Guest Keith Woodard Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Good Day, There was a signficant drop in CGRs (Cosmic Galactic Radation) first observed on May 4th and is continuing on through today, by about 6 percent. The question is why? I have not observed any X-rays or CMEs reported on this website since April 25th. However, our magnetosphere appears highly charged. http://neutronm.bartol.udel.edu/realtime/thule.html Cheers,KWITS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel de Bont Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Hey, we do not manually report every single CME or coronal hole stream on the site. That would be too much work. Only flares and CMEs that are interesting enough we report. We have automated alerts in place for everything else. There was a weak CME passage 2 days ago if I recall correctly and we are perhaps seeing some weak coronal hole effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Keith Woodard Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Thank you for your reply but please keep in mind, solar weather has and does impact earth's weather patterns. A long-term pattern of reduced sunspot activity and sunspots that don't produce expected CME's will over time cause a signficant to change in climate. It has happened before and may be happening now. To accomplish trend analysis, you have to baseline and observe statistical deviations against the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel de Bont Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 As far as I am aware I have never made a statement on any of the things that you mention in my previous post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does impact it indeed but in what prices way is still unknown and there are a lot of studies going on to know the real facts. A recent study did find some very notable things about solar wind and it's relation to thunderstorms and also talks a bit about the cosmic background rays.
