Extensive Fault Fracture in California is REAL.

On February 25 between 16:00 and 19:00 local time there was a large emission of gases on the west coast of California. Satellite data for CO, CO2 and SO2 every 3 hours clearly show continued emissions for a day then a decline and spreading of gases.
This is not instrument error. The images clearly show the gases emitted in the spatial pattern of major California faultlines, including the San Andreas.
What does this mean? Not sure, BUT 9 years ago CO emitted in India preceded a 7.4 earthquake by one week.
Today is Feb 29, and not a peep from USGS, govt., NASA, scientists...Why NOT???

Great work Paul!
It's outrageous that this isn't even in the news in California or the US at all!

The San Andreas Fault and the Hayward Fault are two major earthquake faults that effect the San Francisco Bay Region. The left arm of the alleged “tuning fork” CO plume did not correspond with the location of the San Andreas Fault and the right arm of the fork did not correspond with the location of the Hayward Fault.

To view the faults and the recent earthquakes go to the following site and change the settings to Earthquakes: “7 Days, Magnitude 2.5+ Worldwide.” Change the Map Layers to “Street.” Change to “U.S. Faults.” Change the Time Zone to “Local System Time (UTC-08:00).” Look at the California region.

I looked from 9:00 AM PST, 25 February 2016 to 9:00 AM PST, 3 March 2016. The largest earthquake, during that seven-day period, was a 3.5-Magnitude quake in a remote region in the northwest corner of Nevada that was not associated with any known faults. A 3.5-Magnitude quake is barely noticeable by a person standing directly above the epicenter.

We live in a world surrounded by information that others like to talk about. If they are wrong they typically don’t brag about that and they tend to feel that that information is best forgotten.

Congratulations to Andy Lee Robinson and Javier Nava for providing the explanation for the data errors. It suggests that it’s important to spend a bit of time looking for such unusual data and seeing if other collaborating evidence can be found.

Part of the plume was shown over a automatic reporting CO sensor in Redwood City, California. I looked up the historical data for the 24th and the 25th. There was no indication of anomalous readings during the time the plume was over that area. I would assume that other stations, under the numerous plumes, showed similar results. California contains many such ground-based stations as part of it's pollution monitoring network.

The data I collected is shown under the posting below that starts with "Redwood City CO monitoring for 02/24/2016 and 02/25/2016."

I really wish EarthNullSchool showed methane levels too. I'm really curious if they spiked too. Sheesh, what an anomaly...

The Daily Kos had a post on this as well yesterday. In going through the comments I encountered an individual who claimed to have studied earthquake science and blamed the phenomenon on human activity + meteorological phenomena. Although the burst occurred within a three hour period that didn't correlate with a significant shift in weather patterns in that time frame, and it's doubtful that the majority of Californian's all got in their cars at once in such an unprecedented way. That was no man made burst.

I am very skeptical with the "instrumentation" explanation.

[judysims]

No doubt about it..., we should all be as prepared as possible for "the big one."

I was told, "Don't panic the Public!" . . . . . .
. When I was working as an Engineering Consultant for some NGOs, I found that there had been very high levels of Carcinogenic Chemicals in a Drinking Water system. I gave talks to the Public about this many times and wrote about it also. Since I had become friends with the Local Government Engineering staff and with some of the Politicians while doing my research, two of them took me aside and told me that I should not “Panic the Public.” This meme, “Don’t Panic the Public, ” I think, is throughout the Culture of the Bureaucracy. Has anyone else found this?
So, it could be that the high levels of gasses that appeared on nullschool, on February 25, 2016, were accurate. . .
. And now the danger is that the data will be altered before it is made available to the Public.

Did you notice that there was a CO plume over Hawaii at the same time as the California event?

[stevenienhaus]

When this first happened I looked at the air circulation from the west coast and saw and inversion layer on the coast. This is what happens when air stops moving.

[PaulHBeckwith]

I have to figure out what is happening, and communicate it in new videos. You folk send my stuff to the USGS and anywhere and everywhere. Much more fun than just watching:)

[PaulHBeckwith]

So the satellite sensor data turned out to be faulty. Ground-truth measurements of gases have not turned up anomalies. I am still puzzling over how the data got it so wrong, and will so an explanation follow up video shortly.

[montyp-fxzq]

WHY is the NOTHING about this in the media?!?!?!?!?!?! This is damn near criminal how the media is keeping this quiet!

[AlfOfAllTrades]

There seem to have been an increase of both quakes and volcanic activity along the ring of fire in general. Along Japan it seems that the pacific plate has changed direction and that this has connection to the Indonesian volcanic activity increase . The San Andreas fault sits between the North American plate and the Pacific plate, I am guessing that if the Pacific plate has changed directions somewhat, this would probably impact the pressure on San Andreas as well? If so and San Andreas is "venting" gas at this stage, could this be an indication that general quake activity is increasing in the are as well?

[ahaveland]

Very curious.
I'd expect there to be some notable seismic activity associated with such sudden high emissions over such a large area.
It doesn't look manmade, but I would check the data first to make sure it wasn't an artifact introduced into the model.
Even so, if I lived in California, I would think about sleeping close to an exit for a while!

[robertethanbowman]

Paul, the most obvious question is about stagnant air and forest fires. Are there enough of them to get part of the way to those levels and them have systematic errors in all of the readings.

[okpasha]

This is from 3 years ago?? What was the reading last week?

[kristiehansen]

do u think maybe the media black out is because the military is using haarp, or maybe subs with sound wave penetration right into the fault

[MrSandollarMan]

sea level is dropping the ocean is cooling causing the water molecules to contract.
