The Coronal Hole has since passed and now gives us the perfect opportunity to study Interplanatary and Intragalactic Excited Energy Particles streaming in and reacting to the Null area that is inbetween Coronal Holes , The Sun Remains in a very quiet Configuration allowing more interstellar medium to enter our system. Energetic events can cause a charge to these Neutral Particles and they can energize the Magnetosphere when activity is either Low or Null. This Cosmic Weather has been on the increase as our Sun continues in an exteneded Solar Minimal , Cosmic Winds have slowed and the Heliosphere has shrunk in its protective size.This slowing belt activity and the lack of Magnetic activity on the Sun itself has presented a chance to study the enhancement of Neutral Particles and their effects on Earth and its Magnetic Fields. The activity allows to some extent the rapid change of deep fields within the Earth itself . Closely tying in Sudden Volcanic instability and Tectonic movement on the planet .Starting back in January of this year activity changed and there has been Sudden change in the fields and under any number of Configurations in the last month .We have had the 4 groups ,Planar,Spherical,Elliptical & Empirical and at times extended periods of mixed hybrids with characteristic traits of all 4 with 2 different tail related events

This movie starts before the data disruption and then restarts as data resumes on the 23rd and takes us through activity on the 24th from the CCCMC BATSRUS

This day also afforded us to view an open field and at times uniquely closed ones and irregular activity like that before 19:00 on 3-24-2009, The dominant Configuration of the Magnetosphere over the last 2 days has been in the Spherical Cofiguration

Data Outage at CCMC , @ 15:07 ON 3-23-2009 ~ This breech voids the data between 15:07 & 21:32 on the 23rd of March. The outage of 7 hours makes it near impossible to create an accurate simulation until the Data resumed for the CCMC BATSRUS Models @ 21:32 on 3-23-2009

Though we were not supposed to have any serious Geo Magnetic Activity the Magnetometers were able to demonstrate the opposite and showed Component Variations at a number of reporting stations.




The Offical Outlook
3-day Solar-Geophysical Forecast issued Mar 23 22:00 UTC

Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low.

Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be predominantly quiet for the next three days (24-26 March).
