SPACE - S0 - 20200831 - Solar Eruption, Earth Discharges, Geoelectric Pathways
Good Morning, 0bservers!
Solar winds had calmed yesterday morning but they spiked up later to around 500 KPS, and stayed in the 440-500 KPS range before ramping up to about 540 KPS just after 0300, then spiking above 600 KPS for the first time in a while two hours later. Temps and particle density remained relatively steady. The jump may have been due to a combination of a coronal surge plus a shift in solar magnetic polarity, putting us into a solar storm situation. The KP-Index jumped to KP-4 (minor storm) after midnight, and then up a notch to KP-5. Watch for minor tech and health risks from this. A spike in the GOES Magnetometer seems to confirm this. Yesterday's Electron Flux, which had stayed under the SWPC Threshold, definitely jumped over it for most of the day, but it's back down below it (but only just). On the videos, we saw a strong kick-out from the Northern bright spots, which may also have contributed to the current storm. These were most visible at 193Å and 304Å. The lithosphere was a bit busier, with a Mag 5.0 off New Zealand, a 5.1 in the Philippines, a sharp Mag 6.5 along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (about midway between the "hump" of South America and the "hump" of Africa), a Mag 5.0 off Vanuatu, and a Mag 5.0 in Iran.
