SPACE - S0 - 20210325 - CME & Solar Storm, California Quake Risk, SMOS
Good Morning, 0bservers!
Looks like we got brushed by that second CME from earlier in the week, with a second Particle Density rise yesterday around 1100 UTC. Solar winds bottomed out around 370 KPS at 1800 UTC, but then it took a sharp rise to 450 KPS before starting another slow downward trend. Current speed is in the 400-410 KPS range. Temperature dropped significantly around the time of the second Particle Density rise, but then started a steady return to its previous level. The Phi Angle also went both doo and lally (yes, that is a scientific term) during both points of increase. Those surges produced a level-1 geomagnetic storm (KP-5) on the KP-Index around 0300, reducing to KP-4 (minor geomagnetic storm) in the next two readings. Otherwise, yesterday had been green all across the chart. The Magnetometer was up high to 120 nt, but then dropped to the 40 nt threshold around midnight UTC. Proton Flux remained nominal, and Electron Flux remained un-nominal (a-nominal? anti-nominal? contra-nominal?). X-Ray Flux background radiation moved down a bit from yesterday, now around the middle of the Class A flare range. However, we did see a pretty good spike into the middle of Class B around 2100 UTC. Video loops are still showing that long thin coronal hole passing through the midpoint, but I didn't see any major sparks, flares, surges or releases from the surface (at multiple wavelengths).
