#Weekly Highlights and Forecasts

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 02 - 08 April 2018

Solar activity was at very low levels throughout the period with only a few low level B-class flare observed on 03 Apr from Region 2703 (S08, L=193, class/area Axx/010 on 31 Mar). No Earth-directed coronal mass ejections were observed.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels on 02-04 Apr and at moderate levels on 05-08 Apr. The largest flux of the period was 2,150 pfu observed at 02/1915 UTC.

Geomagnetic field activity was mostly quiet with unsettled periods observed on 05 Apr. Solar wind speed began the period slightly enhanced near 470 km/s with total field around 4-5 nT. Solar wind speed declined to near 320 km/s by 04 April before increasing briefly to near 450 km/s by late on 05 Apr. Total field increased to

a maximum of 9 nT at 05/2130 UTC. By 07 Apr, solar wind speed had decreased to 330-380 km/s while the total field decreased to 5 nT or less.

Image Reports

At a time where not much is happening on the visible solar surface, it is a good choice to see what is gong on with coronal holes.

The above image from 7 March shows an image taken from

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory that is monitoring the structure of the sun, showing a coronal hole which stretches more than 700,000 km from

the sun's north pole to its equator.

http://www.spaceweather.com/archive.php?view=1&day=01&month=03&year=2018

Please check out www.cv-helios.net/cvrep2.html for updates of files!

MINIMUM Cycle 24/25 is expected to occur at the very end of 2019/start 2020. Predicted extreme early April/May 2019, but most likely min. is March 2020.

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instead of the old, outdated and unsecure .cgi that has been used for about 17 years.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