When the Earth and Sky Dance: Seismic Shakes Meet Weather Patterns

TL;DR

This paper proposes a novel model linking Earth's seismic vibrations to global weather patterns, suggesting that seismic activity influences atmospheric dynamics and storm formation.

Contribution

It introduces a new approach connecting seismic oscillations with atmospheric pressure variations and storm development, highlighting Earth's elastic dynamics as a climate driver.

Findings

Seismic vibrations may influence atmospheric pressure patterns.

Earth's rotational elastic dynamics are linked to storm formation.

Earthquake-induced oscillations affect global weather dynamics.

Abstract

A new modelling approach shows how the Earth's hidden vibrations may drive global weather dynamics and atmospheric pressure variations, hinting that the planet's own beat could be imprinted on our climate. The atmospheric rotational patterns of the mean sea level pressure, in connection to the development of powerful storms, are shown to be caused by Earth's rotational elastic dynamics and earthquake-induced oscillations. These seismic excitations are discussed in relation to storm formation and the global atmospheric patterns of high-pressure regions.
