Quoting: Spittin'Cesium Looks like 2/3 for definite but around 6/7 CMEs' total. Fnark. I counted six halo CME's and one "regular" CME.. though three of the halo CME's were a bit smaller than the other three, perhaps they're not considered halo CME's then? Not sure :o) Last Edited by aaronnoraa711 on 09/30/2012 04:55 AM |
| Spittin'Cesium User ID: 14589973 Netherlands09/30/2012 04:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If you watch this closely [link to halpha.nso.edu] you should notice that the majority of bright flashes,usually indicative of flaring are not coming from Sunspot regions but instead from Channel Eruptions around Filaments. You will need to look at the whole of the disc and watch it a few times over to see the different locations of the small Channel Eruptions,but they are the dominant feature for X-Ray events at present. This is'nt the 'norm' but nothing really is anymore,eh?

Not sure :o) I count a Full Halo CME as one that fills the image completely,there were 3 of them in that Gif. Full Halo CMEs' like this are usually Geo-effective as the reason we see it fill the image is due to there Sun/Earth direction,sometimes a Halo CME can be traveling away from the farside of the Sun but should appear much fainter than those traveling toward Earth,here is a little about Halo CMEs' [link to solarphysics.livingreviews.org] .

| Spittin'Cesium User ID: 14589973 Netherlands09/30/2012 07:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just checked the Magnetopause Sim. again [link to iswa.ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov] I'm not sure what is up with that Sim. - I think it may not have been receiving some of the data needed to complete it as it seems to come to Life for a brief moment before going back to the Magnetopause and Bow being completely static,ie. not moving/fluctuating. However the ACE data is coming back through on the Magnetosphere/Ionosphere Updates here [link to ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov] and is showing a little bit of wobble in the By/Bz but not too much of anything else,for now at least.

| Spittin'Cesium User ID: 14589973 Netherlands09/30/2012 07:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | T-BAR usually has correct info but in this case he's wrong, wrong, WRONG. STEREO A had a looong data gap last night (ditto for STEREO B) and missed the CME that occurred at 23:36utc. The far-side CME happened way earlier around 10 or 11 utc on the 27th. I think he's been reading Spaceweather.com too much, we usually beat them to the info here at SOLAR WATCH. Quoting: Hugh M Eye Also, I posted all of the pertinent data and movies I could find first thing this morning (pages 1588-89). Anyone taking the time to read up before posting wouldn't be so confused. I'll repost the SIDC comment from this morning --- COMMENT: A C3.7 flare occurred in the vicinity of NOAA AR 1577 on Sept. 27, 2336 UT (peak time). It triggered both a weak proton event (>10 Mev protons) whose level is near the threshold of 10 pfu at the moment, and a fully developed halo CME as observed with LASCO C2 data. The expansion speed estimated from this instrument ranges from about 700 to 1000 km/s. At the moment, only partial observations of the CME are available from the COR2 instruments onboard STEREO, allowing only a crude speed estimate of about 1300 km/s. On-disk signatures of a coronal EUV waves extending to the East of the region, nearly up to the central meridian, together with the halo nature of the CME, suggest this event will be geoeffective with a risk for minor storm conditions or greater by midday on Sept. 29. [link to sidc.oma.be] Why the confusion? The proton event coincided with the earth-facing CME as we noted late last night. The other backside blast was 13 hours before. Shheesh. CME Density cone model: [link to iswa.ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov:8080] Actually I was RIGHT, Right, right. The BIG CME was on the Backside. There was a small one on the Front Side with most of the action going NORTH. Yes, I saw those Stereo B images, it showed most of it going up, didn't it? [link to stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov] You see very little going out toward the 3 o'clock, right? Due to the position of the Spot, most went Wide Right & High. Here is a Forecast I can agree with, a spike to around 500 km/s on the 30th [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] And a G2 level Storm [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] "Space Weather Message Code: WATA30 Serial Number: 97 Issue Time: 2012 Sep 28 2027 UTC WATCH: Geomagnetic Storm Category G2 Predicted Highest Storm Level Predicted by Day: Sep 29: None (Below G1) Sep 30: G2 (Moderate) Oct 01: G2 (Moderate) THIS SUPERSEDES ANY/ALL PRIOR WATCHES IN EFFECT" Isn't that what I said? A Small Earthbound CME, just like the Millions we have never even noticed. Sorry, No Big One this time. Hello there TBar : ) Here is the C2 from the 26th [link to sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov] You can clearly see that there are Two fairly powerful Halo CMEs' which both appear to be expanding toward the POV and would indicate that they have a good chance of becoming Geo-effective,as well there is another fainter Halo CME whos' direction is a little harder to distinguish but appears to also be expanding toward the POV - that makes Three potentially Geo-effective CMEs' in all. I counted Eight in all beginning from the end of the 26th.
