I had almost forgotten the date- 24th August 2010 as I am currently engrossed in preparing a synopsis relating to a product innovated by me and titled briefly as "BEST FROM WASTE SOUND"
As was mentioned in the earlier post, A large or I w'd call wedge Coronal hole which was rotating towards the earth was expected to face the earth side of the sun by 24th August 2010
A coronal hole has an area of open magnetic fields which actually help in the intensification of the solar winds. The planetary k index or kp plot showed unsettled levels during the late night of August 23! The KP was 2 just before the midnight when it plunged to 4 and indicating unsettled level
There was a massive fluctuation in the Electron flux just after a massive stream of Solar wind hit the earth causing disturbances in the geomagnetic field of the earth!
Since this coronal hole is now facing the earth, I w'd expect more disturbances in the next 48hrs
Since this coronal hole is now facing the earth, I w'd expect more disturbances in the next 48hrs
This one is triggering Auroras in high latitude regions! People should remain alert for auroras in the high latitude areas on the next 2 days.
