SOLAR WATCH * 252 M & 18 X FLARES starting 3-7-2011 (Updated Daily)

A bit of splatter with that Flare(I missed entirely) [link to sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov] .

M6!!! Gitterrrr done!!!!!!!

no... culmination of energy produced by earthquakes around the pacific rim... short answer

Interesting triangle of the three red dots (time sensitive post)

Space Weather Message Code: ALTK04
Serial Number: 1618
Issue Time: 2012 Nov 13 0121 UTC

ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 4
Threshold Reached: 2012 Nov 13 0103 UTC
Synoptic Period: 0000-0300 UTC
Active Warning: Yes
Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 65 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude.
Induced Currents - Weak power grid fluctuations can occur.
Aurora - Aurora may be visible at high latitudes such as Canada and Alaska.

Space Weather Message Code: ALTXMF
Serial Number: 184
Issue Time: 2012 Nov 13 0206 UTC

ALERT: X-Ray Flux exceeded M5
Threshold Reached: 2012 Nov 13 0204 UTC
NOAA Scale: R2 - Moderate
Potential Impacts: Area of impact centered on sub-solar point on the sunlit side of Earth. Extent of blackout of HF (high frequency) radio communication dependent upon current X-ray Flux intensity. For real-time information on affected area and expected duration please see [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov]

Space Weather Message Code: ALTTP2
Serial Number: 827
Issue Time: 2012 Nov 13 0004 UTC

ALERT: Type II Radio Emission
Begin Time: 2012 Nov 12 2328 UTC
Estimated Velocity: 645 km/s
Description: Type II emissions occur in association with eruptions on the sun and typically indicate a coronal mass ejection is associated with a flare event.

Bloody Coronagraphs

Hello 66 and MTN by the way

Any help? Pretty please!

hey there, good chap

This needs to get above 50

Region 1613 doesn't appear to like going below B5(ish)before firing back up again [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] be interesting to see if this repeats..watching.

It's working those flabby arms .......

Yes - The CCMC is'nt updating Sims.

This will Fraggle around for a little yet.

Arrr.

One moment.

Edit:Detritus(dust orbiting the instrument),High Energy Particles(Protons etc.)and Aliens.

and i thought 1610 was suppose to be the big boy on the block...

SOHO C2 show a slight whiff of a CME from the M2 flare. Considering the impulsive (short-duration) nature of these flares so far I don't expect any huge CMEs. That could change in the blink of an eye as we all know. ;)

:gahh:

Mucho thank you for the cliff notes, he he

Thank you Hugh : )

'Whiff' of a CME is a perfect choice of Word,exactly what it is.

That's not too bad really.

Well,apart from the location of some of them : )

Well well, things are popping tonight. M6 flare and Bz activity.

Looks like the Taurid Meteor Shower we are having right now.

Quite a awesome Surge with that M in H Alpha [link to halpha.nso.edu] .

Shes' updating again [link to ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov] after a Hour of missing data.

Its outta shape! Hi TS!

We are going to get to the point, and may even be being conditioned to really accept all of the "down times" of data.

Thank goodness Hugh has a couple up his sleeve as back up, or we would really be flying blind.

There was a nice ejection from the M6 flare as seen on the SDO AIA 304a images:
