Abstract

In a recent study Meisel et al. (2019), a strong Gaussian signature was found at the highest detectable frequencies in the Fourier spectra of muon flux received at Geneseo. Due to atmospheric attenuation, if these frequencies are purely acoustical they must be locally derived. One possible explanation for this local implication are two nearby windmill farms, in Dunkirk and Perry-Warsaw, New York. That these windmills radiate acoustical or turbulent energy is suggested by the “steady-state plumes” constantly seen on the Buffalo weather radar. A simple model of turbulence generation from the tips of the windmill rotors will be applied to the muon situation to evaluate the size of a local contribution to the observed muon fluctuation. This research was supported with a NY NASA Space Grant during 2018.
