SPACE - S0 - 20200926 - Big Coronal Hole, Earthquake Watch, Your Input
Good Morning, 0bservers!
Solar winds have stayed elevated since yesterday, riding the 500 KPS line (with peaks and valleys 50 KPS either side of that line). The density stayed on a rock solid path all day and night, and the temperature had a few minor variations but nothing of serious import. We're still in a solar storm, though, with two KP-5 (red) readings yesterday and this morning, bracketing a couple of KP-4s (yellow) readings. The X-Ray Flux, however, got some definite spikes into the mid-B Class range, and one just after midnight UTC that touched the C Class range before dipping back down to mid-A Class. The Electron Flux crested well above the threshold as well. The solar videos didn't show any obvious/major ejections, but that Northern coronal hole is just getting to the midpoint now (and it's a big'un!), while the bright spot is maybe 24-36 hours from that position. The good news is the magnetogram is definitely showing more decay in the magnetic complexity, but caution should still be applied here. There's also a lot of incoming glow from the lim, so this will definitely continue. Only one temblor yesterday, a Mag 5.2 in Turkmenistan, and a handful of blot echoes ranging from Mag 4.6-5.1.
