Quoting: Anonymous Coward 47368238 which is very warm above normal for October. usually October in new York city is 50-70 degrees Hey, enjoy it while you can. Next year it may be 23 degrees in October! We had a blizzard here one Halloween. |

This may fluctuate in the magnetic field for the next 24 hours and sometimes the worst of the effects are bringing up the rear as the CME plasma passes by Earth. I'll try to keep an eye on the situation give updates. Also, always check at NINzrez' thread SOLAR WATCH as we have a team of volunteers updating solar and space events on a daily basis .

(OP) User ID: 39479530 United States 10/02/2013 12:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hugh ive been watching the KP for the past few hours and the chart im watching is still sleepy.. Quoting: AnonCh4rl1 [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] It'll be here soon, maybe your being premature? in another note, small flare starting to show on soho and stereo, but no xray data that i can see, another lift-off? The arrival may be premature, but I'm not, haha. NOAA Issued a K=5 Threshold Reached Alert @ 2:00 UTC (a little over an hour ago): Space Weather Message Code: ALTK05 Serial Number: 729 Issue Time: 2013 Oct 02 0203 UTC ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 5 Threshold Reached: 2013 Oct 02 0200 UTC Synoptic Period: 0000-0300 UTC Active Warning: Yes NOAA Scale: G1 - Minor Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 60 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude. Induced Currents - Weak power grid fluctuations can occur. Spacecraft - Minor impact on satellite operations possible. Aurora - Aurora may be visible at high latitudes, i.e., northern tier of the U.S. such as northern Michigan and Maine. [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] NASA Goddard's CME prediction forecasts a "disturbance Duration' of 27 hours! Event Issue Date: 2013-09-29 23:06:23.0 GMT CME Arrival Time: 2013-10-02 14:39:33.0 GMT Arival Time Confidence Level: ± 6 hours Disturbance Duration: 27 hours Disturbance Duration Confidence Level: ± 8 hours Magnetopause Standoff Distance: 5.4 Re my bad your right, do cmes normally taper up on the kp index or do they start strong n fade down, kp of 5 is pretty nice already, i dunno weather to turn my sensitive electronics off for a few hours. That's a great question. I've seen it happen both ways. A fast and powerful blast from an X or M flare usually hits with a wallop and then slowly susides. But many times we've seen Spaceweather.com call a 'weak impact' and 8 hours later we're at K=7 (G3 storm). Much of the effects are unpredictable and bears close monitoring. The Bz magnetic polarity is usually the main factor- if the Bz measurement is negative (south) the storm levels increase; and if they're positive, most of the plasma will glide by Earth's magnetosphere like water off a duck's back. Sometimes the Bz values just jump back and forth or stay north for a few hours and then dive south for a stormy few hours. The Bz can be seen on the ACE Solar Wind-Magnetic Field plots: WHOA! I've never seen it go to MINUS FORTY on this graph before: [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] |

But seriously, this event is nothing to be concerned about really. A little off behavior and maybe a few satellite glitches but this geomagnetic storm is not that impressive. :offsets: Last Edited by Thinking out loud on 10/02/2013 12:32 AM “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle.
