 The
Sun continues to cycle up. It is expected for a possible sudden
series flares and CME's to commence within 48 hours. Watch for
aurora borealis, geomagnetic storms, possible satellite disturbance,
and maybe power grids to be interrupted.
Flares
and CMEs
- A total
of 6 C and 6 M class events were recorded on March 28.
- Region
9403 produced a C7.1 flare at 00:50 UT.
- Region
9401 generated a C5.6 flare at 01:38 UT.
- Region
9393 was the source of an M1.1 flare at 01:58, a C5.7 flare
at 06:40, an M1.3 flare at 09:47, a long duration M4.3 event
peaking at 12:40 UT, an M1.6 flare at 19:09, an M1.6/1N flare
at 22:47 and an M2.2/1F flare at 23:30 UT.
- Region
9397 produced a C9.9 flare at 10:47 UT.
- Region
9408 generated a C8.2 flare at 09:18 UT.
Two
full halo CME's were observed during the day, the halos
were similar in appearance, brightness and velocity and may have
had the same source. The first halo was observed in LASCO C2 images
beginning at 01:27 UT while the second was first observed at 12:50
UT. LASCO EIT images unfortunately do not point conclusively to
a source for either of the CMEs. The long duration M4.3 event
in region 9393 may have contributed to the latter halo, however,
there is a possibility both events may have a backside origin.
If both or one of the CMEs had a frontside origin Earth will receive
an impact sometime between noon on March 30 and noon on March
31.
Equation:
Sunspots => Solar Flares => Magnetic Shift
=> Shifting Ocean and Jet Stream Currents => Extreme Weather
