Vancanneyt Sander Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Since 1996 we have had 4 days with background flux >=M1 November 9th 2000 M1.1 November 23rd 2001 M1.5 December 29th 2001 M1.6 April 3rd 2001 M2.0 check the dates in the archive ☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel de Bont Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 You can see the officially reported background flux from NOAA for a specific day in these graphs in our archive. https://www.spaceweatherlive.com/en/archive/2003/10.html Never really bothered checking how accurate it is but there is a lot of exploring for you to do if you wish to find out! C4.9 on 22 October, 2003 for example. 1 minuut geleden, Vancanneyt Sander zei: Since 1996 we have had 4 days with background flux >=M1 November 9th 2000 M1.1 November 23rd 2001 M1.5 December 29th 2001 M1.6 April 3rd 2001 M2.0 check the dates in the archive ☺️ Jeez, you just had to cheat by looking in the database didn't you... Not sure how NOAA calculates this but this is an impressive graph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it ain’t easy to make as there isn’t a real API at SWPC that just gives you what you need. It requires coding, testing and patience 😇 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve build our archive way before those files. Now they are in a more readable format but still we have to do some extra work to make them really usable here.

hamateur 1953 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 If you are intrigued by solar flux and sunspots and love data, solen.com I believe has datasets that might occupy HAL 2000 while Dave was busy disabling his nemesis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lowest stable flux if you can call it like that is somewhere in the C3 range if you ask me. It is just the X flare and massive amount of C and M class flaring that warped things. Do they take an average? https://www.spaceweatherlive.com/en/archive/2001/04/03/xray.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The M-class event you mention is of course of interest but doesn't belong home in this topic. Just trying to keep things organized.
