BML Simulator Batch Mode
This note announces release of a "batch mode" upgrade to the Binary Mechanics Lab Simulator (BMLS) v1.39 which may be downloaded by clicking the link. In addition to the hotspot 1.39 simulator, the download contains five *.bat files in its root directory (mine is c:\physics\hotspot) and a \bat subdirectory containing five examples of input parameter files in Microsoft text format (lines delineated with carriage return {13} and line feed {10}, 0D 0A sequences when viewed in hex format).

Electron Gas Standing Waves
While testing a new batch mode version of the Binary Mechanics Lab Simulator (BMLS), remarkable standing waves of an electron gas in perfect vacuum were observed (Fig. 1).

GRACE: Gravity Surface Temperature Dependence
Abstract and Introduction
The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) consists of twin satellites launched in March 2002 to make "detailed measurements of Earth's gravity field which will lead to discoveries about gravity" [1]. This report presents two such discoveries which provide additional confirmation of the prediction that object surface temperature increases gravitational force [2] [3], originally discovered with lunar laser ranging and lunar orbit perigee data [4]. First, comparing 13 years (2003 - 2015) of GRACE ocean data subtracting the coldest month (January) from the warmest month (July) in the northern hemisphere, GRACE showed greater gravity in the northern hemisphere when warmer (Fig. 1, right) and decreased gravity in the southern hemisphere when cooler (Fig. 1, left). Second, the product-moment correlation of the average GRACE ocean gravity measurements and ocean surface temperature (SST) over the available latitude data range was 0.697, suggesting that about one half (49%) of GRACE gravity measures in fact reflect ocean surface temperature, as predicted.
