According to the user's guide at USAF Wing Kp
[link to www.swpc.noaa.gov]

it states:
The predictions are color coded according to the amount of solar wind data that was available for each model run, ranging from green (most data) to yellow (little data).

Well, it just switched from yellow to green on the graph.

I'm assuming due to "more" data, this prediction is now "more" accurate ?

The proton density is starting to rise. If the BznT stays -, this could get wicked.

Latest Ace Data


2012 07 15 14:18 UTC

Proton Density 3.4 P/cc

Solar wind 562.7 km/s

BznT - 16.4

This is nuts..

Does anyone know when was the last time we got hit like this?
 Quoting: Starry eyes


Last month.

ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 6
Threshold Reached: 2012 Jun 16 2245 UTC

So far it hasn't been any worse than that on the NOAA timeline.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19756127


This is grossly misleading. Using K index alone to compare the severity of storms is not accurate. Compare the HAARP fluxgate magnetometer's reading from June 16th to today and you have just one example of why the K index alone (that of which is up to debate on it's accuracy in the first place) can't be used for storm comparison.

agree, there are far too many variables for comparisons really...
This is the worst one (with some weird happenings) that i hae seen for a while...
And it could have been worse...lucky no large Flares while we are quite vulnerable..

do all the worlds countries get their data from NASA?
so if the data is off...NASA would be behind this....or would all countries need to follow at data changes?

Re: SOLAR WATCH * Huge X8.2 Flare Sept. 10, 2017! (Updated Daily)
I am learning so much from all of you! You all are truly amazing with your knowledge!

I have a few questions.

Does earths magnetic field begin to weaken when we are experiencing a longer lasting geomagnetic storm?

If we are experiencing a geomagnetic storm and there would be another X Flare, would that worsen the effects when the first particles reach earth in that 8 minute time frame?

I am still learning so I hope I worded my questions right.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17338098


Good questions, I'll try answer but I can barely type at this point. Hopefully someone else will help out here.

The first question depends on many factors. In this case, with the Bz well-south for a long period of time, I would tend to say "yes". Because of the direct connection to the solar wind plasma, more energy from the sun is charging up the ionosphere, the magneto-tail, and the radiation belts. This causes stronger aurora, magnetic disturbances, and ground currents. Usually, most of this energy is deflected by the Earth's magnetic field.

Another X-flare now would probably not have any more severe effects on the surface, but a proton storm may have a bigger effect on the ionosphere which is already disturbed. Now another big CME would definitely have a stronger effect because the radiation belts are already charged up. I hope that's corrrect, lol.

Radio reception here in Seattle is going in and out in waves. This takes a while to get through the whole simulation, but it's worth watching, gets a bit scary over the last two hours, pushing inside the bounds of geosynchronous orbit.
