INFO FROM SIDC - RWC BELGIUM 2014 Nov 10 12:42:18
NOAA active region 2205 produced another M flare (M2.3) peaking at 15:32 UT
as well as another handful of C flares.
The CME corresponding to yesterdays
filament eruption is confirmed to be
non Earth directed.
Flaring at M level is expected to continue from region 2205, while old
region
2192 is about to rotate back onto the disc.
With NOAA AR rotating onto the western hemisphere chances for a proton
event are increasing.Solar wind total magnetic field experienced a jump
around 1:30 UT, increasing suddenly from around 10 nT to around 24 nT.
Bz
This was mostly positive after the jump but had peaks to below -8nT and there
was an extended period of -8nT yesterday late before the shock. Solar wind
speed increased from levels around 440 km/s to levels around 480 km/s with
peaks over 550 km/s.
Also density and temperature saw a slight increase.
This thus marks the earlier than expected arrival of the November 7 CME.
Total magnetic field has meanwhile decreased again to levels near 13 nT.
Geomagnetic conditions were quiet to unsettled, reaching active levels with
the shock arrival.
Fluctuating solar wind conditions may last for the remainder of the day
with possible periods of active geomagnetic conditions.
