A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) arrived at Earth on 10 October. The CME signature was observed in the solar wind beginning at 10/1434 UTC. A sudden impulse of 56 nT was then recorded at the Niemegk, Germany magnetometer station at 10/1516 UTC. A G2 (Moderate) […]
It looks like the expected CMEs are arriving. So far the HP Index is staying below HP = 5.0, but that probably won’t last! Connie Howell
Electron Saturation dropped to Moderate levels @ 8.40p CDT. 🙂 The past 2 days have been mainly quiet after Solar Wind Speed dropped below 400 km/sec 10/6 @ 8.37p CDT. Electron Saturation’s been a continuing annoyance, crossing above the 10K pfu line during the day, […]
Today was a day of switching Solar energies. Solar Wind Speed dropped into the 400 km/sec range, but Solar Flares picked up with numerous C Class Solar Flares and 2 M Class Solar Flares, one of which lasted about 1 hour. Solar Wind Speed should […]
We’ve got 2 Sun Spots that got upgraded to capable of M- and X-Class Solar Flares today. One of them tossing an M-Class Solar Flare around 2.00p CDT today. There’s no CME being reported with this Solar Flare, so that’s Good News. NOAA’s currently forecasting […]
Today was a bit of a jostling and uncomfortable day, where Solar Wind Speeds exceeded 500 km/sec and we were in and out of Geomagnetic Storms most of the day. I’ve uploaded charts in an earlier for those who more details on that. NOAA’s forecast […]
The CME arrived last night at 8.30p CDT. It wasn’t particularly impactful, slightly raising Solar Wind Speeds above 300 km/sec, and briefly raising Solar Wind Density above 10/cm3. The HP Index responded by averaging HP ~ 2.6 until 10.00a CDT this morning. After that we […]
Today was quite calm across all measures, except Electron Saturation started hovering around its Alert Threshold this morning after taking a dip into Moderate levels overnight. . It’s kinda starting to look like today’s expected CME might be a miss, but it could also be […]
