIDES DUE TO MOON
IS INEVITABLE, SO TOO THE DEATH, (ASYA MRTHYORAAGAMAANM).
Valmiki Ramayanam says in several places:
विवर्धमानो वीर्येण समुद्र इव पर्वणि |
हतं मेने तदा राम वसिष्ठमृषिसत्तमम् || १-५५-२०
20. parvaNi = on an auspicious day [in Full Moon day]; samudra iva = as
with ocean; viiryeNa vivardhamaanaH = on the rise by vitality; raama = oh
Rama; R^iSisattamam vasiSTham = sagaciously mighty sage, Vashishta; tadaa =
now; hatam mene = deemed as dead.
By vitality Vishvamitra is like an ocean with rough riptide on a Full Moon
day, and oh, Rama, he deemed that sagaciously mighty sage Vashishta is now
'dead.' [1-55-20]
समुद्रयादोभि रिवार्णवोदकम् || २-६-२८
28. tat = that; puram = city of Ayodhya; indrakshaya sannibham = equal to
the residence of Indra (Amaravati);tataH = then; aakulam =
disturbed; sasvanam = with sound; samantataH = all over; jaanapadaiH = by
villagers; upaagataiH = who came; didR^ikshubhiH = with desire to
see; babhau = shone; aarNavodakam = like ocean water; samudrayaadobhiH =
filled with sea-animals.
That city of Ayodhya equal to the residence of the celestial god Indra,
disturbed with the sound being made all over by the villagers who came with
the desire to see the ceremony, shone like a roaring ocean filled with sea
animals.
प्लवङ्गप्रवरैर्दृष्टः प्लवने कृतनिश्चयः |
ववृधे रामवृद्ध्यर्थम् समुद्र इव पर्वसु || ५-१-१०
10. dR^ishhTaH = being seen; plavaN^gapravaraiH = by best of
Vaanaras; kR^ita nishchayaH = with a strong resolve; plavane = to
fly; vavR^idhe = grew; raama vR^iddhyarthaM = for Rama's success; samudraH
iva = like the ocean; parvasu = on full moon days.
With all the Vaanaras seeing, Hanuma decided to fly and like an ocean
swelling on full moon days, grew for Rama's success.
