Re: "Geometry" (? !) in Solar Coronal Holes?
Solar wind
speed: 388.0 km/sec
density: 7.4 protons/cm3
X-ray Solar Flares
6-hr max: C9 2017 UT Jun13
24-hr: M2 0756 UT Jun13
Crackling activity, with a couple sunspots that have the magnetics required to evoke up to X class flares earth facing.
IN the midst of the particle stream from the 10th's events, (3 day delay about), the electron flux is elevated as well as proton count. The proton count has been higher. (see days before) such as the second June.
Radio Sun
10.7 cm flux: 175 sfu
Planetary K-index
Now: Kp= 3 quiet
24-hr max: Kp= 3 quiet
Interplanetary Mag. Field
Btotal: 5.8 nT
Bz: 3.3 nT south
At the moment, there really is nothing spectacular going on, just some elevated levels..
As far as coronal holes and geometry earth facing, this is about the most blank we have seen in a while, nada, zip..
(yawn)..
NOAA and NASA reports no earth facing coronal holes. Also, there is a potential for CME flares from the earth facing sun spots.
There have been radio disturbances over the last 3 days from X-Class flaring (which was not primarily earth facing, but induced a bit of a glancing beam).
