SOLAR WATCH * Huge X8.2 Flare Sept. 10, 2017! (Updated Daily)

Wow...here we go again uh? Damn....double or triple whammy coming? This shit is getting serious

ALERT: Type IV Radio Emission
Begin Time: 2012 Mar 10 1729 UTC

Comment: Associated with M8 event from Rgn 1429 (N18W23)
Description: Type IV emissions occur in association with major eruptions on the sun and are typically associated with strong coronal mass ejections and solar radiation storms.

Information:

Sweep Frequency Events (Type II, III, IV and V events) - Energetic solar events often produce characteristic radio "bursts". These bursts are generated by solar material plunging through the solar corona. Type III and type V events are caused by particles being ejected from the solar environment at near relativistic speeds. Type II and IV events are caused by slower-moving solar material propagating outward at speeds varying between approximately 800 and 1600 kilometers per second. Type II and IV radio bursts are of particular importance.

These sweep frequency radio events are signatures of potentially dense solar material which has been ejected from the solar surface. If the region responsible for these events is well positioned, the expelled solar material may succeed in impacting with the Earth. Such an impact often causes an SSC followed by Minor to Major geomagnetic storm conditions and significantly degraded radio propagation conditions. It is therefore interesting to pay attention to events which cause Type II and/or IV radio sweep events, since they may indicate the potential for increased magnetic activity (and decreased propagation quality) within 48 hours. It should be noted, however, that predicting degraded terrestrial conditions is significantly more complex than simply observing whether the energetic event had an associated Type II or IV radio sweep. Flare position, proton spectra, flare size, event duration, event intensity and a host of other variables must be analyzed before a qualitative judgement can be made.

It should also be noted that sweep frequency radio events are capable of producing Short Wave Fades (SWFs) and Sudden Ionospheric Disturbances (SIDs). Depending on the severity of the ev ent, the duration of SWFs and SIDs may last in excess of several hours with typical values being approximately 30 minutes. SWFs and SIDs cause absorption of radio signals (due to intense ionization) at frequencies up to and well in excess of 500 MHz. Microwave continuum bursts can affect frequencies up to 30 GHz. Frequencies in the HF region can be completely blacked out for a period of time during intense energetic events. [link to www.facebook.com]

Indeed it is Hugh, hope you guys are prepared just in case.

Namaste to all.

This is long duration M class with CME undoubtedly;

Next should be the 7+

I think this 7+ is very close now. Please be wary folks in quake prone area.

Fooking freaky!

Im about as ready as i could ever be....

SUMMARY: 10cm Radio Burst
Begin Time: 2012 Mar 10 1722 UTC
Maximum Time: 2012 Mar 10 1802 UTC
End Time: 2012 Mar 10 1822 UTC
Duration: 60 minutes
Peak Flux: 459 sfu
Latest Penticton Noon Flux: 146 sfu
Description: A 10cm radio burst indicates that the electromagnetic burst associated with a solar flare at the 10cm wavelength was double or greater than the initial 10cm radio background. This can be indicative of significant radio noise in association with a solar flare. This noise is generally short-lived but can cause interference for sensitive receivers including radar, GPS, and satellite communications. [link to www.facebook.com]

Another big CME in the que. Take a number, Buddy!

I have two questions:

Should we lock up our pets? Will they attack us?

Will any of this when it get here effect the human heart? The rythem or anything?

THere is alot of speculations like the children on star trak that go Bonk Bonk all the time....remember that episode? LOL

WHOA....NASTY! This may be the worst one yet.

is working for me....in Arkansas

Your pets will be fine. These things have happened since the Earth was created. There's been some research to suggest an increase in heart attacks or strokes due to geomagnetic storms. The evidence is spotty and not a lot studies have been done on this (that I know of). Most of what you hear is hearsay. If you have a pacemaker or heart problems, what could you do anyway? The Moon is not a good place to hide...even less protection from radiation there. You may get a headache, but you'll be fine. Astronauts, on the other hand, are in deep doo-doo IMO.

I don't vouch for the veracity of these articles, but I put the info out there for consideration.

Thank you so much, I was worried for a minute. I understand.

Thanks, Luisport! We just now dropped below M-level x-rays.

Ok, explain the duration of it. Looks like it was 2 hours long? What does that mean?

Thanks, Luisport! We just now dropped below M-level x-rays.


Dropping for now i think... sun activity is so intense...

Thanks for responding, It came back up after about 5 minutes of trying. Rebooted to clear out all the junk. Thank you again.

Duno if this has been posted yet

SolarHam.com There have been C-Class flares in the past that has produced bigger CMEs than some of the X-Class flares. Each flare is very different. Here is a video I made on the X28 Solar Flare from back in 2003.

Here is some good news. The latest prediction model shows the CME due to hit sometime tomorrow to just a glancing blow. No longer smack on the nose!

That's right, the CME effects have no direct correlation to the amount of X-ray output. These last two M's could have a much bigger punch than the X5 CME we just had. frankly ,I'm a bit nervous about this one.

If you wouldn't mind, could you sum up, in layman's terms, what the recent developments are?

It's a simulated prediction from NASA. I always question simulations, especially from NASA, LOL. I believe that last hit was predicted to be a "glancing " blow also, but somehow they were freaked out enough to broadcast it on MSM. Fact is someone from NASA admitted they have no real way to know the impact until it arrives.

I hate to tell you this but that simulation has had cmes missing us completely then we got pounded. I quit paying attn. to that SIMULATION awhile ago

I can't know every tool in use but it seems like the only thing we really have that is accurate is the fact that we can tell

1) whether or not they actually happened
2) the speed of them (give or take 5-8 hour margin of errors)
3) the general direction of them

I don't trust that forecast track to predict that it's density will break up to such a level by the time it reaches us, the only thing I look at the forecast tracks for are if they actually hit the globe, after that all you can do is wait until they do hit to see the effects.

Eagerly awaiting speed data/forecast track on the LDE CME.

I personally like it, it at least let's me know what general direction it's going in, in the first place. But, when it's that big, and just seems to part ways just before hitting Earth ??? I'm a little more skeptical in it's authenticity.
