Positive polarity CH HSS sparks G1 geomagnetic storm

Positive polarity CH HSS sparks G1 geomagnetic storm

A positive polarity coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) is affecting our planet and will continue to do so over the next three days. Over the past 24 hours, by 12:30 UTC on July 22, solar wind parameters as measured by DSCOVR spacecraft reflected the influence…

CME hits Earth, sparks G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm

CME hits Earth, sparks G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm

A coronal mass ejection (CME) produced by the July 14th M2.4 long-duration solar flare hit Earth's magnetic field at 06:01 UTC on July 16, 2017. G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storming started 9 hours later. The S1 Minor solar radiation storm that started at 09:00…

CH HSS sparks geomagnetic storms reaching G1 levels

CH HSS sparks geomagnetic storms reaching G1 levels

Our planet is under the influence of a positive polarity CH HSS which is causing geomagnetic storms reaching G1 – Minor levels. During the past 24 hours, solar wind parameters reflected the onset of a co-rotating interactive region (CIR) followed by the influence of…

G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm in progress

G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm in progress

A G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm is in progress as of 08:14 UTC on April 4, 2017, due to Earth's proximity to the heliospheric current sheet (HCS) and weak influences of the southern polar, negative coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS). Geomagnetic K-index of 5…

Geomagnetic storms begin as potent coronal hole becomes geoeffective

Geomagnetic storms begin as potent coronal hole becomes geoeffective

A recurrent, negative-polarity coronal hole is affecting our planet, causing geomagnetic storming. A G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm watch is in effect for March 28 and 29. A high speed solar wind stream produced by a recurrent, negative-polarity (potent) coronal…

CH HSS sparks geomagnetic storming, G2 warning issued

CH HSS sparks geomagnetic storming, G2 warning issued

Earth is under the influence of a positive polarity coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) which is causing geomagnetic storming. G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm threshold was first reached at 16:12 UTC on March 21, 2017. A G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm warning was…

CMEs impact, geomagnetic storms reaching G4 Severe in progress

CMEs impact, geomagnetic storms reaching G4 Severe in progress

A sequence of events led to an Earth-directed asymmetric halo CME on March 15, 2015. The events began with a 14 degree long filament eruption, centered near S24W38, lifting off between 00:45 to 02:00 UTC. This was followed by C2.4 flare at 00:41 UTC and a long duration

Southern crown coronal hole stirring up geomagnetic storms

Southern crown coronal hole stirring up geomagnetic storms

Earth is currently under the influence of a high speed solar wind speed, originating in negative polarity southern crown coronal hole, which is causing periods of geomagnetic storming on our planet.Solar wind readings indicated a co-rotating interaction region (CIR) whi

Minor geomagnetic storm in progress, weak negative CH HSS expected

Minor geomagnetic storm in progress, weak negative CH HSS expected

According to the SWPC, the ACE satellite observed a pair of discontinuities in the solar wind field during the past 24 hours. The first discontinuity at 02:35 UTC on December 21 was weak and possibly indicated the arrival of a glancing blow from the December 17th Corona

G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storm in progress

G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storm in progress

NOAA/SWPC issued G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storm alert early on December 7 due to the high speed solar wind stream originating from a geoeffective coronal hole in the Sun's southern hemisphere. Geomagnetic K-index of 5 (G1 – Minor) threshold was reached at 01:24 UTC to
