either it has not happened yet or it has already calmed down because QRZ.com shows everything as normal

Checking my image recordings the only thing I see as an ejection around 12 hours ago, so it would have to be a really fast burst to arrive today? Current Kp index is only at 2.3 which is pretty normal, and even NOAA's own forecast shows nothing happening. I'd say this event is a dud.

Yep, thats prob the case

authentic question: can you explain your logic?

[–] shortwavesurfer 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm not quite sure what you are asking for. So, I would need more information to be able to answer properly.

I don't know what QRZ.com is, so I don't understand how the site being up lead to your conclusion. I'm not criticizing in anyway, but moreso just trying to understand because it sounds interesting to me. While I don't know the math, I love theoretical physics, and am wondering what I'm missing out on 🙂

Oh, qrz is a website for amateur radio operators and it has data from another site that has solar information I pulled up QRZ to take a look at that solar information at a glance. And the geomagnetic field was quiet with an S1 to S2 radio noise level, which is extremely low.
