NOAA is being grossly negligent in not issuing a K7 alert or warning. Spaceweatherlive lists the Kp=7.67 and Potsdam has had a Kp=7 for 3 hours now. NOAA's homebase Boulder magnetometer is at 7.3 and has been over 7 for some time now. AND STILL NO K7 ALERT FROM NOAA? WTF?

 Quoting: Hugh M Eye


The observed data is still just below 7(6.67)rather than the estimate..once it reaches the threshold they should issue the alert.
 Quoting: Spittin'Cesium


Being as it is just below a 7, it rates at the VERY LEAST a "Kp of 7 expected" alert. They can verify it has "threshold reached" later, like they do for all others.

It comes down to a failed attempt to calm the masses .... as we no longer trust them.
 Quoting: TS66


I don't think it's anything to do with calming the masses. I've never seen any masses getting into a panic over a Kp 7 warning before!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19756127

Maybe it is because "they" don't know what it means, but there are plenty of us that do.

Re: SOLAR WATCH * Huge X8.2 Flare Sept. 10, 2017! (Updated Daily)
I am learning so much from all of you! You all are truly amazing with your knowledge!

I have a few questions.

Does earths magnetic field begin to weaken when we are experiencing a longer lasting geomagnetic storm?

If we are experiencing a geomagnetic storm and there would be another X Flare, would that worsen the effects when the first particles reach earth in that 8 minute time frame?

I am still learning so I hope I worded my questions right.

Negligent is an incredibly nice way to put it.
 Quoting: TS66


I actually meant it in the legal sense. NOAA is charged with warning airlines, satellite operators, GPS sensitive industries, as well as the power grid operators. If a plane gets lost it could hit the side of a mountain. If a drilling operation has bad GPS data a catastrophe could result, and so on. NICT in Japan has specific warnings issued for the affected sectors. To put it simply, NOAA isn't doing its job. Hell, they even have trouble numbering sunspots, LOL.

NOAA decided months ago to stop using averages of the combined magnetometers for their Kp index. Well, this makes their index wrong. There is a reason that we do not have all of the magnetometers strung around the globe at the equator. In order to get accurate readings for forcasting, the magnetometers need to be placed in either very high, or low lattitudes, and all of the others are. So now the world knows what the kp index is for CO; well yippie yia yea, and who gives a shit? The readings are not accurate for anyone else; certainly not Europe, and not the pacific NW, the Midwest, or the North East US either. So NOAA is forcasting for CO, and doing a shitty, dirt bag job of it.

This is the exact reason why we are always concerned about the orientation of these CMEs. The ion temp has dropped dramatically, the wind speed is down, the proton count is low now but this long continued -BznT is continuing to drive the Kp up. Shields are "down" and the solar particles are flowing in at the poles.

I am still learning so I hope I worded my questions right.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17338098


Good questions, I'll try answer but I can barely type at this point. Hopefully someone else will help out here.

The first question depends on many factors. In this case, with the Bz well-south for a long period of time, I would tend to say "yes". Because of the direct connection to the solar wind plasma, more energy from the sun is charging up the ionosphere, the magneto-tail, and the radiation belts. This causes stronger aurora, magnetic disturbances, and ground currents. Usually, most of this energy is deflected by the Earth's magnetic field.

Another X-flare now would probably not have any more severe effects on the surface, but a proton storm may have a bigger effect on the ionosphere which is already disturbed. Now another big CME would definitely have a stronger effect because the radiation belts are already charged up. I hope that's corrrect, lol.

What's your source that they stopped using the network of magnetometers? Here it says they still use a network strewn across the world [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov]

It also shows that NOAA's Planetary Kp readings differ from the Boulder readings on the chart right there, contradicting your claim that they abandoned their global network and are only using Boulder. hf
