Hugh M Eye User ID: 22914370 United States 10/07/2012 01:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Update from SIDC- COMMENT: Solar flaring activity is expected to remain at the B-level, although an isolated C-class flare from the NOAA AR 1585 is not excluded. The Earth is currently inside a slow (around 330 km/s) solar wind flow with slightly elevated (around 8 nT) interplanetary magnetic field magnitude. We expect quiet geomagnetic conditions in the coming hours due to low solar wind speed. Early on October 9 we expect the arrival of the ICME corresponding to the halo CME observed on the Sun on October 5, probably interacting with the fast solar wind flow from a small low-latitude coronal hole in the southern hemisphere. A weak geomagnetic disturbance (up to K = 5) will be possible. [link to sidc.oma.be] The new CME which was spotted from the SW eruption is not likely to be geoeffective. We could see a shock, a glancing ripple, or another co-rotational interaction region on the rear end of the CH wind-stream.

[link to i104.photobucket.com] They used to have 2 separate ENLIL Models (CME & Ambient); why they consolidated them is another NOAA mystery. I never liked NOAA's model compared to the iSWA-Goddard models anyway. You would think they'd do a better job since they're the Official Space Weather Prediction Agency for the entire globe, LOL. I'm not really expecting a whole lot from this CME (the eruption only caused a B7 flare), however it should be interesting to see how it interacts with the CH wind stream. |

The cygnet Enlil runs seem rushed and less accurate (see the 9-28 CME prediction of a hasty arrival time [link to iswa.ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov] ) Whereas the geoeffective Enlil model processes data longer first, and often fine tunes itself multiple times before arrival. It pretty much nailed the 10-01 impact particulars on the head. To each their own I guess :) for me I use the cygnet for a rough draft then wait on geo-Enlil for the actual refined particulars.

I found this just now on Drudge Report (of all places)- Quoting: Hugh M Eye More Evidence That Voyager 1 Has Left the Solar System- However Nick Suntzeff, a Texas A&M University astronomer, said based upon the stunning drop in charged particles, something is definitely happening to Voyager that NASA should be commenting upon: “Even without the magnetometer data, the Voyager 1 data shows that it has gone through a huge barrier at the edge of the solar system. These guys are defining it based on their theory which requires a transition zone where the magnetic fields decouple. Maybe this is true. But the fact remains that the satellite has gone through a discontinuity in cosmic ray fluxes that is incredible. It is interacting with the boundary of the Solar System. I think that the data stand on their merit – something wonderful ( a line from the movie 2010) has happened” Which is to say that NASA may be making an important announcement about Voyager 1 in the not too distant future. Article w/nice charts n' stuff: [link to blog.chron.com] Well,it has exited something from the looks of this graph [link to blog.chron.com] of the drop in measured Protons. If from that Graph of plotted Protons they are extrapolating the edge of the Heliosphere you'd also have to conclude that there appears to be clumps or waves of Solar Protons toward the edge of the Heliosphere,no? Also,I believe that there could again be a pick-up in Protons as I personally believe the Heliopause is constantly changing its' outer edge and this is due to Solar Activity,ie. Solar Wind originating from CHs' aswell as average SW and the Bubbles blown by larger CMEs' as well as Larger Flare Events that increase the overall measured Energies that contribute to the overall strength of the outermost edges of our Solar Bubble. Excuse me for coming across a little disjointed in my description,it is very late(early)here : ) I think that those "clumps or waves" can be seen at the 0:50min. mark in this video. [link to www.youtube.com] There was confirmation for me of my answer to SC's question the other night about the cosmic rays, this vid just illustrated how they can "tunnel' right down into the sun and then my addition is the sun hyper-attenuated that one in July Spread the word, change the collective conscious......
