M5.6 Flare + Massive Earth Directed CME from Sunspot Region 1515 - July 2, 2012

    Sunspot region 1515 just had a M5.6 Flare peeking at 10:52 UTC this morning. Sunspot region 1515 is located in the southern region of the solar disk and is in a directly earth facing position for the next few days. There was a large CME produced in association with todays M5.6 solar flare and due to the position of 1515, his CME would be Earth directed. We have also noticed 2 other possible earth effective CME's that occured earlier in the day. We are going through more data on todays events and will report anything we find.
There remains chances for further M flares today and possibly even a X flare.



Today's M5.6 solar flare comes on the heals of a string of flares we have had over this last week. Here is a list of the most recent M flares we have had.

Updated @ 22:58 UTC July 2, 2012:



   The 3rd M flare of July 2, 2012 has just occured.
M2.0 Flare on 7/02/2012 @ 23:56 UTC - Sunspot 1515
In the SDO image to the left, we can see there was a CME produced in association with this M flare event.

A 10cm radio burst was associated with this M flare

Space Weather Message Code: SUM10R
Serial Number: 547
Issue Time: 2012 Jul 02 2108 UTC
SUMMARY: 10cm Radio Burst
Begin Time: 2012 Jul 02 2001 UTC
Maximum Time: 2012 Jul 02 2002 UTC
End Time: 2012 Jul 02 2002 UTC
Duration: 1 minutes
Peak Flux: 190 sfu
Latest Penticton Noon Flux: 166 sfu
Description: A 10cm radio burst indicates that the electromagnetic burst associated with a solar flare at the 10cm wavelength was double or greater than the initial 10cm radio background. This can be indicative of significant radio noise in association with a solar flare. This noise is generally short-lived but can cause interference for sensitive receivers including radar, GPS, and satellite communications.

  2. You actually make it appear so easy along with your presentation

  4. Nevertheless, the baseline explanation includes areas like wrongfully administered medical treatment,
    damages arising from a doctor's incompetence and resulting loss
    in terms of well-being and money for the patient. California Personal Injury
    Lawyers face an uphill task trying to provide exception defense
    tactics for their plaintiff. Lawyer's understand this game and could turn around any offer the insurance agency offers you.
