Global Ionospheric Maps

Foundations of Amateur Radio In the middle of the night when insomnia rears its head, there are occasions when an idea sprouts that is still with me the next day. I imagined a spinning globe that shows ionospheric propagation and allows you to navigate around the world and experiment. Think the ionospheric equivalent of windy.com in 3D. To get to that point, I started off with the Australian Space Weather Forecasting Centre. I was on a roll when I discovered that under "HF Systems" it has a "Global HF" section with "Ionospheric Map", which, curiously enough, shows exactly what you'd expect. What surprised me was that below the map is an animation viewer that allows you to see the last three days in half hour increments. Excitedly playing with this I found myself locked out and on the phone to the Bureau of Meteorology. I suspect that someone didn't tell the people who configured their content delivery network that users might be loading a gross of images from their website in short order, or two gross, if you also look at the "T-Index Map", like I did. With no immediate solution on the horizon, I went on the hunt for other sources of maps and discovered the NASA/JPL-Caltech GUARDIAN project, described as near-real-time ionospheric monitoring software for natural hazards warning. Their website has a limited archive of daily videos showing how the ionosphere changes, which was exciting until I discovered that my computer wanted to download each one, rather than play them in the browser, so making lemonade, I downloaded all of last month, thank you "curl", used my favourite video editing tool, "ffmpeg", to combine them, then uploaded the result to my VK6FLAB YouTube channel for our enjoyment. What's fascinating to me is being able to see, for the first time, just how the ionosphere changes throughout the month. You can see where there's regular solar activity and where exceptions occur. I'll note that there's a few gaps, I suspect that the software behind the scenes at JPL had some outages, but what's there is what was available. Now for the interesting stuff. This data is not created by something monitoring in space at L1, or in orbit around Earth, it's created by ground stations scattered around the planet. GUARDIAN is based around the Global Navigation Satellite System or GNSS. The project, to give its full name, the GNSS Upper Atmospheric Real-time Disaster Information and Alert Network, uses the radio signals from the four navigation constellations, GPS, Galileo, BDS and GLONASS. Name aside, the project has some really interesting goals; objective one, the result of which you can see in the video or on the website, is to allow users to explore ionospheric perturbations, in other words, you can see how the ionosphere changes over time. This is achieved by some cool radio phenomena, specifically, two different GNSS carrier frequencies will show phase change as well as alter what's known as "pseudorange", the apparent distance between a satellite and a receiver, affected by among other things, the "Total Electron Content" or TEC along the signal path. What that means is that the satellite signal is directly and proportionally affected by what's happening in the ionosphere. As an aside, this phenomenon can impact your mobile phone navigation, more on that in a moment. In other words, if you can measure how the radio signals from a navigation satellite change, you can calculate what the ionosphere is doing along a direct line between the transmitter and receiver, in response to natural and man-made events on Earth. If that's not enough, remember, this is just the first objective, the second one is to automatically detect those changes, the third objective is to characterise potential natural hazards. Lots of words to say that the aim is to detect events like geomagnetic storms, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, thunderstorms, not to mention explosions and rocket launches. You can explore some historic examples on the GUARDIAN website at JPL. You can also compare the current planetary geomagnetic index with what comes out of the GUARDIAN project. At this point you might wonder what the ionosphere has to do with tsunamis? As it turns out, a whole range of natural and man-made hazards impact the ionosphere due to significant displacements of air at the surface, and the project used historic hazards and ionospheric data to link the two, and in July 2025, the magnitude 8.8 Kamchatka earthquake and associated tsunami was automatically detected 30 minutes before it reached the coast of Hawai'i. If that doesn't hit you in the Wow spot, during my research I came across several projects that explore the use of mobile phone GPS receivers as sensors. There's billions of those, so potentially, planetary coverage. For comparison, in 2022 there were 80 Global Differential GPS ground stations powering GUARDIAN, today the network has over 200 sites. Google Research published an article in 2024 using the same methodologies to measure the ionosphere using millions of mobile phone GPS receivers, effectively doubling coverage. Their article in Nature goes into detail which devices were used and how, essentially, using anonymised and privatised Android location data. From an amateur radio perspective, it's interesting to note just how variable and dynamic the ionosphere is and what types of phenomena affect it. I also wonder if my PlutoSDR might be used to have a go, since we're talking about radio frequencies around 1.1 and 1.5 GHz. All the more reason to get on-air and make some noise and excite the ionosphere and a receiver somewhere on Earth. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

Strategic Stalemate: Ryan Hass on How Beijing Sees America — and Trump

Sinica Podcast

This week on Sinica, I'm joined once again by Ryan Hass, Director of the John L. Thornton China Center at Brookings, former NSC director for China, Taiwan, and Mongolia, and co-host of the Beijing Brief podcast. Ryan has just published two pieces that couldn't be better timed: a long essay in China Leadership Monitor, “China's Great Power Vision Comes into Focus,” which argues that the 2020s may be remembered as the decade Beijing finally laid its cards on the table — and a shorter Brookings piece, “Why Beijing Isn't Taking the Bait with Trump,” on why Xi Jinping has answered an unusually accommodating American president with a poker face, and what that means for Xi's state visit to Washington later this month.We start with the perennial question — what does China want? — and Ryan's own two-decade journey with it, from chasing a supposed secret strategy in Zhongnanhai as a junior political officer to concluding that Beijing's vision is now legible and consistent: an international political order stripped of its liberal core and rebuilt around sovereign equality and the “global majority.” We talk about “American decline” and “strategic stalemate” in Chinese discourse, the tension between China's pitch to the developing world and its export juggernaut, the Middle East and Northeast Asia as test cases, and the central riddle of Ryan's essay: why a country so willing to articulate its ambitions has been so unwilling to pay for them. Then we turn to the summit — constructive strategic stability, escalation dominance, and what will and won't be on the table when Xi comes to Washington.03:11 – The “What does China want?” genre — and why Ryan concluded there is no secret plan locked in a Zhongnanhai vault06:10 – From participant to architect: what actually changed, and whether Beijing is revisionist or, as I cheekily put it, restorationist09:12 – “American decline” (美国衰落) and “strategic stalemate” (战略相持): reading Beijing's rhetorical restraint and the Maoist echo14:34 – Champion of the global majority, or the world's factory? The $6 toaster problem and the credibility gap on Ukraine and Japan19:36 – The Middle East as a test case: economic enabler, not security patron — and the good-faith maximalist rebuttal24:38 – Northeast Asia: why Beijing keeps generating the very encirclement it fears26:59 – Rhetoric without resources: flat foreign aid, shrinking BRI lending, and the SCO as China's proving ground32:28 – The Pew swing that hasn't materialized, and why Biden may have been America's last restorationist president36:01 – Why Beijing isn't taking the bait: Xi's poker face, “constructive strategic stability,” and the G2 refusal41:55 – Confident abroad, anxious at home: the purges, the memory of 2020, economic escalation dominance, and a viewer's guide to the September summitPaying It ForwardRyan flags two women doing important work in China studies, both with books out this fall: Emily Matson of Georgetown, whose China's Date Debate: How Manchurian Scholars Rewrote World War II examines how the start date of China's war with Japan was moved from 1937 back to 1931; and Shuxian Luo of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, whose Simmering Seas: Escalation and De-escalation in China's Maritime Disputes is forthcoming from Oxford University Press in October. He also gives a shout-out to the engines of the Brookings China Center, research assistants Allie Matthias and Joyce Yang.RecommendationsRyan: Barbara Tuchman's The Guns of August, which he's late to but found poignant for its eerie echoes of today's battlefields — and Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan's Regime Change, an inside account of the second Trump administration that he calls harrowing but essential for anyone trying to anticipate the president's behavior. (He also finally read The Three-Body Problem, and now knows his sophons from his Trisolarans.)Kaiser: Robert Harris's Agrippa, published September 1 — the memoir of Marcus Agrippa, the general who won Octavian's battles and built half of Augustan Rome, and a story about the pivot from republic to empire that feels uncomfortably relevant. And if you've read Tuchman, do read Christopher Clark's The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914. Not my official recommendation, but astonishing.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

"Ponoholo" comes from Hawaiian wayfinding: when the canoe was on the right path — reading stars, currents, and waves — you were pono holo, going the good way. Pono Von Holt runs Ponoholo Ranch on Kohala Mountain at the north end of the Big Island, the birthplace of King Kamehameha, and where his family has raised cattle since 1928. Annual precipitation on the ranch ranges from 10 inches of rain at the coast to 110 inches in the cloud forest on top of the mountain. In this conversation, Pono traces the arrival of Mexican vaqueros in the 1830s and the birth of the paniolo, explains how adopting intensive planned grazing in the mid-1980s allowed them to increase their stocking rate, and how dry cows do brush control in a way that chains and caterpillars never could, and makes the case for why an island ranch 2,500 miles from a feedyard decided its comparative advantage was a 450-pound calf.

IU Football Special Teams Preview: Radicic, McAteer, Gowers & Tyler Morris

Indiana football wraps up its 2026 positional preview series with one of the most important — and most overlooked — parts of the roster: special teams. In this CrimsonCast preview, Galen Clavio breaks down how Grant Cain's unit could shape field position, scoring chances, hidden yardage, and momentum for the reigning Big Ten and national champion Hoosiers.The episode starts with why special teams matter so much under Curt Cignetti. Indiana has treated the phase as a real competitive edge, not an afterthought, and the results have shown up in huge moments — from punt returns and blocked kicks to the national championship game, where Mikail Kamara's blocked punt and Isaiah Jones' recovery became one of the defining plays of the title run.From there, Galen looks at the specialists. Nico Radicic returns after a massive season as one of the Big Ten's best kickers, going 18-for-19 on field goals and perfect on extra points. The big question is range: Radicic has been incredibly accurate, but Indiana has not often asked him to kick from deep. With Brendan Franke gone, Paddy McAteer may be the answer on long field goals and kickoffs after arriving from Troy and showing a big leg in the spring.The punting job belongs to Billy Gowers, the Hawai‘i transfer and former Australian rules football player who brings age, experience, and real production after averaging more than 46 yards per punt last season. Drew Clausen, a transfer from Iowa State, takes over at long snapper after Mark Langston's rock-solid 2025 season.The return game may be the most interesting part of the preview. Tyler Morris is expected to take over at punt returner after missing last season with a knee injury, replacing Jonathan Brady, whose reliability and explosive production were a major part of Indiana's special teams success. Galen also discusses possible depth options at punt returner and kickoff returner, including LeBron Bond, Davion Chandler, Turbo Richard, Lee Beebe Jr., and Khobie Martin.The final takeaway is that special teams are more than specialists. For Indiana, this is where young players prove they belong, where effort shows up most clearly, and where future starters can first make their case. If you want to know which young Hoosiers are closest to breaking through, watch who lines up on coverage and return units this fall.Subscribe to the Back Home Network for more CrimsonCast coverage of Indiana football, IU athletics, Curt Cignetti, the Hoosiers, Big Ten football, and the 2026 season.

335: The Three Outcomes That Define High Performance

What does it take to build a genuinely integrated high-performance programme? This week, Richard Graves is joined by Dr Trevor Short, Senior Associate Athletics Director for Health, Wellness and Performance at Utah State University. Trevor explains how Utah State is bringing sports science, sports medicine, strength and conditioning, nutrition and mental wellness together around three shared objectives: athlete availability, performance development and readiness to compete. The conversation explores why alignment must come before data, how monitoring should respond to the questions coaches are actually asking, and why collecting more information does not automatically lead to better decisions. Trevor also discusses the challenge of balancing performance development with athlete availability, adapting thresholds to the demands of the season and communicating the same evidence differently to coaches and senior leaders. This is a practical discussion about designing high-performance systems in which every intervention has a purpose, departments work beyond their traditional silos and the athlete remains at the centre of decision-making. In this episode you will learn Why athlete availability, performance and readiness can be competing objectives How Utah State is integrating its performance, medical, nutrition and mental wellness teams Why alignment with coaches should come before collecting data How to build monitoring systems around meaningful performance questions Why readiness flags must be interpreted within the context of the season How multidisciplinary teams can make better decisions for individual athletes Why the same information should be communicated differently to coaches and administrators How standard operating procedures can make performance systems more consistent and measurable Why leadership, culture and trust matter as much as technology How integrated athlete support can increase a team's chances of winning About Trevor Short Dr Trevor Short is Senior Associate Athletics Director for Health, Wellness and Performance at Utah State University, where he oversees sports medicine, strength and conditioning, sports nutrition, mental wellness and sports performance. Before joining Utah State, Trevor worked as a performance and sports scientist at the University of Hawai‘i, supporting sports science provision across its intercollegiate programmes. His career has also included strength and conditioning, applied research, university teaching, private-sector performance coaching and operational leadership.

Lani Cran-Petrie runs Kapapala Ranch on the south flank of the Big Island of Hawai'i with her husband, Bill. This episode with Lani begins a series on ranching in Hawai'i. Lani describes the improbable history of cattle in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, from a king's gift of livestock to the hide-and-tallow trade through the sugar plantations that shaped which lands ranches kept, the collapse of in-state slaughter in 1992, the shipping containers and airplane crates that now move Hawaiian calves to mainland grass, and a long relationship with Ellensburg, Washington. She also tells the personal story of ranching for 17 years on thirty-day permits on state land, thirteen years of fighting at the state capitol to keep the ranch, ten million gallons of water storage built on faith, and the herd-breaking of "inexperienced" cattle with dogs, exclosures, and an air horn. The Art of Range is supported by RanchBot Monitoring Solutions.

What are the mysterious ‘little red dots' in images of space?

When the James Webb Space Telescope started sending back images in 2022, something mysterious appeared: little red dots, speckled across the sky. They didn't look like any known celestial objects, and astronomers began racing to figure out what they were. There was a lot of hot debate, but researchers are making progress—the dots appear to be black holes, but black holes like we've never seen them before. In a recent study, astrophysicist Rohan Naidu and his team looked into one little red dot with the catchy name of MoM-BH*-1 and concluded it was a new cosmic category called a black hole star. Guest: Dr. Rohan Naidu is an assistant professor at the Institute for Astronomy at the University of Hawaiʻi.
