Negative polarity CH HSS sparks G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm

Negative polarity CH HSS sparks G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm

Earth is under the influence of negative polarity coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) over the past 24 hours, sparking G2 geomagnetic storming. The source is a polar connected coronal hole located in the Sun's southern hemisphere. Geomagnetic K-index of 5…

Negative polarity CH HSS sparks G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm

Negative polarity CH HSS sparks G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm

Earth is under the influence of a negative polarity coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) on March 1, 2021, sparking G1 – Minor and G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storming. Solar wind speed started increasing late February 28, from 369 km/s at 22:00 UTC to 521 km/s at…

Slow-moving transient sparks vivid auroras around the Arctic circle

Slow-moving transient sparks vivid auroras around the Arctic circle

Solar wind parameters reflected the arrival of a slow-moving transient at approximately 08:23 UTC on January 11, 2021. At this time, density, temperature, and wind speed increased, sparking vivid auroras around the Arctic circle. The cause of the shock wave might…

G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm watch in effect for December 23 and 24

G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm watch in effect for December 23 and 24

A series of positive polarity, polar connected, coronal hole high speed streams (CH HSS) are expected to affect our planet in the days ahead, resulting in G1 – Minor geomagnetic storming. The area of impact is primarily poleward of 60 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude….

CH HSS sparks G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm, G2 – Moderate warning

CH HSS sparks G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm, G2 – Moderate warning

A recurrent, positive polarity coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) is affecting our planet since September 23, sparking active to G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm conditions. A G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm warning was issued at 08:07 UTC today. In 24 hours to…

Series of coronal holes spark G1 – Minor geomagnetic storming

Series of coronal holes spark G1 – Minor geomagnetic storming

Our planet is under the influence of a series of coronal holes since August 25, 2020, sparking unsettled to G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm conditions. The effect is expected to continue through at least September 2. G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm threshold was first…

G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm in progress

G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm in progress

A negative polarity, southern crown coronal hole extension has moved into a geoeffective position enhancing the solar wind environment. Unsettled levels are expected on April 21 as high speed stream (HSS) effects persist. By late April 22 (UTC), a positive polarity…
