This is our first post in our presentation of our proposed Saginaw Impact Manifold .The thread has been expanded as the trial-and-error approach we are taking proceeds. We encourage new readers to participate by reading each post in sequence. Our "Perigee:Zero" conjecture holds that the Carolina bays structures are surface features in energetically deposited, highly hydrated, distal ejecta from a cosmic impact. A challenging aspect of the commonly proposed relationship between the bays and a cosmic impact involves the lack of an identifiable impact structure. Most attempts at following the inferred orientation of the bays back up the trajectories' bearing have failed to produce a focus. We propose this to be caused by at least two variables not considered. First, that the impact may have been an oblique event, which would infer a chaotic focus, and secondly, that the earth rotates during any realistic ejecta loft time, which we attempt to evaluate with the attached kml file. A third variable is the proper accounting for the west-to-east ground-velocity vectors that will be resolved when the ejecta strikes the earth. We will discuss that later; they are measured in m/sec vs km/sec, but were interacting with the relatively slow terminal velocity of the ejecta as it traversed the atmosphere and therefore will prove to be vitally important to the numerical model. Shoot at where the target will be, not where it is right now During the time period extending from the moment of the source impact to the eventual deposition of the distal ejecta, we see the de-coupling of the spatial coordinate reference systems in multiple dimensions. The decoupling is driven by the spherical nature of the "playing field" when trajectories cover significant distances. The common term applied to the effect is the Coriolis Force, which is a kinematic force applied to an object to "force" it along a great circle route as a object proceeds along its trajectory. For example, if an object is launched with sufficient velocity on an azimuth of 90 degrees from latitude 45 north (i.e. due East), it will follow a great circle route as it begins to "circle" the earths spherical surface. The cartesian coordinate "bearing" of our example object begins to "turn" south, and eventually the object will cross the equator on an azimuth 45 degrees increased, or 135 degrees. But the above analysis does not account for the fact that the earth is also rotating during any real-world loft trajectory period. Here we will evaluate the effect on the cartesian cordinate system of azimuths and bearings when the Earth's rotation is considered. The Google Earth facility is employed with the attached set of kml. During the 12 minute loft time we are modeling in this post (and attached kml), the Earth will rotate three (3) degrees of longitude from the west to the east (regardless of your location on the earth). Therefore, the landing location of the ejecta will actually be three degrees westward of the initial "target". When the ejecta is deposited at the eventual location, it will still bear the original flight azimuth/bearing. If those geometries are followed back along the trajectory, the focus will be on a location three degrees west of the original launch location. Thus, we feel justified in applying the conceit that, from the perspective of the distal ejecta landing site, the inferred bearing would point back to a suragate impact crater. The suragate would offset on the global map by one degree of longitude westward for every four (4) minutes of loft time. Please consider, also, that the loft time is a variable affected by both the launch velocity and its loft angle. A trajectory can be generated for a given landing location using shallow lofts (and short transit times) as well as higher loftings which would take longer to get to the same location. - Michael *Attachments* 20091203073731-4b17db3bce8f82.70378714.kmz (231 downloads) Preview this file with the Google Earth Plugin (learn more ) /Edited by Cintos (05/06/10 11:35 AM) Edit Reason: update links/ _________________________ "Don't use quotations. ...
