SPACE - S0 - 20210703 - M Class Solar Flare, Earth's Fading Field, Flying V
Good Morning, 0bservers!
It's not been a great day for solar weather, folks. The calming of solar winds ended around 1400 UTC when there was a sharp Phi Angle shift caused by a polarity collision on the Bt/Bz chart. The latter has had a few other collisions since then but the Phi Angle has remained (mostly) steady since 1500 UTC (like I said, a SHARP Phi Angle shift). Solar wind speeds didn't get to what would be high levels, more like the lower end of moderate, jumping from a low of 420 KPS to a high around midnight UTC of 510 KPS, staying at that level before dropping down at 0600 UTC. It's currently heading downward again to around 450 KPS. Particle Density mostly followed the wind speed pattern, with the same drop this morning, and the Temperatures marched almost in lock-step. Surprisingly, the KP-Index remained calm, a combination of KP-1 and KP-2 readings. Magnetometer readings continued to be nominal, as did the Proton Flux and Electron Flux. And then, there's the X-Ray Flux. Yeah, not lookin' good there, folks. Most of yesterday was background radiation which move up into the middle of Class B, but started spiking around 2000 UTC. Then, at 0200, we saw a spike into the upper range of Class C, followed by a lower level Class C flare about three hours later. And then, the biggie - a mid-Class M flare around 0800 UTC. The video loops at 131Å seem to indicate the Class C flares came from the sunspot group in the Southwest, still within striking range of Earth, whereas the Class M was in the Northwest sunspot, near the lim and facing mostly away from us. Thankfully. The LASCO C3 showed what looks like a pretty large CME starting around 1700 UTC, shooting out from the West. I couldn't see it on the other video loops, so (hopefully) it was headed away from Earth or coming from the "dark" side of the Sun. That said, neither version of ENLIL Spiral showed it. Which means either they haven't updated yet, or it was too diffuse to make the cut. My bet's on the former...
