Howdy, TG1, great to see you, SunBro!  I'm not sure where to begin with this event. First of all, I'm somewhat surprised at the lack of "proton snow" on SOHO considering the size and direction of the CME. The Sun seems to guard its secrets very well indeed, haha. Space Weather Message Code: WARPC0 Serial Number: 65 Issue Time: 2012 Jul 13 0034 UTC CANCEL WARNING: Proton 100MeV Integral Flux above 1pfu expectedCancel Serial Number: 64 Original Issue Time: 2012 Jul 12 1740 UTC Comment: Conditions no longer present for warning.Potential Impacts: An enhancement in the energetic portion of the solar radiation spectrum may indicate increased biological risk to astronauts or passengers and crew in high latitude, high altitude flights. Additionally, energetic particles may represent an increased risk to all satellite systems susceptible to single event effects. This information should be used in conjunction with the current Solar Radiation Storm conditions when assessing overall impact. [ link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] ... more when I gather my wits, LOL. I have been watching SOHO for it as well. It is a shame that they missed the initial event with this equipment, as that might have helped answer some questions. It may still be on the way. The largest push of those particles is usually out in front of the CME wave. Also, those particles travel much faster and are more Earth directed when we are magnetically connected(foot Point Location) to the Sunspot Region, which in this case, we were not. It's so nice to read you guys. Hiya Tom. It always seems to happen that when there is an event that there is missing data.  Oh are you Tom ref to the magnetic hwy. that we wernt on when flare happened. And what do you say about the cme and the bz. Thanks. Hi Finley  Always great to see you! Yes, you know the magnetic field line point of connectivity that our Earth has at any given time through the heliosphere to the Sun's corona. It is in a constant state of flux, and todays model has our connection to the SW limb during the time of the flare. We did however have a fairly strong connection initially and then the connectivity dropped (see images below). We are still undergoing a SEP event at any rate, so the proton flux remains high.   I just uploaded these so it may take a while for them to appear. As for the the Bz direction with the arival of this CME? NiN and I both agree that because of the magnetic complexity of this very large Sunspot Region; that we will just have to wait and see!
