M3.3 Solar Flare From Sunspot 1718 - April 12, 2013

   Today we had a M3.3 solar flare from sunspot region 1718 peaking at 20:38 UTC
Today's M3.3 flare comes on the heels of the M6.5 solar flare that occurred yesterday (April 11th) around sunspot region 1719 peaking at 07:16 UTC.


 

   At this time the M3 flare from today does not appear to have produced a CME. We will however be monitoring the solar images to see if we see any signs of this changing. The M6 flare from yesterday did however produce a Earth directed CME that is due to arrive sometime in the early hours of Saturday April 13, 2013 when a moderate G2 geomagnetic storm is forecasted to occurred.

Event Issue Date: 2013-04-11 11:41:59.0 GMT
CME Arrival Time: 2013-04-13 05:57:21.0 GMT
Arival Time Confidence Level: ± 6 hours
Disturbance Duration: 5 hours
Disturbance Duration Confidence Level: ± 8 hours
Magnetopause Standoff Distance: 4.8 Re








This M6 solar flare + CME occurred while sunspot region 1719 was directly Earth facing and because of this, there is a S2 solar radiation storm that was set into effect due to the energetic solar protons flying past earth

SUMMARY: Proton Event 10MeV Integral Flux exceeded 100pfu
Begin Time: 2013 Apr 11 1630 UTC
Maximum Time: 2013 Apr 11 1645 UTC
End Time: 2013 Apr 11 1705 UTC
Maximum 10MeV Flux: 114 pfu

  2. The ability to work from anywhere with an internet connection provides me with greater flexibility while traveling, whether it be to visit family, travel to watch my favorite sports on TV. I’m looking for this kind of flexibility.
