Ephemeris data for: "Planet activeness: a new concept to enhance the accuracy of Astromet weather forecast"

Background: Astrometeorology is an ancient science, that addresses the
relationship between planet position and weather events. Several Indian
studies proved that astrometeorology could be a complementary method to
improve numerical weather forecast accuracy. Since 2011, Tamil Nadu
Agricultural University is involved in astrometeorological research and
devised a novel concept "Planet Activeness Chart". The principle
is that “planets’ influence on a location’s weather varies throughout the
day and may be negative, inactive, active, highly active and rule
depending on their angle to that location”. Most existing
astrometeorological studies used planetary position to predict the
occurrence of weather events (yes/no) but failed to capture the intensity
of such events. The “Planet Activeness Concept” could address this
limitation and enhance forecast usability. Methods: A study was carried
out from 2018 to 2021 with six years of data (2011-16) to verify the
“planet activeness” on hourly rainfall and wind speed events in Tamil
Nadu. The frequency of planet activeness for a weather event was
calculated by dividing the number of times a planet was in the selected
activeness during a specific event category by the total number of events.
Results: The results indicated that the negative state of the Sun, and the
active status of Saturn, Uranus, Venus, and Moon were positively
associated with rainfall intensity. The windy planets Mercury and Neptune
being in active states, the Sun and Saturn in rule states, Venus and
Uranus in negative states, and Jupiter at a highly active state all had a
significant influence on the increased wind speed. Conclusion: Applying
the planet activeness concept with azimuth could enhance the accuracy and
usability of Astrometeorological forecasts. This study establishes a
mathematical relationship between planet activeness and weather as a first
step to understanding the science behind this relationship. It is
suggested to study different combinations of planets' activeness
during a weather event for more insights.
