Hi,
[snip]
Using a mean earth diameter of 6371 km, a mean albedo of 0.3, and
solar insolation of 1 W/m^2, we have a reflected power of:
Solar insolation is around 1 kW (not 1 W) / m^2.
Ooops! Right. I know that! Or at least I did! I've been away from
this stuff too many weeks.
P = (6.371x10^6 m)^2 * Pi * 0.3 * (1 W/m^2) = 3.8x10^13 W
The above should be:
P = (6.371x10^6 m)^2 * Pi * 0.3 * (1 kW/m^2) = 3.8x10^16 W
This puts HAARP about 7 orders of magnitude less.
Thanks for the correction.
Best regards,
Horace Heffner
