Oct 11:  G3 (Strong)   Oct 12:  G1 (Minor)   Oct 13:  None (Below G1)
THIS SUPERSEDES ANY/ALL PRIOR WATCHES IN EFFECT

Comment: This supersedes the previous G4 (Severe) geomagnetic storm watch for 11 Oct as potential has diminished. A G3 (Strong) geomagnetic storm watch remains in place for 11 Oct, along with a G1 (Minor) watch for 12 Oct,  as CME effects continue to wane.

through 14 Oct as AR 3848 approaches the western limb.

Radio blackouts reaching the R1 levels were observed over the past 24
hours. The largest was at Oct 11 2024 1633 UTC.

Extended Space Weather Discussion:

Solar Activity

.24 hr Summary...
Solar activity was at moderate levels. Region 3848 (N13W53,
Dko/beta-gamma) was overall stable and relatively quiet this period.
Region 3849 (S07W30, Dai/beta-gamma) underwent some consolidation in its
intermediate area while remaining relatively quiet as well. Region 3852
(S09E12, Ehi/beta-gamma) underwent evolution in its large, leading
penumbra as it gained additional spots. Likewise, Region 3854 (S04E20,
Dai/beta-gamma) underwent evolution, gaining additional spots in
its intermediate area and increasing in overall length. This AR was
responsible for M1.4 and M2.1 flares at 11/1604 UTC and 11/1633 UTC,
respectively. Region 3842 (S13, L=181) added a long-duration M1.1 flare
at 11/2320 UTC, even though it was well beyond the western limb.

The aforementioned M-class flares from AR 3854 were associated with an
easterly CME, first seen in SOHO coronagraph imagery at approximately
11/1748 UTC. Initial analysis of this event indicated possible glancing
influences at Earth on 16 Oct, but the bulk of the plasma appears to be
ahead of the Earth. As supplemental imagery fills in, additional
analysis will be conducted to narrow down impacts and arrival time.

.Forecast...
Solar activity is likely to be moderate (R1-R2, Minor-Moderate) with a
chance for X-class flares (R3, Strong) through 14 Oct.

Energetic Particle

.24 hr Summary...
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was at normal to moderate levels.
The greater than 10 MeV proton flux reached a peak of 14.5 pfu at
11/0020 UTC and has since steadily decreased to well below the SWPC
warning threshold.

.Forecast...
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to be at normal to
moderate levels with a chance for high levels through 14 Oct due to
post-CME effects. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to
remain at background levels with a slight chance for a solar radiation
storm event through 14 Oct as AR 3848 approaches the western limb.

Solar Wind

.24 hr Summary...
Solar wind parameters reflected weakening CME effects. Total field
steadily decreased from a peak of 40 nT to 10-11 nT over the course of
the period. The Bz component began the period strongly oriented
southward reaching -37 nT, but gradually rotated back to
neutral/northward with magnetic cloud passage. Wind speeds varied
somewhat reaching peaks just under 800 km/s early in the UTC day, but
have since decreased to ~650 km/s. Phi was predominantly negative while
taking brief excursions to a positive orientation late in the period.

.Forecast...
Weakening CME effects are expected to continue over the course of 12
Oct. Weak enhancements are anticipated for 13 and 14 Oct due to CH HSS
influences.

Geospace

.24 hr Summary...
The geomagnetic field reached G4 (Severe) geomagnetic storm levels
during the early periods of 11 Oct. These then gave way to diminishing
synoptic periods of G3 (Strong) geomagnetic storming to then later
active conditions.

.Forecast...
The geomagnetic field is likely to reach G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storm
levels, with a chance for an isolated G2 (Moderate) storm period, on 12
Oct as effects from a CME that left the sun on 09 Oct continue to wane.
Quiet to unsettled conditions with isolated active periods are expected
on 13-14 Oct due to weak CH HSS effects.

  • GRAPH OPTIONS: Learn more
    It is recommended that you start out with the default options. As you get used to AF you can disable additional information and combine data series' together to maxamise the use of screen space.

  • DATA SOURCES: Learn more
    Some data sources can only be enabled or disabled via the tick box. Others are disabled using the slider set to 0, or enabled by setting the slider from 0.5 to 4. This number also represents the thinkness of the line plot onto the graph.

  • 'The' Aurora Forecast Index: Learn more
    These are two good options for predicting Auroras.

    The Aurora Forecast Index takes into account many data sources. As a general rule if it stays high for many hours there is a good possibility of an Aurora present.

    Aurora Forecast website usage is also a good indicator, as visitors to the site come from many traffic sources. General internet and community chatter transplating to visits is a great indicator.

  • Planatary K Index (Kp): Learn more
    The Kp number is a system of measuring aurora strength. The range goes from 0 to 9 (0 being calm, 1 very weak, all the way up to 9, which would represent a major geomagnetic storm with strong auroras visible).

    Kp 5 and above is classified as a geomagnetic storm. Most Aurora Hunters consider prolonged 3+ or higher worth investigation.

  • Ovation (Model) Short Term Forecast (GW):' Learn more
    The Ovation-Prime Model produced by SWPC calculates the energy interacting with the Earths magnetic field. This is a good indicator for Aurora activity.
  • DSCOVR Observatory (L1): Learn more

    The DSCOVR or Deep Space Climate Obervatory sits 1.5 million Kilometers from Earth, between the Earth and the Sun in the L1 orbit point, the neutral gravity point between the Earth and the Sun. DSCOVR provides space weather readings, allowing for up to an hour of warning on weather events. This is why DSCOVR's data appears in the future on the graph.

    Strong negative Bz direction is linked to Aurora's because the solar wind magnetic direction is in direct oposition with the Earths magnetic field.

  • ACE Observatory (L1): Learn more

    ACE or Advanced Composition Explorer sits 1.5 million Kilometers from Earth, between the Earth and the Sun in the L1 orbit point, the neutral gravity point between the Earth and the Sun. ACE has now been replaced by DSCOVR, but the data is still useful for comparing to DSCOVR.
  • GOES Satalites: Learn more

    GOES or Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites sit 46 Kilometers above the Earth in geostationary orbit. They provide local space weather data and are a good indicator for current geomagnetic conditions.

  • Terrestrial Magnetometer Sources: Learn more
    Terrestrial or surface magnetometers detect fluctuations in the Earths magnetic field from the ground.
    These do not work as well as satalites as the magnetic field obsorbs some of the effects from the solar winds.
    There is a mix of govenment and citizen science stations listed here, including two run by Aurora Forecast in Hobart.
  • User Magnetometer ID's: Learn more
    If you have a TAFS Magnetometer and you want to add it to the graph you can do it here.
    Insent your Mag's Unique ID.
