SPACE - S0 - 20201124 - Solar Forcing on Human Health, Technology and Weather
Good Morning, 0bservers!
Oh, deary deary DEAR, another data dropout day on the ol' detectors. Luckily, it seems to have lasted only about six hours, and from what I can see, we didn't miss much. Solar wind speeds topped out around 650 KPS yesterday morning, slid down to the 500-550 KPS range right before the detectors knocked out before midnight UTC, and the current speed is in the 440-460 KPS. Density and Temperature stayed pretty steady on average (some anomalous drops were on the Temp chart, but it seems more like a detector error). The KP-Index really calmed down from yesterday's brief solar storm, giving us pretty much KP-2s with a couple KP-1s thrown in. Electron Flux readings went over the threshold, but the Magnetometer chart showed activity in the normal range. The X-Ray Flux chart did have a dropout as well, but only on one of the two detectors, while the other one (the primary) showed readings in the high Class B flare range, with a strong spike into mid-Class C right before midnight UTC. You can see it on the video loops, most especially at 304Å. It is, of course, coming from the new sunspot group, and the Magnetogram is showing one rather LARGE spot on the surface. The magnetic complexity has to be at least in the Beta-Delta range.
