Hi all,
For the second time in fairly quick succession another Kp5 (G1) solar storm is blowing through our region of space, sparking aurora at mid to high latitudes and twitching magnetometers around the globe. As with the recent one, this storm originated from fast flowing solar wind; charged particles, mainly of protons and electrons, spewing from a large Earth facing coronal hole. The effect on Earth's protective magnetic bubble are clear to see as the magnetometer response fluctuates in the chart with every passing pulse.
Thanks for looking.
Stu.

Looking really good Stuart
Just compared my trace and they match almost perfectly - what a fantastic design - thank you
Sitting here with the rain pouring down and still getting great data from the sun ................... other people really should have a go at your 'Magnetometer Project' Stuart

Great addition with your trace Mike! Glad it is performing as expected.
I would love to do this project, alas, logistically the cabling means this is not feasible for me, shame else I would be well onboard with it...

We need to create a mod link for you to patch into Jodrell Bank Alexandra, then we could have some fun

Cheers guys.
Features on Spaceweather.com too , but here first!
Glad yours is still working well, Mike. Excellent correlation.
Unfortunate, Mark/Alexandra, that you cannot make one for yourselves
