Parting post in last thread.....
The synodic conjunction of Earth with Jupiter was on the 9th of July 2008, centered in the July 6th thru 12th hurricane window in my forecast above.

Hurricane Bertha was rated above a simple tropical storm for these same days, and now that the concentrated Ion stream between the sun and Jupiter has been passed thru by the Earth, the effects are again minimized, I see this global weather intensification effect every year, as the synodic conjunctions with the outer gas planets occur.

It would be nice to compare the synodic dates in the past with the occurrence dates of past hurricanes to see the rate of correlation, in the recorded history, if links could be found where the dates could be exported into a spread sheet and plotted, it might be very illuminating.

I am working on getting a better handle on seasonally adjusting the temperatures in my forecast by using data from the 54.6 day later periods averaged into the original data to get a set of combined values, that better reflect the seasonal norms, as well as still conserving the patterns of modulation of the Lunar declinational atmospheric tides.

Could you please present satellite observations of this apparent "concentrated Ion stream between the sun and Jupiter". If there is something like that, apart from the solar wind, then it must show up clearly in data from ACE, THEMIS, Geotail, Cluster, and all kind of satellites that go into the solar wind.

It is not apart from, it is a concentration in the solar wind, and does show up in satellite data. Link to HAARP Magnetometer... http://137.229.36.30/cgi-bin/magnetometer/gak-mag.cgi
If you look at a two week section ending today you can see the effects of the magnetosphere's bow shock from entering the stream on middle of July 5th, and exiting on the 12th.

I Googled some of the satellites you mentioned, and was not able to find a source of current data, in a format I could figure out fast enough to respond in a timely manner.

I did find some increase in the density measurement from the 6th to 12th in this ACE 7 day plot.

these data sets are new to me, thanks for mentioning them....

Basically what you are seeing here are substorm signatures, created by reconnection in the magnetotail, which happen every few hours. However, not all of these can be seen by one station, because they happen at the night side of the Earth.

This was created by the southward turning of the solar wind magnetic field on the 5th. And basically, every time the red line (Bz) goes below zero you will find such signatures in the ground magnetometers.

The SWEPAM data show a normal density, with an increase of the solar wind speed by ~50 km/s and then a return again to long time average solar wind speed of 350 km/s and normal variations of the density. I do no see why this should imply a "concentrated ion stream".

It does look like (edumacated guess) that on the 12th there was the passage of a flux tube (looking at the magnetic field data), but theses also pass by when Jupiter is not aligned with the Sun-Earth line, so I fail to see the significance.
