Okay we have a new LDE Flare


:samgiflongdurati:

A long duration M2.0 Solar Flare peaked this morning at 10:45 UTC

and its still in pogress

We noticed also a radioburst (Tenflare)
It reached 750 pfu


What is a Tenflare:
A tenflare is associated with optical and x-ray flares. Solar flares emit radiation over a very wide range of frequencies. One of the more significant frequencies observed is the 10.7 cm wavelength band (2695 MHz). When a solar flare erupts, "noise" from the flare is received over this very wide range of frequencies.

When the noise received on the 10.7 cm wavelength band surpasses 100% of the background noise level during a solar flare, a Tenflare is said to be in progress. The more intense solar flares are associated with tenflares. Almost all major flares are associated with tenflares.

Generally, the greater the intensity of the burst of noise observed at the 10.7 cm wavelength band, the more significant the flare is said to be. The duration of the tenflare can also be used to determine the severity of the flare.

Other important flare characteristics are also determined from the radio data observed from flares, which are closely related to the various physical processes which occur in flares. These characteristics are far beyond the scope of this document.

A CME was also inbounded as we can see on Stereo images

Region 1429 is not in earthview right now but the CME looks bright. A portion of this cme could be geoeffective
