Severe Weather Forecaster
A coupled effect from a small coronal high speed stream and recent Interplanetary magnetic field trip on Oct 5 2010 has set a G1 Geomagnetic storm on the earth as per NOAA
NOAA forecasters were pretty confident since last few days regarding the Isolated active period on 11th Oct and some time on 12th Oct 2010
At present,
The Kp index is 5 at present with solar wind nearing to 370km/sec
There is a massive fluctuation in electron flux
HIGH LATITUDE OBSERVERS EVEN TO SOME MID LATITUDE OBSERVERS SHOULD REMAIN ALERT FOR AURORAS ON 11TH AND 12TH OCT AT NIGHT PERIOD
THINGS ARE NOW CALMING DOWN WITH NOAA FORECAST SHOWING NO STORM ONSET IN RECENT.
