Team member Kurt Retherford, also of the Southwest Research Institute, points out that «the plume variability supports a key prediction that we should see this kind of
tidal effect if there is a subsurface ocean on Europa.»

I'm not saying there's direct cause and
effect, but it's almost as
if the
tidal wave of dire pronouncements about the imminent unraveling of the earth's climate and ecosystems several years ago hit a shore and rebounded in a way that now threatens to inundate the source.
If Leap Seconds were added at less frequent intervals since 1999, this implies to me that the rate at which the spin rate of the earth is slowing due to earth - moon
tidal friction
effects has decreased since 1999, which means there was an opposing
effect that started at 1999 due to a temporary (how temporary?)
AM is a product of mass x distance x velocity,
if Jupiter was in the Mercury position there would be a terrific
tidal effect but the AM of Jupiter would be a lot lower.
If we do not understand how the weather is driven by ions, EMF,
tidal effects, solar output, and the relationships between them, we will never learn the difference between what needs to be done, from what can be done to better optimize the global environment to maximize the health of the whole biomass.
And
if you don't think similar
effects dominate in wind as higher altitudes are being reached, geothermal where the same horizontal drilling as makes fossil reserves more accessible now can be used, and
tidal, with new materials and methods coming onstream, then by all means, continue to live in your vacuum tube world, getting left behind by the rest of us.
They do not calculate body - wide
tidal forces in their paper, but look at perturbations induced by gravitational forces directly on the inelastic material of the sun «locally focussed
tidal effects»
if you will.
Now, remember that we postulated a very eccentric orbit, this means that the
tidal effect will vary greatly and be much larger when the planet is closest to the star, hence
if tides can interfere with or perhaps even control generation of star spots, then the generation of the activity would be synchronized with the orbital period of the star.
