Good Catch SheBear,

Someone is on the ball this morning.

This M1.2 flare was from AR 1348.

Planet Mercury.

NOAA receiving sketchy data from Calteck??(OR WHAT GOONS?).

If NOAA was not able to receive data from the server they get it from, the data would not be hit and miss as you see here.

I am going to to put my ass and my neck on the line and call foul here. Lets take a look-see, and just get this shit over with because I am really sick of it.

Some ass wipe set all ACE stats to run on..guess? yyyyddmm..no, mmddyyyy..no, ddmmyyy..no, any combination of the aformentioned?..no! We will be using the Julian Date!

The Julian date is sometimes used as a synonym for day of year, but this is not correct usage. Day of year ranges from 1 to 365 (366 for leap years!!) whereas; Julian dates are a continuous count of days and fractions since Noon Universal Time on January 1, 4713 BCE (on the Julian Calendar). Julian dates are widely used as "time variables" within astronomical software.. and should not be confused with our wonderful day!
SOO!!

This year, but not next because 2012 is a leap year!

So last Tuesday the 7th was the 312th day of the year and 7 days later today Tuesday the 15th is the 319th day of the year.

YES!

I will go to the next post before I get timed out...really hate when that happens!

Lets take a look at the ACE site to see where "REAL TIME DATA" can be located. (according to their instructions.;))


This is the site...
[link to www.srl.caltech.edu]

In blue at the bottom of the page you will see those instruments that we want data sets and real time plots on(bright blue linkable squares!;click and go!) but do you think that they are there? of course not! This is for education purposes only:/! They want to teach you about the individual instruments without ever getting a "birds eye view" of anything! WOW!

Lets explore..

To cut to the chase, there are several links in yellow on the left side of the page..



"Mission Overview"..
[link to www.srl.caltech.edu]
(thats nice)

"Flight Operations"
[link to acefot2.gsfc.nasa.gov:443]
(broken link..invalid..OOPS)

"Science Center"...
[link to www.srl.caltech.edu]
takes us to the familiar page that also..

"Online Data"
[link to www.srl.caltech.edu]

"Other Links" basic same info..
[link to www.srl.caltech.edu]

From these last three we can find a link to the left that lets us go to "Real Time"
[link to www.srl.caltech.edu]

GEE! straight to NOAA!
[link to www.swpc.noaa.gov]

And here is what they have to say..

"ACE Real-Time Solar Wind (RTSW) Data from NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) provides up to an hour's advance warning of unusual solar activity, such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections, which can cause geomagnetic storms.

Four ACE instruments supply data to NOAA's SEC for RTSW processing. The instruments are:

EPAM - Energetic Ions and Electrons
MAG - Magnetic Field Vectors
SIS - High Energy Particle Fluxes
SWEPAM - Solar Wind Ions"

And here are a list of sites that depend on this information that they are proud to display.
[link to www.srl.caltech.edu]

Go to the "4 day plot" on one of the three links above..ie "online Data"

[link to www.srl.caltech.edu]

Compare this with the data from NOAA and see what you think.


Perfect Timing!

I just found that NOAA put out a statement during my 24 hr rant..

Top News of the Day:

2011-11-15 03:46

ACE Tracking Difficulties:

The ACE spacecraft is currently near the Sun-Earth line, causing the satellite dishes used to track ACE to be pointed very close to the Sun. The Sun acts as a radio noise source, making the ACE signal difficult to discern above the solar noise (also known as solar RFI or solar Radio Frequency Interference). This has resulted in intermittent availability of the ACE solar wind data. This situation is expected to improve over the next several days as the ACE spacecraft moves away from the Sun-Earth line. Models that depend on the ACE solar wind data will also be affected (e.g. the Wing Kp Geomagnetic model).

Essentially, AFTER the filament situation is resolved.

another climb....:

M1.9

hehe you was faster!

should be region 1347
[link to lasp.colorado.edu]

looks like 1348 again.

too slow!

Another good quote of the day:

You're right there!

Eve was toooslow for me!

looks more now 1346...:

[link to www.solarham.com]

Actually 1346..

Good morning all

She's a lit up like a christmas tree wilth a one baller now!

GoodMorning




haha, yep jingle bells jingle bells....

Not true...we do have fun though... right!

lol

:CMEitsover:

:woodyboaaaaah:

One Star... This shit happens all the time and no doom. Fuck the suntards.

Risk, a pan of boiled Weisswurst, beer, Nutella, and Hazbro Gummi Bears!!!!



Game on IWTB!

haha, sounds good, Haribo Gummi Bären lies near to me on the table...^^


i eat them when they getting a bit older, tasting better if they get hard :D

Yes..yes..Haribo..oh shit, I just realized; I am fn retarded. See what happens?

lol, no that was rly good
