#Weekly Highlights and Forecasts

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 06 - 12 November 2017

Solar activity was very low throughout the period under a spotless disk. The only activity was an eruptive filament observed in the NE quadrant beginning at 10/0630 UTC in SDO/AIA 304 imagery. An associated CME was observed off the eastern limb in SOHO/LASCO C2 imagery beginning at 10/0824 UTC, however subsequent analysis showed no Earth-directed component. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at normal levels on 06-07 Nov and reached high levels on 08-12 Nov. The largest flux of the period was 25,349 pfu observed at 11/1435 UTC.

Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet to G2 (Moderate) storm levels over the period. The period began with solar wind speeds between 285-355 km/s and total field around 4 nT. At approximately 07/0300 UTC, phi angle switched from a negative solar sector to positive. Additionally, an increase in solar wind speed and total field was observed due to the arrival of a co-rotating interaction

*************************

All of our web has now been refreshed and edited.

New scripts are in place for the 2 observation submission options, and even for the joining platform.

This has been done for everyone's safety.

*************************

MINIMUM Cycle 24/25 is expected to occur at the very end of 2019.

Predicted extreme between April/May 2019 and March/April 2020.

Unfortunately, the annual number of CV-observations have dropped,

and we need more observers! Currently we are now at a level comparable to Mar 1999! Join in at www.cv-helios.net/join2.php

Want Solar Coordinates?

Daily list of Solar Ephemeris for 2017 available at:

http://www.cv-helios.net/helio2017/

Here you can see Today's Po, Bo, Lo, Rotation no., RA and Dec. for the year 2017.

Comes with tilted Stoneyhurst-chart to use for observations!

For your convenience and security, use the mif2002,

http://www.cv-helios.net/mif2002.xls

the Monthly Input Form, which you can use for all of your next reportings! Note! A new .php script is going to be launched this year,

instead of the old, outdated and unsecure .cgi that has been used for about 17 years.

CV-Helios Network: Monitor MPR progress as entries are made!

In order for the observers to monitor that their submissions

have been registered at CV-Helios Network, a new feature has been made in March 2014:

Just enter the following link in your internet browser and you will see a page containing today's date and a further link into an excel sheet that is created automatically for every Entry made to the CV-Helios Network database and also one copy for every day of the year. The preliminary MPR visible will remain visible for the entire calendar month.

The data are available fresh from about 10:00 UTC until local midnight. Another feature made gives you daily information for the last 6 rotations for:

Date, USAF-CV, USAF-CV6rot, FluxAdj, FluxAdj6rot, FluxObs, FluxObs6rot, SunspotArea, SunspotArea6rot, PIndex6rot, Lat. N/S hem.6rot, SolarWind, SolarWind6rot.

Use this link to see also this feature. http://cv-helios.net/helios/cv/web/mprpost.html http://www.cv-helios.net/cgi/data/datlist.txt

IMPORTANT NOTICE!

 

 

2017 Sep 07

Due to cases of spamming and our host does not appreciate us using cgi-scripts

 

during submission of observer forms, the scripts have been altered.

 

Observers will not notice the changes made, but they should now be much safer

 

when we now go over to php-scripts. Good Luck!
