SPACE - S0 - 20200408 - Magnetic Explosion, IPCC Worried, USA Solar Risk
Good Morning, 0bservers!
We had a rise in particle density around 1800 EDT yesterday, which was followed by an increase in solar wind speeds near 2200. Most of yesterday afternoon and evening the speed stayed in the 300-320 KPS range, but that has ramped up to a current 400 KPS. Some strong shifts in solar magnetic stability, with the Phi Angle destabilizing just before midnight, appear to be the major factor in the increases. As a result of all this, the KP Index finally crawled off the floor , with KP-2s before midnight and KP-3s in the last pair of readings. The X-Ray flux seems to finally be calming down below the A-range, so it appears we're seeing the Northern bright spot's influence finally fading. There was a small (well, relatively, it was probably the size of a few dozen Earths) intra-atmosphere pop South of the bright spot, so don't expect anything from this. The coronal hole just South of the Equator just passed the midpoint, so we may be seeing its effects by the weekend. Only one quake of note yesterday, a Mag 5.2 off Tonga, with a small handful of blot echo activity as well.
