Xkcd: 26-Second Pulse
- eripaha 6y agoIts a completely real thing https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1029/2006GL027010 https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1029/2006...
- Jaruzel 6y agoThanks for posting this, repeated Google searches resulted in absolutely useless results! Especially as all I had to search on was '26 second pulse' and 'gulf of guinea'. Google is becoming worthless for 'serious' search queries. :(
- alberto_ol 6y agoyou can see also explain xkcd, there's another link to PhysOrg.com https://phys.org/news/2011-01-seismometer-noise-south-atlantic-storms.html https://phys.org/news/2011-01-seismometer-noise-south-atlant... https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/2344:_26-Second_Pulse https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/2344:_26-Second_P...
- me_me_me 6y agoI tried to google it, but all searches are pointing to xkcd :D

- dwd 6y agoI don't suppose this is a NULL issue that combines all the signals that get incorrectly positioned at lat:0, long:0?
- zelos 6y agoYou may be on to something: there's a Kosovan car factory and a fruit and veg shop out there too according to google maps.

- rurban 6y agoThe 28 second pulse near this island in the Gulf of Guinea has a good explanation. If you look at it, it's right at the focal point of a perfect ellipse. So the waves wreck havoc there, like a huge antenna. Should be explored by surfers. Could be better than Nazare. But the 26 second pulse from Cameroon was the so called "footquake" from football fans stomping down. > Euler wandered into the field of seismic noise in 2007 when he found consistent spikes in noise from one of 32 different seismic stations in Cameroon. The spikes turned out to correspond with joyous, celebratory foot-stomping of Cameroon’s avid soccer fans at various cities after goals were scored or key plays made during the African Cup of Nations games in 2006. https://phys.org/news/2011-01-seismometer-noise-south-atlantic-storms.html https://phys.org/news/2011-01-seismometer-noise-south-atlant...
