Negative polarity CH HSS sparks G1 – Minor geomagnetic storming

Negative polarity CH HSS sparks G1 – Minor geomagnetic storming

An isolated interval of G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm conditions was observed early February 19, 2018, due to the influence of negative polarity coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS). Solar activity over the past 24 hours was at very low levels. Earth-facing side…

Polar-connected, positive polarity CH HSS sparks geomagnetic storming

Polar-connected, positive polarity CH HSS sparks geomagnetic storming

A high-speed solar wind stream is affecting our planet today, causing geomagnetic storming. G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm watch is in effect. Solar wind parameters indicated the onset of a Co-Rotating Interaction Region (CIR) in advance of a polar-connected,…

CIR ahead of CH HSS sparks G1 – Minor geomagnetic storming

CIR ahead of CH HSS sparks G1 – Minor geomagnetic storming

A Co-Rotating Interaction Region (CIR) ahead of isolated positive polarity Coronal Hole High Speed Stream (CH HSS) is affecting our planet today, causing geomagnetic storming. G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm threshold was reached 05:30 UTC. Over the past 24 hours,…

Geomagnetic storms reaching G2 – Moderate levels, spotless Sun

Geomagnetic storms reaching G2 – Moderate levels, spotless Sun

Earth is again under the influence of a recurrent, positive polarity, northern extension Coronal Hole High Speed Stream (CH HSS). G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm level threshold was reached at 11:55 UTC, followed by G2 – Moderate at 19:21 UTC. Over the past 24 hours,…

Recurrent, positive polarity CH HSS sparks geomagnetic storming

Recurrent, positive polarity CH HSS sparks geomagnetic storming

Our planet is again under the influence of a recurring, positive polarity Coronal Hole High Speed Stream (CH HSS), which is causing isolated periods of G1 – Minor geomagnetic storming. Over the past 24 hours, solar wind parameters were indicative of the arrival of a…

Geomagnetic storming reaches G2 – Moderate levels

Geomagnetic storming reaches G2 – Moderate levels

Our planet is under the influence of coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) for the third day in a row. The geomagnetic field was unstable, with isolated periods of G1 – Minor storm levels during the past two days and then increased to G2 – Moderate levels at 14:59…

Spotless Sun, CH HSS sparks geomagnetic storms

Spotless Sun, CH HSS sparks geomagnetic storms

Geomagnetic storming reaching G1 – Minor levels is underway as our planet moves through a stream of high-speed solar wind. At the same time, solar activity is at very low levels with no flare activity and a spotless Sun on its Earth-facing side. Over the past 24…

CH HSS sparks G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storming

CH HSS sparks G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storming

A stream of high-speed solar wind coming from a recurrent, polar-connected, positive-polarity coronal hole is affecting our planet today and causing geomagnetic storming. G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm levels were reached at 08:48 UTC and increased to G2 – Moderate…

G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm in progress

G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm in progress

Our planet is under the influence of a positive polarity coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) which is causing isolated periods of G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storming. Geomagnetic K-index of 5 (G1 – Minor) geomagnetic storm threshold was reached at 15:43 UTC. G2 -…
