The Day Solar Wind Disappeared 2?

[MorningSong]

Hello Folks! I have some interesting info to throw at you. I am not a scientist instructed to deceifer the data that I wish to share with you. I'm just going on comparison and reason, and a lot of instinct.

For some time I have been monitoring the effects of Solar Wind in relation to earthquakes and I have stumbled onto something interesting.

Did any of you hear about the day Solar Wind disappeared? Well, it did from December 10-12, 1999.
Please look at this article:

http://www.solarviews.com/eng/sunpr1.htm

Please notice that the solar wind speed was mostly normal but proton/electon density dropped drastically in a very short period of time.

>”This severe change in the solar wind also changed the shape of Earth's magnetic field and produced an unusual auroral display at the North Pole.”<

>”Starting late on May 10 and continuing through the early hours of May 12, NASA's ACE and Wind spacecraft each observed that the density of the solar wind dropped by more than 98%. Because of the decrease, energetic electrons from the Sun were able to flow to Earth in narrow beams, known as the strahl. Under normal conditions, electrons from the Sun are diluted, mixed, and redirected in interplanetary space and by Earth's magnetic field (the magnetosphere). But in May 1999, several satellites detected electrons arriving at Earth with properties similar to those of electrons in the Sun's corona, suggesting that they were a direct sample of particles from the Sun.

"This event provides a window to see the Sun's corona directly," said Dr. Keith Ogilvie, project scientist for NASA's Wind spacecraft and a space physicist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland. "The beams from the corona do not get broken up or scattered as they do under normal circumstances, and the temperature of the electrons is very similar to their original state on the Sun."
Fourteen years ago, Scudder and Dr. Don Fairfield of Goddard predicted the details of an event such as occurred on May 11, saying that it would produce an intense "polar rain" of electrons over one of the polar caps of Earth. The polar caps typically do not receive enough energetic electrons to produce visible aurora. But in an intense polar rain event, Scudder and Fairfield theorized, the "strahl" electrons would flow unimpeded along the Sun's magnetic field lines to Earth and precipitate directly into the polar caps, inside the normal auroral oval. Such a polar rain event was observed for the first time in May when Polar detected a steady glow over the North Pole in X-ray images.”<

>”As the solar wind dissipates on May 11, 1999, the magnetosphere and bow shock around Earth expand to five times their normal size. The aurora, which usually forms ovals around Earth's poles, fills in over the northern polar cap.
According to observations from the ACE spacecraft, the density of helium in the solar wind dropped to less than 0.1% of its normal value, and heavier ions, held back by the Sun's gravity, apparently could not escape from the Sun at all. Data from NASA's SAMPEX spacecraft reveal that in the wake of this event, Earth's outer electron radiation belts dissipated and were severely depleted for several months afterward.”<

Is the same thing happening right now?

This is a 7-day graph of Solar Wind data from today, 19 April, 2010. Notice the “Density” data and how low it has been since the 17th of April.

Here you can see the polar cap and it's spectacular aurora of '99:
http://science.nasa.gov/science-news.../ast13dec99_1/

Now take a look at today's images of the aurora:
Northern Hemisphere: http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/pmap/pmapN.html
And here: http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/pmap/html/201004191736N19.html
Southern Hemisphere: http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/pmap/pmapS.html
And here: http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/pmap/html/201004191827S19.html
Notice how off-center the southern aurora is. I do not know why this is, but it has been pretty stationary for days.

Just to compare, here is the Northern Hemisphere aurora on the 16th:
http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/pmap/html/201004160003N18.html
And for the Southern Hemisphere also on the 16th:
http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/pmap/html/201004160055S18.html

I have been watching this intensely since the first of March. The aurora in closing up and this is a symptom of slowing Solar Wind. I don't know if it will continue. We will have to wait and see.

But what does this mean to us here on earth?

>”Dropping to a fraction of its normal density and to half its normal speed, the solar wind died down enough to allow physicists to observe particles flowing directly from the Sun's corona to Earth. This severe change in the solar wind also changed the shape of Earth's magnetic field and produced an unusual auroral display at the North Pole.”<

>”Earth's outer electron radiation belts dissipated and were severely depleted for several months afterward.”<

My hypothesis is this: if we were to get a CME or sudden burst of Solar Wind from a Coronal Hole, Earth is and will be more effected because of the weakened magnapause which gets its repelling ionic charge from a normal flow of solar plasma in Solar Wind, that which ha diminished right now.

Now for the “good” news:
Two huge Coronal Holes formed today. The solar wind burst should reach Earth on the 22nd.

The “bad” news:
A huge solar flare was recorded just before midnight on the 18th. When is the next one and will it hit Earth while the magnetopause is weakened?

Watch the magnetopause here: http://pixie.spasci.com/DynMod/


I admit that nowhere have I seen recent reports on an event similar to 1999 happening right now. I have only compared the event in 1999 to what I can see today. Fool or prophet, I may be right or I may be wrong.

I am still investigating this unusual event in 1999. I will be keeping an eye on the actual data, too.

All comments are more than welcome.

hi m-song

maybe see this thread...there's lots on there regading this...best l

******Edit******
Look at the 13's
13 is the number of change

[lightblue]

hi again m-song

Now for the “good” news:
Two huge Coronal Holes formed today. The solar wind burst should reach Earth on the 22nd.

why do you call it "good "news - why do you think it's that bad?

thanks l

[MorningSong]

Lightblue, Thank-you, but I am well aware of that thread. Did you read the 4th post?

And have you looked at the thread where I first posted the Boeing OP's info?

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...n-With-The-Sun

Things sure are getting interesting, aren't they?

Swanny...you are going to just be fine! You'll see! HUGS!

[Swanny]

Thanks Morning don't worry I'm excited about it
Looking forward to a massive change

[MorningSong]

Lightblue, I put the " " around the word good because solar wind actually recharges the magnetopause when all is in balance, give or take, like soap bubbles touching each other but none bursting its neighbor. Which really is good.

A slow or weakly charged solar wind causes the mangetopause to weaken, to get flabby, and then harmful rays and energized particles can pass right through reaching Earth.

Solar wind is not necessarily good if it comes at the Earth at a higher than normal velocity. For example, around Easter I was monitoring it and was posting updates all over the place because it got up to almost 800km/sec. And just look at the big EQs that happened. Coronal holes are linked to EQs... that's not quite "good" news, I don't think.

@ MorningSong

I'm still looking over all your info, but I'd like to say this is a great post and thanks for all your hard work gathering all the data.

I'm looking forward to see what happens so please keep us up to date and let us know if the sky is falling. (Really)


I forecast Dec 21 2012 to be a good day to get a tan?

Hi morning, nice shot. A lot of work to put it together. i like that.

But the SWPC shows often a complete drop in density. maybe its now so often that they dont mention it any more..

One thing is not so clear to me:

"Coronal holes are linked to EQs.." How ?

Nice pictures:
MIDNIGHT LIGHTS: A solar wind stream is buffeting Earth's magnetic field and causing auroras around the Arctic Circle. In Alaska, the green lights have been dancing across a canvas of twilight blue. "The sky no longer gets dark here at 65° north," reports LeRoy Zimmerman of Fairbanks. "The northern horizon now has constant light all night long. I took these panoramic shots during the midnight hours of April 22nd." http://www.spaceweather.com/submissi...1272067056.jpg

[MorningSong]

Yes, the auroras were exceptional from the 22nd through the 24th, and as the Solar Wind began buffering the Earth, they gradually have diminished almost to disappear for about an hour today around noon.

Southern Hemisphere peaked at 00:47 on the 23th with a level 10 and the Northern Hemisphere peaked with a level 9 at 00:19 on the 24th.

see: http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/pmap/Plots.html

[MorningSong]

After almost disappearing completely yesterday, this is what the Northern Aurora looks like today:



Here's the Southern Aurora:

Notice how it is still centered at about 30° longitude.
