Big Back-to-Back Storms Head To Earth | Solar Storm Forecast 22 January 2024

This Space Weather News forecast sponsored in part by Millersville University:
www.millersville.edu/swen
We have four, back-to-back solar storms on their way to Earth. The first is expected to hit Monday the 22nd (although I suspect it will arrive fashionably late). The second will be right on its heels and enhance the first. These first two storms will be the ones that drive aurora down to mid-latitudes if the magnetic field orientation proves favorable. The third and fourth storms will be glancing blows, but they could extend aurora possibilities, possibly through the 25th, especially at high latitudes, before things calm down. Aurora photographers, G2-level storm conditions are entirely possible with this series, so be sure to get ready. Amateur radio operators and GPS users, however, you will need to hunker down as the solar storms will make nightside signal reception a bit unpredictable. Also, solar flare and radiation storm activity is ramping up so aviators you will also need to get ready for radio blackouts to increase once again on the dayside and near the polar regions. On top of that, we also have some big-flare players from the Sun's farside that will be rotating back into Earth view over the next several days, which will up the risk for radio blackouts and radiation storms even more. Learn the details of the coming solar storms, see why flare risk is rising, and see what else our Sun has in store.

[@nousernamejoshua1556]

There's a lot going on which affect neurology. There's microburst in the Van Allen Belt which emit x, uv, ir. The photons are released when theres magnetic reconnection of the magnetospheric field lines which the Earth's is disrupted when Interplanetary field lines, the sun's, are disrupted. The Earth's field lines do the same. It creates a sub storm through heat convection to the Ionosphere creating Aurora, North and South. The microbursts are to low of energy to return out of the plasma field and like RF are redirected down to earth. X-rays don't stop for anything much through our atmosphere and do not scatter or absorb through the different general barriers. Xray photons do interact with a magnetic field and therefore are absorbed in tissue and bone. She has a right to be nervous as the nervous system has been altered in several ways through all the RF bands and nuclear detonation which impacted the ionosphere. There is a natural earth process for atmospheric solar protection. Those gasses are altered before reaching the upoer atmosphere culminating loss and increases our heat death. Bone is highly sensitive with it's own neurology and responsible for listening and reacting to cellular vibration.

[@nousernamejoshua1556]

How many neurological diseases are there today? Most likely because of ionic cellular structure. The cell can't interact accordingly while being in a high energy state. The Earth's resonance frequency is 7.83hz. Everyone knows when the power goes off. 60hz is a big difference. And cesium atomic clocks with a quartz oscillator is like 9 billion cycles per second. Science has gone mad with radiation like ancient Rome went mad with lead. Addicted to the high energy field. Do Sundogs reflect through our atmosphere a solar flare halo or part halo?

I’m seeing this forecast on the 22nd of January , and the weather was pretty much clear ,and getting cloudier . But the earth bound weather for where live is expecting rain for wensday Thursday and Friday this week . But what doctor is emphasizing is the electromagnetic storms impacting communications systems . The earth bound weather’s effects are just as important because of the thunder and lightning . It’s like getting clobbered by a feather duster . Nothing to worry about . But be aware that it’s happening .

Minute 6:38; it's the first time that I've seen that modeling, nice, it really helps to orient one. To tell the truth, I'm kinda hopin' for a whoppin' Carrington Event, ya know, one of those circuit melters. I mean, what if we woke up tomorrow and no one could drop bombs, of course, they also couldn't get their money out of the bank.......okay, there's bugs to be worked out, but what the hell?

Thanks for asking. I am also wondering, as to possible physical impacts to human beings.

[@ladykatza]

I had an interesting discussion with some friends that write science fiction and one of them brought up that there's a positive correlation between increased solar activity and an increase of earthquakes, particularly strong ones. Have you seen this study?

[@TamithaSkov]

I have seen lots of reports both for and against earthquakes being linked to space weather. Sadly, as it stands now, this subject will remain a "fringe science" topic for years into the future because we cannot make quantitative assessments of the primary drivers of earthquakes yet. Geophysicists need to get a better understanding of the geological drivers first so that we can subtract off that component to reveal the smaller contributions from things like space weather. Until then, it is nearly impossible for mainstream scientists to get any funding to study the effect space weather has on the frequency or intensity of earthquakes. But that is just one reason why fringe and mainstream science need each other!

After seeing that cme I'm guessing the spraying isn't very effective anymore at mitigating the effects from the cme the weather gives it away.

[@robertfitch310]

“They” have never revealed what the spraying is for, cme’s doubt it, “they” don’t care if most of us die off. There has been cloud seeding for many decades, but as I’ve never seen the blue sky turn light brown like SoCal smog. Weakening magnetosphere and cme’s seem to be taking its toll on us.

[@TamithaSkov]

STEREO has now orbited to the same side as Earth so it sees what we see. it will be another few years before its orbit takes it to the Sun's far side again. As for the dark spots, those arent coronal holes, those are active regions on the far side-- this is how helioseismology "sees" them, as dark regions.

[@amybowen5800]

It rotates

[@_Breakdown]

@@amybowen5800 thanks. 🙂👍🏼 much appreciated! By any chance do you know the Sun’s 🌞 rate of rotation (as in the Earth 🌎 has a 24-hour rotation) ?

[@TamithaSkov]

Q1: Yes, essentially, the Sun rotates once every 24 days in an inertial reference frame, but from Earth's perspective, it rotates once every 27 days. Q2: Yes, STEREO-B is dead. STEREO-A is the only one left of the "stereo" pair. Q3: If you are referring to the NASA prediction model, yes. These are all space assets NASA has the responsibility of protecting from space weather as best it can. Hope this helps!
