Good Morning, 0bservers!
Solar winds were mostly calm yesterday, peaking at 355 KPS in the early morning hours and then dropping to around 325 KPS, but at around 0300 UTC when it nearly touched the 300 KPS line it started going up again, now in the 340-370 KPS range. It doesn't appear to be driven by Particle Density, which has had a couple mild movements up or down in the period. We did see a pretty steep rise in Temperature readings from about 4100°K at 0200-0300 UTC to nearly 5200°K a few hours later, where the line currently resides on the chart. The Bt/Bz showed a WIDE polarity gap around 1600-2000 UTC, but then it started colliding after midnight UTC, with multiple collisions around 0400 UTC which pretty much scrambled the Phi Angle for a few hours. Those polarity perturbations definitely drove up the KP-Index readings to KP-2 for most of the afternoon/evening, but we had a couple KP-3s thrown in at 2100 and 0900 UTC for good measure. The Magnetometer peaked above 120 nT and dropped below 60 nT in an exaggerated sine wave, but it's still within the nominal range. Also nominal are the Proton Flux and Electron Flux readings. X-Ray production remained elevated in the background radiation levels around mid-Class B, but we did see a low-Class C flare around 1800 UTC. Looks like they may have been produced at or just beyond the Northwest lim. The Northern coronal hole has connected with the larger polar hole and is just now passing central heliographic longitude (that's science-y talk for "middle").
