shenue User ID: 5263313 United States 03/11/2012 09:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | UPDATE ON LATEST CME: The combination of an LDE C8 flare and CME from AR1430 followed by a M8 flare and CME from "the Beast" 1429 has sent a huge, fast coronal mass ejection towards Earth. Estimated speed approximately 1200-1400 km/sec. In my opinion, this could be a very serious hit. (If this was a carnival shooting gallery, the Sun would've won its pick of the top-shelf prizes). Quoting: Hugh M Eye From NOAA event summary: Region 1430 (N21W42) produced a C8 flare at 10/1552Z and Region 1429 (N18W26) produced a long duration M8 flare at 10/1744Z with an associated Tenflare (459 sfu) and a Type IV radio sweep. Both flares had associated CMEs. The first CME appeared in SOHO/LASCO C2 imagery at 10/1624Z with the majority of the ejecta off the NW limb. The second CME, associated with the M8 flare, first appeared in C2 imagery at 10/1800Z. Further analysis will be done as imagery becomes available, however initial analysis indicated the event produced a full-halo CME with an estimated plane-of-sky speed between 1200 - 1400 km/s.

What do you make of this double-trouble eruption today? Very hi-velocity full-halo following quick on the heels of this strong one may spell trouble for satellites. What do ya think? Tom, how do you predict polarity, from your experience. (SIDC has predicted a south polarity for this morning's CME). Do you agree? And what about the new "complex ejecta" CME of today? Sorry for the questions, but I get answer everybody's ?'s all day and I never get to ask my questions, hehehaha. Hi Hugh! Happy to answer. It looks to me like the CMEs were a combo from Regions 1430 and 1429 with 1430 leading. Generally once these Regions start getting this far toward the western limb, CMEs from that far out tend to only give us a glancing blow. However, anything that shows up on SOHO as a full halo CME usually is geoeffective. As to the orientation; I was going to do a presentation on this and just haven't had a chance yet. I wanted to have some mark ups of the SDO magnetogram for good visual aid. This cycle we started off with a high latitude sunspot in 2008, marking the beginning of cycle 24, and it was reversed in polarity from last cycles showing that the Suns poles had reversed as they do each new cycle. All the northern hemisphere regions should be N S, and we can see this represented on the magnetogram by the White for N(non colorized, Blue colorized), and Black for S(non colorized, Red colorized). Early on in the cycle almost all of the Sunspot Regions conform to this tidy standard with all northern hemisphere Regions being N S, and all southern Regions being S N. You can see this on the SDO Magnetogram. CMEs from the N S polarity Regions in the northern hemisphere arrive here with a southward orientation and CMEs from the S N polarity Regions in the southern hemisphere arrive here with a northward orientation. As the cycle progresses the polarity orientation of these regions begins to fluctuate and a close eye has to be kept on them to know what the orientation of the CME will be. Region 1429 is reversed in orientation in the northern hemisphere from all the others. It is oriented S N like all southern hemisphere regions and when the CME arrived on the 8th it was oriented north to south. I believe this one will be as well. When the CME that was ejected from both regions 1430 and 1429 arrive I believe it may very well arrive oriented S N but may also be one of those storms that the BznT swings back and forth constantly on. :) Huh? ;-Þ Watch your thoughts; they become words.

Z the last time I heard /felt it was the end of January, I thought it was transformer noise, so I invetegated, all trnsfrmr near my house were silent. So I researched online and learned that a solar storm was in progress. I have been facinated with solar storms for a while and if I have learned one thing it is that in to many ways they are a mystery to most of us. It just seems strange I heard it at end of January 2012 in crazy solar weather, and I am hearing now in crazy solar weather. |

The last couple of days we had a helocopter with a big ring hanging ring flying around, that big ring I found out is a magnometer,and now low pulse humming, so ya I am serious and a little concerned. |
