#Weekly Highlights and Forecasts

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 05 - 11 February 2018

Solar activity was at very low levels on 05, 08-09 and 11 Feb while low levels were observed on 06-07 and 10 Feb. All of the period's activity originated from Region 2699 (S07, L=165, class/area Dai/240 on 10 Feb). The largest observed event was a C8 flare observed at 07/1347 UTC. No Earth-directed CME activity was detected during the period.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at normal levels the entire period.

Geomagnetic field activity was at predominately quiet levels under a nominal solar wind regime. Isolated unsettled intervals were observed on 05, 09 and 10 Feb.

Image Reports

Region 2696 (11S 123 Rot 2199) here on Jan 17,

was the largest region of January, though only 30 mvh.

At a mere class CRO it lasted only 5 days, from 16 Jan to 20 Jan.

To the right, CV-107 Monty Leventhal OAM's drawing from the very same day.

We will of course bring photos of Region 2699 of February, next issue

Daily list of Solar Ephemeris for 2018 available at:

http://www.cv-helios.net/helio2018/

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instead of the old, outdated and unsecure .cgi that has been used for about 17 years.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

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!
