[quote:Anonymous Coward 858618:MV83MTA1ODNfMjA5MDk5MTlfQjUxQzdERUY=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1154424] ??? Whats up with this graph? must be a glitch right? http://www2.nict.go.jp/y/y223/simulation/realtime/images/sorbit.jpg That's really weird, the density surely did spike. When the temp dropped that's when the spike of plasma density rose. Not sure if that's an error with the satellite caused by cosmic rays or something or if that is indeed the real measurements. It did it yesterday evening as well, and that time there was a corresponding hit to the simulated magnetosphere. I'm voting for cosmic rays... never saw the density graph look like that before! The spike happened but it also seems to have caused the ACE satellite to stop sensing/sending data for a period of time. You can tell by the flat lined magnetogram. There are always fluctuations, if there are none it means the data isn't there. just got back from looking at it at nict. noticed the data is missing for what looks like to have been when the density went so off the chart. from 00:00 to 01:43..sure would like to see that. [/quote] The Density spike YESTERDAY was star fleet providing us with protons we needed INSIDE the magnetosphere, where it was picked up by the geostationary satellites, not ACE or SOHO which are much further out. that's all that was. Why NICT was down all that time I have NO IDEA because ACE data ran fine the whole time and there was NOTHING unusual about it. [/quote]
