Greetings To All On The Science Forum. I'm a newbie on the Science Forum and my "Day Job" is an electronic and electro-mechanical technician for a large transit agency here in San Francisco Bay Area. However since the 1960s, I've been an amateur scientist and my main interests are in seismology, meteorology, and a little bit of astrophysics as well. I actually design and build various types of scientific instruments, however my main interest is seismographic station equipment. Over the past 3 decades, I've manufactured and installed seismological stations for several universities and colleges. Aside from seismology, I'm strongly interested in something called "Cosmic Electrodynamics"–CE- which is the role of that electricity and magnetism plays in the universe. The so called sunspot and solar flare cycle is the most common form of CE and my interest in the phenomenon was spurred after viewing several of the aurora displays in the San Francisco area over the past 20 years.
