MANUS' MATSYA IS THE METEOROLOGISTS' BAROMETER
The intertidal zone, also known as the littoral zone, in marine aquatic environments is the area of the foreshore and seabed that is exposed to the light heat and air at low tide and submerged at high tide, ie the area between tide marks. Ebb and flow, give and take, life,interaction.
The Greek gods of sky and weather were named "Theoi Ouranioi" or "Theoi Meteoroi" which translates into English as Sky God and Atmosphere God. Now I understand the word Meteorologist.
In Theosophy, the "Vaivasvata Manu" is one of the most important beings at the highest levels of Initiation of the Masters of the Ancient Wisdom, along with Maitreya, and the Maha Chohan. According to Theosophy, each root race has its own Manu who physically incarnates in an advanced body of an individual of the old root race and physically progenerates with a suitable female partner the first individuals of the new root race.
The intertidal zone, also known as the littoral zone, in marine aquatic environments, is the area of the foreshore and seabed that is exposed to the air at low tide and submerged at high tide, ie the area between tide marks. It turns out that shells have pre-loaded springs of air inside them.
There is a popular folk myth that if one holds a seashell the one Matsya is holding —specifically, most often, called a conch shell—to one's ear, one can hear the sound of the ocean. I would like to adjust that to when listening to the ocean. The rushing sound that one hears is in fact the noise of the surrounding environment, resonating within the cavity of the shell. As the sound waves get channeled into the shell, they are squeezed into a small space, when they come out, the air inside the shell overshoots, leaving a little less pressure inside the cup than outside. That draws air back in, and the whole process amplifies the sound - which after all, is pressure waves of air.
Meaning of the name Vani is 'Goddess Saraswati'. Vani is a name of Hindu / Indian origin. The name number for Vani is '1'. Vani is a feminine, a name from the circle of the Goddess Saraswati, suggesting, 'Words coming out from mouth; Language.'
Saraswati (Sanskrit:, Sarasvatī) is the Hindu goddess of knowledge, music, arts, wisdom and learning. She is a part of the trinity (Tridevi) of Saraswati, Lakshmi and Parvati. All the three forms help the trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva to create, maintain and regenerate-recycle the Universe respectively.
Saraswati, sometimes spelled Sarasvati, is a Sanskrit fusion word of Sāra which means essence, and Sva which means one self, the fused word meaning "essence of one self", and Saraswati meaning "one who leads to essence of self knowledge". It is also a Sanskrit composite word of surasa-vati which means "one with plenty of water".
The word Saraswati appears both as a reference to a river and as a significant deity in the Rigveda. In initial passages, the word refers to Sarasvati River and mentioned with other northwestern Indian rivers such as Drishadvati. Saraswati then connotes a river deity. In Book 2, Rigveda calls Saraswati as the best of mothers, of rivers, of goddesses.
Saraswati Vandana Mantra is an important hindu mantra that is recited for higher knowledge and wisdom. Mantra translated: "One who is so fair like garland of Kunda flower(a white flower) and snow flakes, who has worn white apparel;whose hand is placed on the stem of the Veena, who sits on white lotus; one who has always been worshiped by lords like Brahma, Vishnu and Shankar; I need blessings of that goddess Saraswati who completely takes away lethargy from within." This Saraswati Vandana Mantra is recited by her devotees every morning for good luck. Everyone has a different version of the vandana, a prayer to the Goddess.
The goddess Saraswati is the authority on academics and the arts. Everybody from musicians to scientists following Hinduism pray to her for guidance and knowledgeIn Hindu mythology, Shraddhadeva Manu (Sanskrit manuśraddhādeva) is the current Manu and the progenitor of the current humanity (manvantara). He is the seventh of the 14 manus of the current kalpa (aeon).
Shraddhadeva was the king of the Dravida Kingdom before the great flood. Forewarned about the flood by the matsyaavatara of Vishnu, he saved the humanity by building a boat that carried his family and the saptarishi to safety. He is the son of Vivasvat and is therefore also known as Manuvaivasvata.[1] He is also called Satyavrata (always truthful).
Saraswati yoga given rise to by the three natural benefic planets, namely, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter co-operating with each other is an auspicious yoga which is not rare in occurrence but when its participants are not strong merges with other yogas.[1] The person born in Saraswati yoga besides being a very learned intelligent orator also becomes very fortunate, rich and famous.[2]
This yoga is named after Saraswati, meaning the region abounding in pools and lakes, celestial or oracular voice, speech or the power of speech, learning and wisdom, who is the deity identified with education and knowledge.[3]
Aredvi Sura Anahita (Arədvī Sūrā Anāhitā); the Avestan language name of an Indo-Iraniancosmological figure venerated as the divinity of 'the Waters' (Aban) and hence associated with fertility, healing and wisdom. Aredvi Sura Anahita is Ardwisur Anahid or Nahid in Middle- and Modern Persian, Anahit orAnaheed in Armenian
In Hindu mythology, Shraddhadeva Manu (Sanskrit manuśraddhādeva) is the current Manu and the progenitor of the current humanity (manvantara). He is the seventh of the 14 manus of the current kalpa (aeon).
Simply put, Matsya is a small fish in the waters. Manu, a fisherman brings Matsya home and takes care of him and in time Matsya grows into a very big, wise and beautiful fish. He eventually lets Matsya return to the ocean. One day, it rains and rains, Matsya returns to save Manu from a coming flood, a watery end. Manu in turn saves the Vedas with his company, the seven righteous ones.
Shraddhadeva was the king of the Dravida Kingdom before the great flood. Forewarned about the flood by the matsyaavatara of Vishnu, he saved the humanity by building a boat that carried his family and the saptarishi to safety. He is the son of Vivasvat and is therefore also known as Manuvaivasvata.[1] He is also called Satyavrata (always truthful).Shraddhadeva was the king of the Dravida Kingdom during the epoch of the Matsya Purana. According to the Matsya Purana, Matsya, the avatar of Vishnu, first appeared as a shaphari (a small carp) to Shraddhadeva while he washed his hands in a river flowing down the Malaya Mountains.
The little fish asked the king to save him, and out of compassion, he put it in a water jar. It kept growing bigger and bigger, until the king first put it in a bigger pitcher, and then deposited it in a well. When the well also proved insufficient for the ever-growing fish, the King placed it in a tank (reservoir), that was two yojanas (16 miles) in height above the surface and on land, as much in length, and a yojana (8 miles) in breadth. As it grew further, the king had to put the fish in a river, and when even the river proved insufficient, he placed it in the ocean, after which it nearly filled the vast expanse of the great ocean.
It was then that Vishnu, revealing himself, informed the king of an all-destructive deluge which would be coming very soon. The king built a huge boat which housed his family, saptarishi, nine types of seeds, and animals to repopulate the earth, after the deluge would end and the oceans and seas would recede. At the time of deluge, Vishnu appeared as a horned fish and Shesha appeared as a rope, with which the king fastened the boat to horn of the fish.
The boat was perched after the deluge on the top of the Malaya Mountains.[7][8][11] After the deluge, Manu's family and the seven sages repopulated the earth.
Matsya the fish is believed by some to symbolize the first stage of evolution, as aquatic life was the first beings on earth. The tale of Matsya may be interpreted as a creation myth where Manu creates beings of the world and men after they were destroyed in the flood, though the creation is never the focus of the legend. Some authors consider the tale not a flood myth, but symbolic in nature. Manu's boat is representative of moksha (salvation), which helps one to cross over. Himalayas is treated as a boundary between the earthly existence and land of salvation beyond. God as the fish guides one to salvation. The horn of the fish is symbolic of "sacrificial values". The presence of fish seems to be an allusion to the Indian "law of the fishes", an equivalent to the "law of the jungle", when the fish seeks protection from being eaten by a larger fish. Treated as a parable, the tale advises a good king should protect the weak from the mighty, reversing the "law of fishes" and uphold dharma, like Manu, the progenitor of mankind and in particular two royal dynasties, thus an ideal king. In the tales where the demon hides the Vedas, dharma is threatened and Vishnu as the divine Saviour, rescues dharma, aided by his earthly counterpart, Manu - the king.

Aredvi Sura Anahita (Arədvī Sūrā Anāhitā); the Avestan language name of an Indo-Iraniancosmological figure venerated as the divinity of 'the Waters' (Aban) and hence associated with fertility, healing and wisdom. Aredvi Sura Anahita is Ardwisur Anahid or Nahid in Middle- and Modern Persian, Anahit orAnaheed in Armenian
Nomenclature on Anahid; humid, moist, dew-point.
In its old Iranian form *Harahvatī, "her name was given to the region, rich in rivers, whose modern capital is Delhi (Avestan Haraxvaitī, Old Persian Hara(h)uvati-, Greek Arachosia)."[1] It might have been derived from the Goddess Sarasvati. "Like the Devi Saraswati, [Aredvi Sura Anahita] nurtures crops and herds; and is hailed both as a divinity and the mythical river that she personifies, 'as great in bigness as all these waters which flow forth upon the earth'." Only the Arədevī is specific to the divinity and discribes the word with an original meaning, "moist". The moist humid essence. She represented Due point.
In the (Middle-)Persian texts of the Sassanid and later eras, Arədvī Sūra Anāhīta appears as Ardwisur Anāhīd.[1] The evidence suggest a western Iranian origin of Anāhīta. Lake Vani (see borrowing from Babylonia, below).
The earliest dateable and unambiguous reference to the iconic cult of Anahita is from the Babylonian scholar-priest Berosus, who – although writing over 70 years[η]after the reign of Artaxerxes II Mnemon[θ] – records that the emperor had been the first to make cult statues of Aphrodite Anaitis and place them in the temples of many of the empire's major cities, including Babylon, Susa, Ecbatana, Persepolis, Damascus and Sardis.[c1] Also according to Berosus, the Persians knew of no images of gods until Artaxerxes II erected those images.[c1][λ] This is substantiated by Herodotus, whose mid-5th-century-BCE general remarks on the usages of the Perses, Herodotus notes that "it is not their custom to make and set up statues and images and altars, and those that make such they deem foolish, as I suppose, because they never believed the gods, as do the Greeks, to be the likeness of men." 
Matsya, is a Sanskrit word meaning "fish." Lord Vishnu took the avatar of a fish to specifically save Vaivasvata Manu from an impending flood. Vaivasvata Manu’s original name of Satyavrata, or Honest-Oath, describes his traits as a very honest, righteous, virtuous, and wise man. Nicknamed Manu, he was the progenitor of the human race. He served as the care taker of our dear Matsya and as the creator of the entire human race.
Man, we are going to have to personally thank him for this one! The human race continued to exist with Matsya's and Manu's help, we would not be here without them!
MATSYA/FISH YOGA
Solunar tables are tables that fishermen and hunters use to determine the best days of the month and times of the day for catching fish and hunting game ETC. Knowing the time of the tides, sunrise, and sunset help fishermen and farmers depending on 'relief rainfall' to predict when fish are going to bite. For hunters, the tides are not the factor. Hunters use the alignment of the sun and the moon to determine when game are likely to be moving the most. Other conditions not being unfavorable, fish will feed, land animals will move about, birds will sing and fly from place to place, in theory, all living things will become more active, more alive, during solunar periods than at other times of apparent equal value.
Using these tables, a fisherman and a hunter can tell when the moon is directly underfoot or overhead. The strongest activity occurs when there is a full moon or a new moon, and is weakest when there is a quarter moon or a three quarter moon. This is because the combined gravitational force of the moon and the sun is strongest when both are directly above or directly below our heads. People now have access to better lunar data because of improved technology the US Naval Observatory exploits and also because of the availability of, and improvements to, GPS technology.
Astrometeorology (from Greek ἄστρον, astron, "constellation, star"; μετέωρος, metéōros, "high in the sky"; and -λογία, -logia) is the practice of applying the astrological/astronomical placements of the Sun, Moon, and planets in time, to forecast the weather.
Astrometeorology is thousands of years old and based on astronomical positions that allegedly directly affect the weather on Earth. Ancient classical astrologers created weather forecasting known as meteorology by noting the positions of stars, planets, the Sun, and Moon. According to their texts, when planets occupy constellations as seen from Earth.
For millenia, forecasting advance weather, short, medium and long-range, was vital amd applied because it was the only way to know when to plant and harvest crops, navigate the seas and to predict the climate months in advance, in preparation for harsh winter seasons.
APHROS, FROTH, Cloudy water, also known as white water, is caused by air bubbles in the water. It is completely harmless. It usually happens when it is very cold outside because the solubility of air in water increases as water pressure increases and/or water temperature decreases. Cold water holds more air than warm water.
Temperature is how hot or cold the atmosphere is, how many degrees it is above or below freezing. Temperature is a very important factor in determining the weather because it influences or controls other elements of the weather, such as precipitation, humidity, clouds and atmospheric pressure.
Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.
Precipitation is the product of a rapid condensation process (if this process is slow, it only causes cloudy skies). It may include snow, hail, sleet, drizzle and rain.
Pressure, atmospheric pressure (or air pressure) is the weight of air resting on the earth's surface. Pressure is shown on a weather map, often with lines called isobars. Barometer the FISH.The Karo-Fish.
Wind/Breeze is the movement of air masses, especially on the Earth's surface, Offshore/Onshore.
The above are and have been the elements of 'weather' studied by humans from the beginning of time. Modifying factors that require data from a wider base of knowledge are five: latitude, altitude, distance to the ocean and/ or sea, orientation of mountain ranges toward prevailing winds and ocean current. Besides the temperature, what also has an effect is the
Clarity of water.
Changes in water levels.
Flooding of new ground.
Time of year
Time of day.
Light Penetration
Depth and type of the body of water, lake, pond, river, bayou etc.
Species of fish.
Structure or lack of - depends on species of fish.
Moon phase.
Amount of forage and type of forage.
Currents.
Dissolved Oxygen levels.
Wind Speed and direction.
Heavy Thunder over the water (lighting). Natural Noise as well as man made.
Birds and bees also appear to sense a drop in barometric pressure and will instinctively react, seek the cover of their nests or hives. Birds also use their ability to sense air pressure to determine when it's safe to migrate. In the sea , lakes, rivers and streams, there is much greater pressure than at the sea surface.
Barometric pressure influences fish behavior. This could be a clue as to why and how Christ recruited fishermen.
Matsya Avatar
In Hindu mythology there are four eras [yuga] – Satya yuga, Treta yuga, Dwapara yuga and Kali yuga. Each Yuga is supposed to be a day for Lord Brahma. One day of Lord Brahma is 4320 million human years. After the end of every yuga Lord Brahma goes to sleep. The power of Lord Brahma’s creation comes from the Vedas. When Lord Brahma sleeps there is no creation and the universe comes to an end.
Lord Vishnu is the God of Preservation. Whenever the earth was in danger and when evil threatens to overpower good, Lord Vishnu descends from the heaven to incarnate on the earth. There are ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu. [Dasavatar – Das meaning "ten" and avatar is "incarnation", the last avatar – Kalki avatar is yet to come] The first avatar of Lord Vishnu is called as Matsya Avatar [Matsya means "fish"].
In the Satya Yuga there was a king by name Manu. He was a staunch devotee of Lord Vishnu. His greatest desire was to see Lord Vishnu with his own eyes. For this he performed severe penances for thousands of years.
The Satya Yuga was about to end and a great flood was to come and destroy all the life on earth to start afresh for the next Yuga. Lord Brahma after a day full of creation, was tired. He wanted to go to sleep and was soon snoring loudly.
While Lord Brahma was sleeping an asura Hayagriva emerged from Brahma’s nose. With Brahma asleep, Hayagriva realized that it was the right time to take in all the knowledge of the Vedas. Hayagriva concentrated and soon absorbed the knowledge in the Vedas. He then hid deep inside the ocean, thinking that nobody would find him there.
Lord Vishnu saw this and was worried. If the Vedas were stolen by the asura, the knowledge of the Vedas could not be passed on to the Next Yuga. As a Preserver, it was his job to make sure the knowledge survived to the next Yuga.
Wondering what to do, Lord Vishnu looked at Manu performing penance. Lord Vishnu smiled realizing that he could complete quiet a lot than just save the Vedas…
The next morning, Manu went to the river to begin his prayers. He took the water in his hands and held it high above his head and offered it to the Lord Vishnu to mark the beginning of his prayer. He was about to pour the water into the river, when he heard a tiny voice from his hands. "O great king! Please do not put me back in the river…"
Surprised Manu stared at his hands. In the palms of his hands was a tiny fish, squirming. The fish looked at Manu, pleading, "Please do not put me back in the water. There are so many bigger fishes in the water, they will eat me. Please, O great king…"
Manu looked at the tiny fish with pity. As a king it was his duty to protect anybody who came to him for help. The king readily agreed and put the fish inside his "kamandalam". [Kamandalam is a small jug carried by sages in those days to carry water]
Manu finished his penance and went home for the night. He had left the fish inside the kamandalam, knowing that the fish would be safe inside. He woke up next morning hearing a strong voice, "O king…Help me…Your kamandalam is stifling me. I cannot breath in here…" Surprised Manu looked at his kamandalam, only to find a big fish staring at him from the top of the kamandalam. The fish was pushing the sides of the jug as the jug was too small for it.
Overcoming his surprise, Manu ran inside his house to get a bigger vessel. The fish gulped few breaths and said softly, "Thank you, kind king."
Manu smiled and was about to walk out the home to begin his morning prayers, when he heard an even more powerful voice, "King, this vessel in too small for me. Please get me another one."
Manu blankly stared as the fish stared out of the vessel he had got just minutes back. The fish was again struggling for breath. Manu brought the biggest vessel in his house and threw the fish inside it. The fish thanked him and after checking that the vessel was big enough for the fish, still puzzled, was about to walk out of the house, when he heard a strong voice, "I am sorry this vessel is also not sufficient for me, king"
Manu stared in disbelief as he saw the huge fish stare out of the big vessel. However realizing that this was not the time for questions, he carried the fish and ran to the river, where he had found the fish and threw the fish inside.
The fish gulped a few breaths inside water, "Thank you…king. You have protected me. But please don't leave me here. I am afraid the other bigger fishes may eat me…"
Manu began to get suspicious, but he was a king. He could not just stop protecting someone who had come to him for help. He stared at the fish for long and before his very eyes saw the fish getting larger and larger, till it had covered up the entire river.
The same routine followed again. Manu carried the fish from one river to another river, but the fish kept getting bigger.
Finally he dropped the fish inside the ocean, only to find that the fish grown to full one side of the ocean. Looking at gigantic fish, a sudden flash came to Manu. He bowed before the fish, "Narayana, you are Narayana..my Lord."
Another important translation of Narayana is The One who rests on Water. The waters are called narah, [for] the waters are, indeed, produced by Nara-Narayana (the first Being); as they were his first residence [ayana], he is called Narayana. In Sanskrit, "Nara" can also refer to all human beings or living entities (Jivas). Therefore, another meaning of Narayana is Resting place for all living entities. The close association of Narayana with water explains the frequent depiction of Narayana in Hindu art as standing or sitting on an ocean.

In Hindu sacred texts like Vedas, Puranas etc., Narayana is described as having the divine blue colour of water-filled clouds, four-armed, holding a Padma (lotus flower), mace Kaumodaki, Panchajanya shankha (conch) and a discus weapon Sudarshana Chakra. Narayana is also described in the Bhagavad Gita as having a 'Universal Form' (Vishvarupa)Vishvarupa which is beyond the ordinary limits of human perception or imagination.[6]
The fish smiled, "You wanted to see me and here I have come." Manu stared with tears in his eyes, as a huge horn grew on the head of the fish.
"My Lord, you have granted me my only desire. I want nothing more. What do you want me to do now?" Manu said prostrating before the fish.
"Manu, the Yuga is about to end in seven days. There will be a great flood and all living things on the earth would perish. I want you to build a big ship. Take the seeds of all plants, the male and female of every animal, and the seven sages along with their families. Take them all on the ship"
Manu nodded. The fish continued. "Don't forget to bring Vasuki, the snake God also." Manu nodded again as he watched the fish tear through the ocean to the other side.
One half of the fish’s work completed, the fish went to the other side to complete the other reason for the incarnation. On the other end of the ocean, the fish saw Hayagriva guarding the Vedas.
Seeing the huge fish, Hayagriva was terrified. What a huge fish…However no sooner than he had thought this, the fish attacked him. The fish was so huge, that a single push sent the asura reeling. Still dazed Hayagriva tried fighting the fish, but the fish was huge and powerful.

After a brief and futile struggle, the asura was dead. Once the asura was dead, the vedas imbibed by him went back to Lord Brahma, who was still asleep.
On the other side of the ocean Manu was building his ship. He had also brought the seven sages with their families.
Soon there were torrential rains which washed away everything. The water level kept increasing and very soon there was a flood. The ship wobbled and many times was about to capsize, but Manu and that others were steadfast in their belief that Lord Vishnu would protect them.
Soon the fish came as promised, "Manu, use Vasuki as a rope to tie my horn to the ship" It bellowed loudly, above the roar of the rain.
Once the fish was tied to the ship, the fish guided the ship in sea and kept the ship safe while the storm raged outside. The fish taught the Vedas to Manu and the others during the voyage. After the storm abated and everything was washed away, the fish deposited the ship at Mount Himavan for the people there to continue the new yuga.

In Hindu iconography, Matsya is typically depicted as an ordinary fish, or else as a half-fish, half-man. In the latter representation, his lower half is that of a fish while the upper portion is that of a man. These partially anthropomorphic forms bear a very close resemblance to traditional depictions of Vishnu. The upper torso has four hands, two of which carry the Shankha, (a conch-shell) and the Chakra (a discus), while the other two are held in the Varada and Abhaya poses, signs of charity and fearlessness, respectively. Matsya may also carry a variety of other weapons and symbols which are typical of Vishnu. Matsya is often depicted with two or three eyes, or from a side profile with only one eye visible as is typical of a fish. Matsya is commonly white in color. Sometimes his jaws are held agape in order to illustrate his ferocity. When accompanied by another figure, Matsya is shown with some permutation of Sri, Bhu and Nila, or simply with Sri alone.Matsya is also said to have first delivered the Vedas, the fundamental texts of Hinduism, to the human race, giving them to Manu Satyavrata. The principles of this book were to govern the human race for the remainder of the four Yugas. As described in the Bhagavata Purana, Matsya first stole the Vedas from the demon Hayagriva, who had previously stolen the books from the sleeping Brahma, the creator god of the Hindu trinity. Some earlier texts claim that Matsya is actually an incarnation of Brahma and not Vishnu.
Matsya in the Context of the Avatar Doctrine
The avatar doctrine is a seminal - (reproductive, propogative, pregnant with consequences) - concept in certain forms of Hinduism, particularly Vaishnavism, the sect that worships Vishnu the preserver as the Supreme God.
The word Avatar in Sanskrit literally means "descent" of the divine (the wind, spirit, humid air the atmosphere pressure) into the realm of material existence, water and earth. Through the power of maya ("illusion" or "magic"), it is said that Vishnu/God can manipulate forms in the physical realm, and is able to assume bodily forms and become immanent in the empirical world.
Hinduism states that the Absolute can take on innumerable forms and, therefore, the number of avatars is theoretically limitless; however, in practice, the term Matsya is most ubiquitously related to Lord Vishnu, of whom Matsya is an incarnation.

Amount of air that can be dissolved in water - decreases with temperature - increases with pressure.
Astrometeorology (from Greek ἄστρον, astron, "constellation, star"; μετέωρος, metéōros, "high in the sky"; and -λογία, -logia) is the practice of applying the astrological/astronomical placements of the Sun, Moon, and planets in time, to forecast the weather.
Astrometeorology is thousands of years old and based on astronomical positions that allegedly directly affect the weather on Earth. Ancient classical astrologers created weather forecasting known as meteorology by noting the positions of stars, planets, the Sun, and Moon. According to their texts, when planets occupy constellations as seen from Earth.
For millenia, forecasting advance weather, short, medium and long-range, was vital amd applied because it was the only way to know when to plant and harvest crops, navigate the seas and to predict the climate months in advance, in preparation for harsh winter seasons.
All things have their season, and a time to every purpose under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to reap". (Ecclesiastes 3:1-2)
Almanacs and calendars offer traditional lore for the consideration of farmers. Some of these practices are ancient and universal, occurring with variations in many cultures around the world.
In 1938, Dr Harry Marvis announced the discovery that stars exercise a daily influence on terrestrial weather. Sidereal air pressure, or barometric variations in relation to the positions of stars, is sometimes as high as 3% of that occurring in common storms.
Weather prediction by astro-meteorology is a highly refined area of sidereal science which has claimed an amazing 90%-plus record of accuracy for both short- and long-term forecasts of weather patterns. This system is an accumulation of tried-and-true observational data going back several millennia.
The rainmakers of old and new have perfected the art of interpreting plant responses and animal behaviors to predict the weather. They observe when plant leaves curl, for example, or when flowers bloom. And they watch everything from the movements of certain birds, to bee migrations, to mating patterns of animals like antelopes, to the croaking of frogs, to predict the timing and intensity of rains and drought with high precision. In Western Kenya, considered one of the country's breadbaskets, conventional forecasting using modern equipment has traditionally been frowned upon as too scholarly. Thousands of smallholder farmers have for years relied on the rainmakers from the Nganyi community, which is well-known for weather interpretation using Indigenous knowledge, to advise them about when and what to plant based on weather patterns. The weather predictions can be for a day, week, or even a month. In return for insight on the weather, farmers repay the rainmakers with the proceeds from their farms. Traditionally, the rainmakers’ work has always been confined to the community level, receiving little or no recognition from scientists or the government. Rainmakers have at times even been ostracized as sorcerers.However today in Kenya rainmakers are gaining respect from the top of our scietific community.Almanacs and calendars offer traditional lore for the consideration of farmers.

APHROS, FROTH, Cloudy water, also known as white water, is caused by air bubbles in the water. It is completely harmless. It usually happens when it is very cold outside because the solubility of air in water increases as water pressure increases and/or water temperature decreases. Cold water holds more air than warm water.
Weather forecasting was obviously advanced by the invention of the barometer. The term meteorology is used today to describe a sub-discipline of the atmospheric sciences, 250 BC – Archimedes studies the concepts of buoyancy and the hydrostatic principle. Positive buoyancy is necessary for the formation of convective clouds. One of the most impressive achievements in Meteorology is Archemedis description of what is now known as the hydrologic cycle: "Now the sun, moving as it does, sets up processes of change and becoming and decay, and by its agency the finest and sweetest water is every day carried up and is dissolved into vapour and rises to the upper region, where it is condensed again by the cold and so returns to the earth." Today there is often confusion between weather and climate. Weather is the condition of the atmosphere at a particular place over a short period of time, whereas climate refers to the weather pattern of a place over a longer period, long enough to yield meaningful averages. Meteorology today is divided and very specialized.
- Meteorology – the interdisciplinary scientific study of the atmosphere that focuses on weather processes and forecasting (in contrast with climatology).
- Weather – the set of all the phenomena in a given atmosphere at a given time.
- Climate – the average and variations of weather in a region over long periods of time.
For example Phenomena of climatological interests include the atmospheric boundary layer, circulation patterns, heat transfer (radiative, convective and latent), interactions between the atmosphere and the oceans and land surface (particularly vegetation, land use and topography), and the chemical and physical composition of the atmosphere.
Related discipline include atmospheric physics, chemistry, ecology. As well as the disciplines of
Physical geography, geology, geophysics, glaciology, hydrology, oceanography, and volcanology.

Atmospheric physics is the application of physics to the study of the atmosphere. Atmospheric physicists attempt to model Earth's atmosphere and compares atmospheres of the other planets using fluid flow equations, chemical models, radiation balancing, and energy transfer processes in the atmosphere and underlying oceans.
Dew point is the temperature at which airborne water vapor will condense to form liquid dew. A higher dew point means there will be more moisture in the air. Dew point is sometimes called frost point when the temperature is below freezing. The measurement of dew point is related to humidity. Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air. Water vapor is the gaseous state of water and is invisible. Humidity indicates the likelihood of precipitation, dew, or fog. A parcel of air that is near saturation may contain 28 grams of water per cubic meter of air at 30 °C, but only 8 grams of water per cubic meter of air at 8 °C. Humid air is less dense than dry air because a molecule of water (M ≈ 18 u) is less massive than either a molecule of nitrogen (M ≈ 28) or a molecule of oxygen (M ≈ 32). About 78% of the molecules in dry air are nitrogen (N2). Another 21% of the molecules in dry air are oxygen (O2). The final 1% of dry air is a mixture of other gases. Wind direction is reported by the direction from which it originates. For example, a northerly wind blows from the north to the south.[1] Wind direction is usually reported in cardinal directions or in azimuth degrees. For example, a wind coming from the south is given as 180 degrees; one from the east is 90 degrees.
A weather front (state of atmosphere) is a boundary separating two masses of air of different densities, and is the principal cause of meteorological phenomena outside the tropics.
Natural influences on fish behavior.
There are several major elements that make up the weather and climate of a place, these are the following: temperature, pressure, wind, humidity, and precipitation. Analysis of these elements provided and provides the basis for forecasting weather and defining a climate.Temperature is how hot or cold the atmosphere is, how many degrees it is above or below freezing. Temperature is a very important factor in determining the weather because it influences or controls other elements of the weather, such as precipitation, humidity, clouds and atmospheric pressure.
Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.
Precipitation is the product of a rapid condensation process (if this process is slow, it only causes cloudy skies). It may include snow, hail, sleet, drizzle and rain.
Pressure, atmospheric pressure (or air pressure) is the weight of air resting on the earth's surface. Pressure is shown on a weather map, often with lines called isobars. Barometer the FISH.The Karo-Fish.
Wind/Breeze is the movement of air masses, especially on the Earth's surface, Offshore/Onshore.
The above are and have been the elements of 'weather' studied by humans from the beginning of time. Modifying factors that require data from a wider base of knowledge are five: latitude, altitude, distance to the ocean and/ or sea, orientation of mountain ranges toward prevailing winds and ocean current. Besides the temperature, what also has an effect is the

Effects of Air Pressure On Fish Pressure describes the amount of Force, Weight/Bar, exerted on any object in or under the atmosphere. Air pressure and associated temperatures and moisture contents are major factors creating clouds and weather. Fish with closed gas bladders use their bladders to achieve neutral density and hold at constant depths. This weightlessness conserves energy by reducing their need to swim.
Changes in pressure over water are often the first indication of coming changes in weather, followed by changes in sound light and temperature conditions. When the possibility that air pressure alone in isolation controls fish behavior is considered, questions and doubts appear. It is a fact that a fish with a gas bladder when experiencing a small pressure change needs only to swim up or down only a few feet to regain neutral buoyancy. Under larger natural pressure changes, like typhoons and hurricanes, more extensive measures come into play.
A fish will instantly notice that it’s floating or sinking, or losing neutral buoyancy, in response to a change in air pressure, but it experiences larger hydro-static pressure as it changes depth a few feet while say hunting prey or moving to a new location.
Biologists have long postulated that clouds, waves, and changes in lighting affect hunting success by predators, by favoring species with eyes sensitive to low light levels. Biologists have not identified any new physical mechanism or sensory system besides the gas bladder that would specifically allow fish suspended at neutral density to sense relatively small changes associated with air pressure shifts.
There is the pressure detection uses of the organ of Weber to consider, a system consisting of three appendages of vertebrae transferring changes in shape of the gas bladder to the middle ear. It can be used to regulate the buoyancy of the fish.

Atmospheric pressure is pressure due to the weight of air. Researchers have observed the reaction of fish to atmospheric pressure and recorded the behavior during Tropical Storms and Hurricanes and they note that when the barometric pressure drops just a few millibars -- an occurrence that causes a similar change in hydro-static pressure -- the fish swim to deeper waters. Hydro-static pressure is pressure due to the weight of water pressing on submerged objects (hydro- means “water” and -static means “at rest”). A swimmer diving to the bottom of a pool might feel a change in pressure in their ears.
Birds and bees also appear to sense a drop in barometric pressure and will instinctively react, seek the cover of their nests or hives. Birds also use their ability to sense air pressure to determine when it's safe to migrate. In the sea , lakes, rivers and streams, there is much greater pressure than at the sea surface.
Barometric pressure influences fish behavior. This could be a clue as to why and how Christ recruited fishermen.
Every fisherman knows that tide, water temperature, light level and moon phase all can affect fishing success, but there's another factor that often goes overlooked. Barometric pressure can be predicted accurately by observing the fresh water fish for it has a major influence on their behavior.
Fish, even though they live in a world below the atmosphere, like many animals in the atmosphere, have very good senses about the coming weather for they are extremely sensitive to passing fronts and atmospheric pressure changes.Fish senses pressure changes well in advance of humans and acts as a barometer for us, through its air bladder.
The weather ahead of cold fronts will for example lead to favorable fishing conditions due to lower pressure. Fish are so good at sensing changes in pressure, that they will indicate to a keen fisherman, (through increased activity) days before a cold front moves in. Which creates good conditions for catching fish. Also ahead of a cold front, as pressure is falling, air bubbles are released in the water. They take small particles and organisms with them up to the surface, bringing fish up to feed.
After the front passes through and for a few days after, conditions will remain poor, however. The high pressure that follows behind cold fronts contributes to lethargic fish that won't move as far or as near the surface. Fish are less likely to come up and feed as frequently during high pressure as they will when the pressure is lower.
Warm fronts also offer up ideal fishing conditions. Lower pressure and weaker winds will bring fish closer to the surface and liven them up for swimming longer distances.
Rain can affect how well the fish will be biting as well. Insects are also more likely to be out flying near the surface of the water during or immediately following a light rain, which will bring fish closer to the surface. Rain can also cause more organic matter to run into bodies of water and lure fish to the surface to eat.

An Outline of the History of Meteorology V1.5 20AUG2005 ©2005 by Steven L. Horstmeyer offers a rough following outline on page one of his paper.enough to satisfy my curiosity. I call it the beginning on record of the body of knowledge that Observational Natural Geo-Astrolo-Atmospheric Science of Meteorology originally transmitted in the Oral Tradition . In Ancient India the beginnings of 'meteorology' can be traced back to the Upanishads, they contain serious discussions about the processes of weather fronts, cloud formation and rain and the seasonal cycles.
Varāhamihira's classical work Brihatsamhita, writing about 575 AD, provides clear evidence of a deep/high knowledge of atmospheric processes. This existed in very ancient India, as it does today, all passed on in the oral tradition, to his times. Varahamihira was the first one to mention that shifting of the equinox is 50.32 seconds.
