Space Weather

The BGS (British Geological Survey) has issued a rare geomagnetic storm forecast covering the period until midnight UT 23 March. Note that this forecast does not account for the increased activity we saw this afternoon at mid-latitudes, which could have been the storm arriving very early!

BGS: Yesterday afternoon a faint but fast Earth-directed CME was observed. The source was a filament eruption from a central location on the solar disk, associated with a M1 solar flare from a nearby active region.

BGS: Models suggest this may arrive in the first forecast interval (late 22, or early 23). The combination of CME impacts and a high-speed solar wind stream from a coronal hole may result in STORM activity.

BGS: As we are near the equinox, when the Earth is more susceptible to solar activity, it is possible geomagnetic activity could reach STORM G3.

I forget to add hashtags in my introduction, hi I'm Paul Denton #seismologist from #rutland UK, ex of #BGS and university of #leicester I like #sailing and am interested in #citizenscience and #scicomm as well as #seismology #earthquakes #Volcanos . I spent some time running the UK #schoolseismology network and follow #LeicesterCity FC where I measured #footyquakes. I became obsessed with #slinky but have moved on to #lego as my preferred medium for building seismometers.
