Having said that the Density has been rippling again in the last 10(ish)updates which may foretell another arrival yet. I'm throwing out an old theory here. The recent LARGE backside CMEs have hit a union field with our planet and the energy has enveloped us and hasn't hit us directly. This postulation would explain the lack of dense plasma but still explain the wind pick up, no protons or electrons but an enveloping wind and magnetopause disturbance. Just throwing this out there as its been brought up before “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken.

| Isis One User ID: 14343270 United States09/21/2012 09:26 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yeah, Enlil models the solar wind streams (the spirals you can see imaged). You can see on the model how the spiral hitting us on the 22nd is far more dense than usual. Thus the spike in forecasted readings for that time. Also, the catch-all Enlil model is currently displaying one of those far side CME's. Looks pretty fast. [link to iswa.gsfc.nasa.gov:8080] Please indulge me and understand my confusion. We are most effected by the solar winds, density, and temp of a Coronal Hole as it faces earth, a direct influence so to speak. This spiral has been spinning for, and it's hit has been predicted by the Enlil model for at least 5 days, and without the Enlil models available prior to the 17th, we have no date of origin !!! So that would mean that this solar wind originated from a random CH as early as the 14th, 15th, or 16th ??? It just doesn't make sense. That is not typical of any Coronal Hole Solar Wind I have ever seen. If CH536 earth facing at this moment were to send solar winds right now they would be felt within 24 hours, not 6 or 7 days from now. Hi TS, not sure if this related but, if I recall correctly, 2 Min news guy showed THREE coronal holes a few days ago, they may have given us some solar wind, then closed up.

| Isis One User ID: 14343270 United States09/21/2012 09:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This would explain yesterdays Kp4 according to the US Commerce Dept. Quoting: TS66 IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 19/2100Z to 20/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was at predominately quiet to unsettled levels with a period of active conditions observed between 19/2100 - 2400Z. The period began with wind speeds, as measured at the ACE spacecraft, steady at 400 km/s while the Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) was mostly south at about -10 nT. At about 19/2300Z, wind speed and temperature indicated slight increases while IMF Bz began fluctuating between +8 to -6 nT. By about 20/0100Z, the phi angle changed from a positive (away) to a negative (toward) orientation. These changes were all indicative of a co-rotating interaction region in advance of a coronal hole high speed stream. By the end of the period, wind velocities were steady at about 575 km/s while IMF Bz did not vary much beyond +/- 2 nT. I'm sure you remember this from the 16th....from the Spaceweather.com TimeMachine. If you scroll down to the coronal hole diagram on the left margin, you can see the position of 3 coronal holes spread apart by latitude and longitude. They don't always line up neatly with the Parker Spiral streams and the ambient SW, hence the "co-rotating interaction regions" (CIRS).
