[IRCA] S3 Radiation Storm In Progress



S 3

Strong

Biological: radiation hazard avoidance recommended for astronauts on EVA; passengers and crew in high-flying aircraft at high latitudes may be exposed to radiation risk.***

Satellite operations: single-event upsets, noise in imaging systems, and slight reduction of efficiency in solar panel are likely.

Other systems: degraded HF radio propagation through the polar regions and navigation position errors likely.

103

10 per cycle

 
The excessive energetic protons currently entering our magnetic field through the poles has reached 1040 pfu or 10+3. This means that if you are traveling in a high flying aircraft or live north of the Arctic/Antarctic circle you are receiving radiation at ground level that is harmful to your health.
 
Also the Kp has reached a 5 which is minor geomagnetic storming. What makes this noteworthy though is that it has occurred due to CME's emanating from all of the X and M class solar flares that are not even aimed at Earth!!! Soon sunspot group number 10798 will become geoeffective (Earth facing) and we will probably see severe geomagnetic storming (Kp-9) and visible aurora as far south at 28 deg. latitude in the near future.
