Want to learn more about geomagnetic storms and what caused the incredible Northern Lights display last night? Here’s a five-minute explainer: https://lnkd.in/euHT5hvy #NorthernLights #NorthernLightsuk #Auroraborealis #AuroraBoreal #solarstorm

Last night, an impressive supercell swept across western Victoria. What's most interesting is the path the storm took - it starts off moving east (with the mean wind direction of the atmosphere), but as it intensifies it tracks northeast before shifting more E/NE once it weakens. This often occurs in supercells as they contain a rotating updraft. Without going into complex mathematical equations, in the Southern Hemisphere, the rotating updraft generates more buoyancy on one side of the updraft (normally the left). This results in the updraft tracking to the left of the mean storm flow causing it to deviate off course. Eventually the storms weakens and was likely no longer a supercell, resulting in the storm track more easterly again with the atmospheric flow.

Multiple Earth-Directed Solar Storms & X-Flares on All Sides (Earth facing and Sun’s far side). Yesterday the 27th there was a large X 11-Class solar flare on the far side of the sun and four M-Class solar storms merging into a cannibal CME that is Earth-directed (UPDATED now TWO CMEs headed to Earth both impacting in next 48 hours). Early today the 28th we had a 9.8 M-Class flare that went off like a tsunami with high density and velocity. All this while sunspots are suddenly emerging and clustering/ enlarging causing a concentrated energy flux on the earth’s facing side. Meanwhile, we have a strange anomalous low in earthquake activity (calm before the storm). The concentrated Earth-directed energy flux that follows and over the next couple of weeks is expected to intensify increasing the likelihood of more earthquakes, adverse weather, and radio blackouts. Those in earthquake-prone zones please be vigilant! A short version of the video update is below from space weather physicist Dr.Tamitha Skov- 9 minutes.

Geomagnetic solar storm has hit Earth. Global communication networks, power grids, etc. may get impacted. Level: G5 (strongest one) The latest geomagnetic storm hitted Earth on Friday, May 10, and continue through Sunday, May 12, 2024. Here are some details about the storm - At least seven coronal mass ejections from the sun have been observed, which is a rare occurrence. - The storm is expected to be severe, with the potential to disrupt communication and satellite services. - The aurora borealis and aurora australis, or northern and southern lights, may be visible in parts of the world where they are not typically seen. - The storm could potentially cause power outages and disrupt critical infrastructure. - The storm is not expected to be dangerous to human bodies. #GeomagneticStorm

Map of total Fire Radiative Power from global #wildfires and open burning in September 2024 in the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service's (CAMS) Global Fire Assimilation System (GFAS) dataset, based on MODIS 🛰 active fire observations (https://lnkd.in/ePSpqGwn). Significant active fires in North America continued at high intensity during the first half of the month, with some of the historic fires in South America continuing through the peak of the fire season. High intensity wildfires also affected northern Portugal and can be clearly seen on the map. In terms of overall global total estimated fire emissions since 2003, the January September total was the second highest total, after 2023, since 2015.

This is what I got... solar panel also dangerous to make the tornado or thyphon's attack... Be careful because magnetic inside the earth have a function to make balancing rotation for earth..if we taken too much, it will impact to time rotation (speed rotation changing speed for time, night and days unpredictable too)

Navigation aids = GPS. This includes ships.

Map of total Fire Radiative Power from global #wildfires and open burning in March 2024 in the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service's (CAMS) GFAS dataset, based on MODIS 🛰 active fire observations (https://lnkd.in/e6PeeSSp). There have been mostly seasonal tropical fires across South America, Africa and Southeast Asia but with some above average fires throughout the month in Mexico and parts of South America (Brazil's Roraima state, Bolivia, Paraguay). Fires in Southeast Asia have generally been well below average but have still resulted in haze and degraded air quality across the region. March, and January-March, global total estimated fire emissions have been fairly typical for the last two decades.

Although we are calming down from several solar storms that hit back to back over the past week and gave us some decent aurora, our Sun isn't calming down. We have four active regions that are about to rotate into Earth view that have been firing big flares and launching solar storms on the Sun's farside. Two of these regions are familiar big-flare players from the previous rotation. In fact, one of them (old Region 3786) fired an M5.6-flare causing an R2-level radio blackout just a few hours ago. Along with that flare, it also launched a big non-Earth-directed solar storm and a weak radiation storm too. Expect this region, along with the other three to rotate into Earth-view over the next 24 to 48 hours. This means radio noise and radio blackout risk is expected to increase on Earth's dayside over the coming week. We also could be in for more Earth-directed solar storm launches later this week as well. Learn the details of these new regions about to rotate into Earth view, find out if any aurora will be visible, and see what else our Sun has in store this week.
