A giant coronal holes, which measures about 800,000 kilometers, have emerged on the surface of the sun. High-speed solar air is being emitted from the region and is expected to reach the Earth by 31 January. Space meteorologists indicate that this phenomenon has the ability to cause a condition of a slight geomagnetic storm, which may increase the aerral display in high latitude areas. The particles charged by the opening of the magnetic field of the Sun in this region allowed to escape in space at a speed of more than 500 kilometers per second.
Solar wind and geomagnetic storm predictions
As Informed By Space.com, according to dataweather.com data, the coronal hole is expected to affect the Earth’s magnetosphere, with a minor (G1) geomagnetic stor at the national ocean and atmospheric administration (NOAA) with the geomagnetic storms watch. The classification system used by NOAA ranks geomagnetic storms from G1 (minor) to G5 (peak). While the expected storm is at the lower end of the scale, increased virora activity can be seen in areas close to the poles.
Effect on Arora Visibility
The particles charged with solar air interact with the Earth’s magnetic field, exciting oxygen and nitrogen molecules in the atmosphere. This reaction produces vibrant andorus, which is usually seen as northern and southern lights. These particles can have more intense and widespread and multi activity than a strong influx. While the G1 storms usually have a limited effect, the vengeance of the space can vary from the ups and downs.
Uncertainty in the forecast of space season
Although geomagnetic disturbances have been predicted, the space weather is difficult to predict with full certainty. Some geomagnetic storm watches have a minimum effect as a result, while others produce unexpected increase in and activity.
