It has long been understood that the Earth has an electromagnetic field, and that this field must therefore be toroidal - doughnut-shaped. But unlike an ordinary magnet you can’t reveal the Earth’s lines of magnetism by, say, scattering iron filings on a sheet of paper placed under it.
Or can you? Might something natural, like wind, possibly
provide the same effect?
My good friend John yesterday drew my attention to a
dramatic and puzzling phenomenon at the North Pole, revealed by the United
States Weather Service’s website, which tracks global wind movement in real
time across the entire planet. It showed, as we shall see, an anomalous,
persistent disturbance in Earth’s wind flow patterns exactly at the North Pole.
But first, let’s take a look at conventional airflow
patterns over Earth’s surface. How does the wind normally behave? (In each of
the following snapshots the central dot is my cursor, marking the selected
latitude and longitude).
Here’s a snapshot of the north Atlantic at 30deg. N, 55deg. W, taken from the United States National Weather Service website on 5-5-2025. It shows regular, unobstructed airflow over open ocean. Expectedly, the flow looks smooth and regular -
Below is a snapshot of airflow around the Chatham Island group in the South Pacific, west of New Zealand, (38deg. S, 157deg. W) taken from the same source on the same day. Again we see smooth lines, as the wind flows strongly northward on the left, hugs the northernmost island in a smooth, tight curve, and doubles back in the opposite direction on the right, fading in strength as it does so. A slight, even circulation of air persists around the south side of the island, joining the main northward-blowing wind again -
Here’s a closer view of the same area. The air flow appears
as smooth as when seen from a greater distance –
Below, we see the wind apparently colliding abruptly with the east coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula (55deg. N., 162deg. E.) -
But a closer view reveals that the wind doesn’t stop abruptly, but in fact fades naturally and gently away as it crosses the coastline -
Here’s a cyclonic formation off the southern tip of the same Peninsula (23deg. N, 153 deg, E.) -
And again, close up, no irregular movement is revealed –
At 48deg. S., 133deg. E. we see another, smooth, cyclonic disturbance -
And at maximum magnification no irregularities appear –
Here’s the most chaotic pattern I could find, again southwest of Australia, at 51deg. S, 78deg. E. Even here, the flow is regular, despite south-flowing wind colliding at right angles with west-flowing air, which itself doubles back to collide likewise at right angles with the southward flow –
A closer view reveals that the roiling masses of wind once again all synergistically combine with each other in a smooth-flowing continuum –
In every case we look at, whether on land or at sea, in rough weather or calm, over flat land or mountains, the air flow appears to behave smoothly and regularly.
Now let’s take a look at the Poles –
This is the South Pole (90deg. S). The airflow is from the left, turning north at the Pole. At the exact South Pole there is a distinct, circular, unchanging halo effect. This is an anomaly! -
The next snapshot shows the South Pole at maximum magnification. At the exact South Pole the westward-blowing wind closest to 90deg. S. recurves sharply south from above and sharply north from below the Pole, and seems to disappear into the exact polar center. At the cursor the air is stationary, equipoised between the recurving and onrushing wind streams, but its speed picks up rapidly again to the west of the Pole, drawing wind in from immediately above and below the Pole to continue northeastward at its previous velocity without any further disturbance to the wind pattern. At this magnification the extraordinarily symmetrical halo effect is visible, and this over supposedly flat ice -
Below is the real time video of this phenomenon. Note – weather patterns constantly change, but I can link you to this live spot on the Earth’s crust, confident that the pattern will be as unchanging whenever you view it as the dark spot is on Jupiter. It’s always there, regardless of the direction of the wind, or time of year! –
Here’s a clearer snapshot of the extremely symmetrical halo effect, or disturbance, apparently permanently present at the South Pole -
Now, let’s view the North Pole, to which John called my attention yesterday. Here’s the Earth, viewed from due north in space, with the North Pole at the center of the snapshot -
Nothing much to see at this distance. But below is a closer view of
0deg. N – True North -
Again, we discern a small, anomalous disturbance at the exact
North Pole!
Let’s zoom in a bit more. To the left we see an expectedly regular, cyclonic air disturbance, but the circular disruption at the Pole itself (in the center) doesn’t look quite right. Why is it even there, in a flat icescape? -
Let’s get closer still. Again we begin to discern what looks like a halo, and (unlike at the South Pole) a comet-like tail of displaced wind trails out beyond it -
This snapshot, with the wind lines removed, reveals the symmetrical halo more clearly -
And here’s a snapshot of the North Pole at maximum magnification. What it disconcertingly reveals is a uniquely chaotic airflow, in which wind – or charged particles? – appears to be forcefully emerging from True North, disturbing the natural surface wind flow in all directions -
And here’s the real time video of the above phenomenon, which I can again confidently attach, because unlike all the other weather patterns it remains forever unchanged –
So there, my friends, we have what I take to be visible
evidence of the toroidal magnetic field of Earth. I make one further
observation in support of this, which you also will probably have made yourselves:
the vortex at the South pole appears, on careful inspection, to be drawing the
wind lines inward. The vortex at the North pole appears to be doing the
opposite – expelling energy outward. Both halos appear to be of the same
radius, suggesting the same energy. They may therefore be – indeed almost
certainly are – complementary parts of
the same phenomenon. And that the South Pole is drawing energy/wind inward,
is supported by the minimal disruption we observe to the surface wind flow.
That the North Pole is expelling energy/wind outward is supported by the
disruption of the wind flow, which we also observe continuing in a
comet-like trail far downwind. Toroidal energy rotates in a doughnut pattern,
centrally from south to north, returning over the Earth’s surface from north to
south. Quad erat demonstrandum.
