SOLAR WATCH * Huge X8.2 Flare Sept. 10, 2017! (Updated Daily)

Holy data gap.

I'm guessing the data on the right is tampered with to hell and back. Especially now since they have been leaking/releasing articles on cosmic rays and their effects on climate.

If I had to guess we should be around 102-103.

Giant veil of “cold plasma” discovered high above Earth

Posted on February 3, 2013by The Extinction Protocol

February 3, 2013 – EARTH - Clouds of “cold plasma” reach from the top of Earth’s atmosphere to at least a quarter the distance to the moon, according to new data from a cluster of European satellites. Earth generates cold plasma—slow-moving charged particles—at the edge of space, where sunlight strips electrons from gas atoms, leaving only their positively charged cores, or nuclei. Researchers had suspected these hard-to-detect particles might influence incoming space weather, such as this week’s solar flare and resulting geomagnetic storm. That’s because solar storms barrage Earth with similar but high-speed charged particles. Still, no one could be certain what the effects of cold plasma might be without a handle on its true abundance around our planet. “It’s like the weather forecast on TV. It’s very complicated to make a reasonable forecast without the basic variables,’ said space scientist Mats André, of the Swedish Institute of Space Physics. “Discovering this cold plasma is like saying, Oh gosh, there are oceans here that affect our weather,” he said. Researchers already knew that some cold plasma existed in the ionosphere, about 60 miles (100 kilometers) above Earth’s surface. But few researchers had looked for the clouds between 12,400 and 60,000 miles (20,000 and 100,000 kilometers) high. André and his colleague Chris Cully suspected the plasma could be out there, but they knew the positive charge of spacecraft wasn’t helping any search efforts. Similar to the way cold plasma is created, sunlight strips electrons from spacecraft materials, making their hulls positively charged. Like two matching magnetic poles, a spacecraft would simply repulse any cold plasma around it. to find the stuff, André and Cully instead analyzed anomalies in data from the European Space Agency’s Cluster II spacecraft. This group of four satellites swings around Earth in a highly elliptical orbit. At the orbit’s peak, the probes reach nearly halfway to the moon. The enormous distance gives researchers a chance to sweep through and monitor Earth’s magnetic field and electrical activity, including the influence of “hot” charged particles emitted by the sun. Anomalies in the Cluster II data turned out to be shockwaves from cold plasma particles moving around the satellites. In the end, the pair found that cold plasma makes up between 50 and 70 percent of all charged particles within the farther reaches of Earth’s magnetic field. André says it’s now time to start updating space-weather models to take the extra cold plasma into account—at this point, for instance, nothing is known about how the plasma might affect solar storms. This influence is “not a minor thing in space weather,” André said. “It’s an elephant in the room.” –National Geographic [link to theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com]

it's strange isn't it?

totally, my brain is already thinking back to anomalies we couldn't quit figure out here and now this may be a piece of important missing data, odd that scientists don't even know how this will affect spaceweather forecasts, very strange indeed.


Speaking of which, here is the link to today's spaceweather forecast.

Hey Sis nice to see you and I totally agree with your assessment.

so S.O. is now looking at methane........
interesting........
noctilucent clouds???

were we not just talking about those and a connection to methane?

now here we are again....and this once rare event now more common place and methane leaking everywhere?

just a thought......

Anyone looked at this....its a mess!!
[link to ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov]

Did our poles flip??

Okay, tell me what that means hon?

Okay, tell me what that means hon?

Edit: NVM I read the text on your links and figured it out, with a duh... :)

?

I thought you knew?

Excuse me while I C/P 05:22am here - Not long been awake -

I'll quote this -

'"When Bz is south, that is, opposite Earth's magnetic field, the two fields link up," explains Christopher Russell, a Professor of Geophysics and Space Physics at UCLA. "You can then follow a field line from Earth directly into the solar wind" -- or from the solar wind to Earth. South-pointing Bz's open a door through which energy from the solar wind can reach Earth's atmosphere!

Southward Bz's often herald widespread auroras, triggered by solar wind gusts or coronal mass ejections that are able to inject energy into our planet's magnetosphere'

I know you know what the IMF is.

Had one of those moments where it didn't look right and forgot what I was actually looking at. Sheesh, too much cold meds ... that's my story and I'm sticking to it!!

You're welcome! Thank you also. How are you tomorrow? (its still yesterday here, he he)

Flying through to wish you all a good day; it's just the weirdest weather here.....the times, they are a changing!

Not to be a downer but the answer is 'horrible'.
