Solar Active Regions and flaring

Solar flaring activity reached high levels over the past 24 hours. The strongest activity was an X3.3 flare, start time 12:53 UTC, end time 13:31 UTC, peak time 13:14 UTC on Feb 9th, produced by NOAA AR 3575 from behind the south-west limb. Multiple low M-class flares were produced by NOAA AR 3576 (beta-gamma-delta) and an M3.4 flare with peak time 03:54 UTC on Feb 10th was produced by a region on the east limb. Two new un-numbered regions have developed on disc in the north- eastern quadrant and another new region has rotated onto disc from the east limb. NOAA AR 3576 remains the largest, most complex and most active region on the visible solar disc at present. The remaining regions have been either stable and inactive or shown some decay. The solar flaring activity is expected to be at moderate levels over the next days with likely further M-class flaring.

Eyección de masa coronal

The filament eruption, which produced a medium intensity coronal dimming visible in the SDO/AIA images around 21:00 UTC on Feb 8th is now associated with a narrow south-ward coronal mass ejection (CME). This narrow CME is expected to be off the Sun-Earth line, though a minor glancing blow is possible on Feb 12th. An almost full halo coronal mass ejection (CME) was observed in the LASCO/C2 coronagraph imagery around 13:25 UTC on Feb 9th. The eruption is related to the X3.3 flaring from NOAA AR 3575 from behind the south-west limb. A related type IV radio burst, fast shock and strong and fast coronal wave have accompanied the event. The CME is back-sided with no significant impact on Earth expected (expect for the ongoing radiation storm and possible GLE). A possible shock arrival cannot be fully excluded. Another strong and fast almost full halo CME was first detected in the LASCO/C2 coronagraph imagery around 04:24 UTC on Feb 10th. A coronal wave and dimming related to this event are visible in the SDO/AIA data. This eruption was related to an activity behind at the east limb. Based on the source location currently no impact on Earth is expected. Another coronal dimming is detected in the AIA images starting around 7:40 UTC on Feb 10th. We are awaiting for the coronagraph data to arrive to estimate possible impacts on Earth. No other Earth-directed CMEs have been detected in the available coronagraph imagery over the past 24 hours.

Viento solar

Over the past 24 hours the solar wind parameters (ACE and DSCOVR) have registered a mild ICME arrival, possibly the expected glancing blow from the Feb 6th CME. A weak shock was detected around 21:47 UTC on Feb 9th with a slight density decrease, and a jump in the temperature from about 2.4e4 K to 3.6e5 K. The total magnetic field mildly increased from 7 nT to 9.3 nT and the solar wind speed jumped from 395 km/s to 503 km/s. The solar wind velocity after steadily declined to below 400 km/s at present. The solar wind conditions are expected to be at weakly perturbed to nominal levels on Feb 10th and Feb 11th. Further enhancements in the solar wind parameters from another glancing blow arrival related to the Feb 8th filament eruption might be expected on Feb 12th.

Geomagnetism

The geomagnetic conditions over the past 24 hours were quiet to unsettled. Mostly quiet to unsettled geomagnetic conditions are expected to prevail on Feb 10th and Feb 11th. Quiet to active conditions are expected for Feb 12th with the possible arrival of another glancing blow ICME.

Proton flux levels

Over the past 24 hours the greater than 10 MeV GOES proton flux exceeded moderate radiation storm levels (100 pfu). The greater than 10 MeV GOES proton flux is expected to remain so on Feb 10th and possible still be at minor storm levels on Feb 11th. Further enhancements are possible given the eruptive activity in the east limb and any strong flaring from NOAA AR 3576.

Electron fluxes at geostationary orbit

The greater than 2 MeV GOES 16 electron flux was below the 1000 pfu threshold and is expected to remain so in the upcoming days.The 24h electron fluence was at nominal level and is expected to remain so in the next days.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 161, based on 07 stations.
