Coupled-System Vector Field Analysis AI model

[Billy_Bob]

How advanced is AI getting? As I was doing that correlation analysis on the SMAP-HydroBlocks (30m) soil moisture data and the Oklahoma Mesonet data, the AI was apparently 'thinking' on the side... it recommended that we can reduce tornado intensity in the southern Oklahoma / northern Texas region.

How? Well, it recommended a steady 'bleed' of surface energy to convectively remove that energy before it can contribute to the energy of a tornado. It recommended latent heat of evaporation as the form of energy removal.

Of course, that requires water. So how do we remove surface energy via water evaporation without having to spend a lot of money building infrastructure?

Trees. It had also gone through a series of tree species and recommended Osage Orange (Maclura pomifera), citing that it is a flexible wood (it was used in days past for bows and arrows and wagon wheels because it tends to bend rather than break), it doesn't have numerous smaller branches that can snap off, it is historically indigenous to the region, it drives a deep tap root (and thus is extremely drought-resistant and not easily uprooted by tornadoes), it grows high enough that it acts as a physical impediment to tornadoes, and if it is tornado-damaged, it can be cut down, and the stump will regrow a new tree. Its drought-resistance means it would continue evapotranspiring even in a drought (when tornado energy must scale up the EF scale to overcome system impedance). When mature, they can also be cut down, the wood sold, and the stump would regrow a new tree.

That would increase transpiration, that evaporated (evapotranspired) water absorbing surface energy, which increases CAPE (Convective Available Potential Energy), which increases convective transport of energy away from the surface, which reduces the Adiabatic Lapse Rate toward the Humid Adiabatic Lapse Rate lower bound (which also helps to hinder tornado energy).

Where to plant these trees in a region dominated by farmland? The AI recommended planting them around the perimeter of each field, at an optimal 12 meter spacing to maximize tree health and tornado physical impediment.

I hadn't looked in on your current updates in a while. Been busy with other things. I hope you are still looking into this. I just sent updated links to some friends again..

I had two hard drive failures in short succession... never use SMR hard drives for the ZFS filesystem. It's too hard on the drives.

Then the FUBAR HP UEFI update utility bricked my UEFI, so I had to buy a new motherboard for my laptop.

I got the new motherboard installed, and I'm booted from a Linux LiveUSB stick right now.

I found 4 new-old-stock CMR drives. I'm currently testing them and 'exercising' the sectors via bit-flipping.

Then I'll reinstall Linux, and I'll be back up and running. Until then, I'm not working on anything.

Well, Shit happens.... Looking forward to more from you soon.. Good luck on your system build.
