Daily e-mail Feb. 10th 2013


Good Morning 

NO TELECON TODAY!!!

There was a CME last night, but it looks like it may have been too far north to be very geo-effective. Hopefully we'll find out more in the next few days. 

Payloads up:
SANAE IV: 1T
Halley 6:  1H, 1I, 1A




Payloads coming down:
1I and 1H are starting to (or have already) dipped below 27 km and may be terminated in the next few days.

Halley Bay :
quiet

GOES Electron Flux:
Have continued to be at normal to moderate levels and are expected to be the same for the next three days.
 
GOES Proton Flux:
Has stayed at background levels for the lat 24 hours and is expected to be the same over the next three days
 
Space Weather from Spaceweather.com and SWPC.noaa.gov
 
Solar wind speed is 364.8 km/s 
Solar proton density 0.6 cm^(-3) 
 
58 sunspots are now visible. NOAA has the likelihood of a M class flare at 10% and a 1% chance of an X class flare. There was a CME last night, but may be too far north to be geo-effective. 
 
Kp is quiet kp = 1 with a 24 max of kp = 1
Bz = 2.3 nT south
Btotal = 3.9 nT 
 
The third and final coronal hole from this last bunch is now on the western limb but may be too far south to be geo-effective. If we see solar winds from this hole, they are expected to reach us on Feb. 12th. 

From Kyoto:
AE: small amounts of activity
 
Dst: quiet. 
 
Enjoy this day off from the telecons!
