SPACE - S0 - 20210106 - Solar Wind Impact, Predicted Quake, New Missions
Good Morning, 0bservers!
Looks like we finally got that coronal hole stream/minor CME yesterday, with a rise in the Particle Density starting around 1000 UTC and peaking two hours later. Solar wind speeds, which had been riding the 300 KPS line for most of the morning, popped up to 450 KPS by early afternoon, dipped a bit before/around midnight UTC, but then took a second escalation to peak at over 620 KPS (current speed 570 KPS). That definitely got the KP-Index to stand up and notice, with a late-morning KP-4 (minor geomagnetic storm) followed by KP-2s and KP-3s, and then another KP-4 for the 0900 UTC reading. Nominal Proton Flux readings, but the Electron Flux did briefly breach the alert threshold early yesterday. The Magnetometer went a bit nuts, though, with some pretty wild swings from a high of over 140 nanoTeslas to a drop below 30 nT. That said, the X-Ray Flux is incredibly calm when compared to the past couple of weeks, with the baseline hugging the bottom of the Class A flare range.
