3 Space Weather ALERTS For Jan. 13, 2015 This will knock out power to some on the sun lite side of earth watch for major quakes and volcanoes to blow. 1 Space Weather Message Code: SUMXM5 Serial Number: 133 Issue Time: 2015 Jan 13 0444 UTC SUMMARY: X-ray Event exceeded M5 Begin Time: 2015 Jan 13 0413 UTC Maximum Time: 2015 Jan 13 0424 UTC End Time: 2015 Jan 13 0438 UTC X-ray Class: M5.6 Optical Class: 2b Location: N06W70 NOAA Scale: R2 - Moderate NOAA Space Weather Scale descriptions can be found at swpc.noaa.gov/noaa-scales-explanation Potential Impacts: Area of impact centered primarily on sub-solar point on the sunlit side of Earth. Radio - Limited blackout of HF (high frequency) radio communication for tens of minutes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 Space Weather Message Code: SUM10R Serial Number: 653 Issue Time: 2015 Jan 13 0442 UTC SUMMARY: 10cm Radio Burst Begin Time: 2015 Jan 13 0419 UTC Maximum Time: 2015 Jan 13 0421 UTC End Time: 2015 Jan 13 0423 UTC Duration: 4 minutes Peak Flux: 290 sfu Latest Penticton Noon Flux: 159 sfu NOAA Space Weather Scale descriptions can be found at swpc.noaa.gov/noaa-scales-explanation Description: A 10cm radio burst indicates that the electromagnetic burst associated with a solar flare at the 10cm wavelength was double or greater than the initial 10cm radio background. This can be indicative of significant radio noise in association with a solar flare. This noise is generally short-lived but can cause interference for sensitive receivers including radar, GPS, and satellite communications. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 Space Weather Message Code: ALTXMF Serial Number: 248 Issue Time: 2015 Jan 13 0425 UTC ALERT: X-Ray Flux exceeded M5 Threshold Reached: 2015 Jan 13 0423 UTC NOAA Scale: R2 - Moderate NOAA Space Weather Scale descriptions can be found at swpc.noaa.gov/noaa-scales-explanation Potential Impacts: Area of impact centered on sub-solar point on the sunlit side of Earth. Extent of blackout of HF (high frequency) radio communication dependent upon current X-ray Flux intensity. For real-time information on affected area and expected duration please see swpc.noaa.gov/products/d-region-absorption-predictions-d-rap.
