Solar alert




Issued on 2023 Jul 17 0922 UTC



A fast forward shock was observed in the solar wind parameters at 18:35 UTC on July 16. The solar wind velocity increased from 376 km/s to 434 km/s. The interplanetary magnetic field jumped from 7 nT to 13 nT. The solar wind speed reached a maximum of around 500km/s before then oscillating around 440 km/s. The magnetic field reached a peak value of 15 nT with a minimum negative Bz of -9nT. This resulted in minor geomagnetic storms (NOAA Kp=5). It is not clear which of the events from the past days may be responsible for this shock arrival. Further enhancements continue to be possible from further expected ICME arrivals.
