Watch out for a geomagnetic storm after a large solar flare

Watch out for a geomagnetic storm after a large solar flare

Wednesday 30 March 2022

afternoon update

The Space Weather Prediction Center, a division of NOAA, released its geomagnetic storm watch on March 31, 2022. There were two solar flares from the sun on the side facing Earth. Corona mass ejection mass ejection (CME) is going our way and is measured as G3, or strong!

Here is a look at what happened and expectations.

The sun’s conspiracy

The expectation is a large display of northern light, but also the possibility of affecting and disrupting satellite communications. This can affect anything from GPS, TV/Radio subscriptions, and telephone service. In extreme cases, this can affect the power grid and the Internet. The most extreme case was in March 1989 when the electricity grid in Quebec, Canada, was flooded Electromagnetic activity.

The storm was on March 28, and the Space Weather Prediction Center tracked it down

Watch the geomagnetic storm

Please note that this states March 31st. Tonight in UTC

Earth is protected by the magnetosphere. These storms give rise to the aurora borealis in the northern hemisphere, also known as the aurora borealis. The stronger the storm, the further south the visible light will reach.

This has a good chance of getting into parts of New York and Pennsylvania.

To make it in Maryland, we need:

  • Planetary Index (Kp) of 7/8
  • Peak arrival at night
  • K planetary index.
  • a clear sky

I realize there are some spelling and grammatical errors. I’ve made some general statements over the years, but if you’re new here, you may have missed:

I have dyslexia, and discovered it in my second year at Cornell University. It didn’t prevent me from earning my degree in meteorology, and being the first to earn an AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington area.

I miss my mistakes in my proofreading. Auto-spelling on a PC sometimes does the unfairness of making it worse.

All maps and information are accurate. ‘Words’ can get sticky.

No editor can verify my work when i need it And have it ready to be sent out on a post-worthy schedule.

I accept this and it may prove that what you are reading is really from me…

It’s part of my magic.
