#Weekly Highlights and Forecasts

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 04 - 10 June 2018

Solar activity was mostly at very low levels with an isolated

C-class flare observed at 06/1100 UTC from Region 2712 (N15, L=176, class/area Csi/080 on 28 May) from just beyond the West limb. The solar disk was spotless from 06-10 Jun. No Earth-directed coronal mass ejections (CMEs) were observed during the reporting period.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels throughout the period with a maximum flux of 19,491 pfu observed at 06/1705 UTC.

Geomagnetic field activity ranged from quiet to active levels over the period. Solar wind speed was in decline from a negative polarity coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) on 04-05 Jun with solar wind speeds declining from approximately 630 km/s to near 450 km/s while total field ranged from 2 nT to 9 nT. The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels on 04-05 Jun. By midday on 06 Jun, an enhancement in total field was observed reaching a maximum of 11 nT at 07/0635 UTC.

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.

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!
