SPACE - S0 - 20200229 - New "Official" Extreme Sun Science, Particle Mystery, Dragonfly 

Good Morning, 0bservers!

   

Happy LEAP Day!

Looks like that coronal hole stream finally arrived about midday yesterday, after a rise in particle density about six hours prior to that. Solar wind speeds ramped up to about 500 KPS and then slowed down a bit to the 400-420 KPS range. It looked like there was a cosmic ray spike on the detectors around 0400, but that seems to be an anomalous false reading. The KP Index remains well within the safe zone with KP-1s and KP-2s. A new equatorial coronal hole seems to be growing, about two days from the midpoint, so we'll keep an eye on that one. I was looking for a bit more action from the Northeast lim for bright spot activity, but they seem to have faded a bit. Still watching them to see what develops. The lithosphere was about the same as yesterday, with a Mag 5.3 NNW of the South Sandwich Islands, a Mag 5.0 NE of Aksu China, another hit off Tonga with a Mag 5.3, and a Mag 5.1 off New Caledonia.
