This event ran from 08-30-2005 to 09-07-2005. The green dot is the New Moon aligned with the earth and sun on 09-03-2005.

There is clearly a consolidation of water vapor around Maria, Nate, and Ophelia once the latitude of the moon crosses to the southern hemisphere.

Diffusion and Consolidation of Water Vapor Around Tropical Storms Relative to the Latitude of the New Moon During Transit over Atlantic Hurricane Basin

As the Earth rotates under the New Moon’s longitude in the summer evaporation of water into the atmosphere above the northern hemisphere is accelerated. Past studies have shown that the amount of atmospheric water vapor increases about 10 percent when the Earth, New Moon, Sun alignment is over warm water.

As the latitude of the Moon during the New Moon Phase runs to the south turbulent atmospheric conditions are prevalent in the northern hemisphere. Eddy or turbulent diffusion spread water vapor fairly evenly below N 50*. Bow shock plows water vapor and wind rows it along the ITCZ until a the latitude of the New Moon is over the ITCZ and the collected water vapor is pulled into the upper atmosphere relative to the Hadley Circulation Model.

When the latitude of the New Moon crosses the equator there is an abrupt change of geophysical forces and systemic forces diffusing water vapor are limited allowing large cloud masses to consolidate the scattered vapor by point mass attraction.

Very interesting Steve. I remember your new moon post about September 3rd in one of my earlier space weather threads. I remember reading about the possible lunar influence upon the placement of the Aleutian low many years back. (18 .5 year cycle)

I wish I knew the URL. It may not even been online anymore. This was a published research paper.

Yea, well, that must have been a couple of years ago because it has been a while since the New Moon’s gravity wave has been over the Central Pacific’s ITCZ. I do a lot of imaging so, I have to archive a couple times a year. I have quite a bit of web based storage. The problem is that I use different screen names. I can find almost any thing I have posted in the last four years with a date.
