Solarflaretracker200 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 (edited) Is never clear here in April. So the fact it was clear last night was rare Edited April 11, 2022 by Solarflaretracker200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedreamon Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I'm not sure if I'm interpreting this stuff correctly, so bear with me. So was that G3 just some sort of hiccup or something? I'm kinda one of those people that think "if this caused a G3-level storm, imagine what'd happen with a stronger CME", so I'm trying to figure out what may have caused this to occur.

It can’t really be correlated like that, it’s too unpredictable. We could get what we thought was a “real CME”, and it turns out to be a dud, G1 or less. We’re not sure why this one was so unexpectedly strong, but it definitely doesn’t mean everything from here on out will be stronger than predicted. Also, I don’t get why it was officially a G3, it seemed much more like a G2 at most. It wasn’t as severe as one thinks from the number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the real-time Kp index is an average of individual K indexes from multiple reporting stations, it would be useful to review the individual station K indexes to see which, if any in particular, were driving the Kp index average to Kp7.
