STD Forecast Notes Update - 17.07UT

[Peter Kuklok]

LAST UPDATE: 19 JULY 2002, 17:07 UTC (1:07 pm EDT 19 July):

There's a lot of activity happening:

Shock #1 impacted the Earth near 10:10 UTC (6:10 am EDT).
Shock #2 impacted the Earth near 15:14 UTC (11:14 am EDT).

A third apparent shock (with a rather complex velocity signature) was
observed passing the ACE spacecraft at 16:12 UTC (12:12 pm EDT). This last
event has pushed the average solar wind velocity to near 800 km/sec.
Although the IMF remains pointed generally northward, the potential for
intensified auroral substorm activity has increased substantially.

Hört sich ja ganz nett an, wobei mir die Teilchendichte (z.Zt. NULL) echte Sorgen bereitet.

Grüße
Peter
