A Blog About Solar Theory-The Solar Coronal, The Chromosphere And The Photosphere.
FYI, I'm not sure if you caught my whole conversation with Tom Bridgman, but on 2/24, I put together a whole series of images for him (they are also in this thread by the way), that show all the effects of the electromagnetic ropes on the surface of the photosphere in various SDO wavelengths and magnetogram images.
I also discussed the mass flow aspects of some flares and the fact that the mass flow from solar flares is almost always up, through, and away from the surface of the photosphere, and only sometimes does mass flow in the other direction.
The mainstream never accounted for that 600,000 million volt 'tension' as Birkeland describes it between the cathode surface of the sun, and the heliosphere ('space' according to Birkeland). As a result they really don't have a good or useful explanation for coronal heating. That's particularly true now that convection has been shown to be about 1 percent of their "predicted/necessary" speed. They lost their presumed "power supply' to explain outer atmospheric heating, and they are still clueless about the voltage difference between the sun and "space".
