Just had our live stream on my YouTube channel (NW7US) - check it out. You can fast forward past the "Stand By" period at the beginning. This is my first Space Weather and Radio Propagation livestream. Feedback is welcomed!

Space WX, Radio Propagation Live Stream - 18 August 2024

Join us for an informal live stream chat session about current space weather -- the Sun/Earth connection -- including sunspot activity, sola

This will occur every Sunday at about the same time - 21:15 UTC.

Aurora borealis dynamics suggest the polar vortex is breaking up again

The Space Climate Research Group at the University of Oulu, Finland has been studying the effects of energetic particle precipitation from space, more commonly known as the aurora borealis or Northern Lights, on winter weather variations for quite some time. The aurora borealis is not only a beautiful light phenomenon, but also involves chemical changes that lead to ozone depletion high in the polar stratosphere in winter.

The Space Climate Research Group at the University of Oulu, Finland has been studying the effects of energetic particle precipitation from space, more commonly known as the aurora borealis or Northern Lights, on winter weather variations for quite some time. The aurora borealis is not only a beautiful light phenomenon, but also involves chemical changes that lead to ozone depletion high in the polar stratosphere in winter.

Ozone depletion caused by energetic particles intensifies the polar vortex, a strong wind that blows from west to east around the polar region during the winter season. Intensified polar vortex also enhances westerly winds at the surface, producing mild winters in northern Europe and Finland in particular.

"On the other hand, during winters with weak particle precipitation, the polar vortex can weaken and even break down completely, allowing cold Arctic air to flow south. This is when Finland and Northern Europe typically experience cold spells, like this winter," says Associate Professor Timo Asikainen.

"The polar vortex has already broken once this winter and is forecasted to break again this coming weekend. Our own models predicted the likely break-up of the polar vortex during the winter already last summer."

Experience shows that, especially in Finland, the consumption of electricity and, more generally, of energy used for heating, is very much dependent on weather. This raises the question: How much can the particle precipitation from space affect electricity consumption via the polar vortex? A recent study by the University of Oulu's Space Climate Group was the first to address this very question.  ...

It’s comin’...

Go to  spaceweather.com and watch the movie...the ENTIRE SURFACE of the sun RIPPLES from the force of this.

IT will probably hit earth, possibly MONDAY.
