hi everyone welcome back to my channel if you're new here my name is Stefan and today
we're going to talk about the geomagnetic storm that's happening right now and the reason why
we're having a very strong geomagnetic storm is because of this extremely large coronal
hole this is on the sun this is facing the Earth you can see here that is rotating directly into
Earth view and this is emitting a high speed stream of solar wind towards the Earth and we
saw with the recent data that this high speed stream has the magnetic characteristics needed
to geomagnetically couple with the Earth and cause strong geomagnetic volatility so this is
a Coronal hole it's emitting a high speed stream and rotated into view it arrived a little earlier
than expected according to official forecast which was the 24th it is the 23rd this is a plutonian
geomagnetic storm just because of the fact that Pluto is changing signs right now I think it is
all very coincidental so we are going to dive into the geomagnetic data because this is a very good
glimpse into how this all works and it's happening right now at this moment so you may be feeling
these energies yourselves this is the HP 30 index the 60 index and then the KP index these are
basically measures of geomagnetic volatility how much the Earth's magnetic field is warping this is
a three hour average 60 minute and then 30 minute average so finer detail here and you can see
that we had some geomagnetic activity on the 15th there was some solar wind and kind of solar flare
activity then went into this period of quiescence and now we're seeing very very strong geomagnetic
storming on Earth as a result of the glancing CME that we had around the 21st 22nd kind of raising
this is that right there and now we're seeing this high speed stream this is that glancing see me
that we had this is just a visualization of what a CME that emits further away from the earth can do
the traditional model underestimated the spread on a kernel mass ejection and then now they're
realizing hey these coronal mass ejections can actually really spread out so much so that they
can wrap around behind the Earth so we rotated into the boundary the perimeter of this kernel
mass ejection that was launched a while ago and we started to feel the effects of that on the
uh about the 21st or so you can see the increase that's the 23rd If we go out to the uh seven day
we're looking at solar wind and magnetometer data from the L1 LaGrange point this is like
235 Earth radii towards the Sun away from the Earth and you can see here
on the 21st some solar wind changes that's from that coronal mass ejection
that we rotated into you can see this represented nicely with the proton flux here protons went a
little bit up that's to be expected from a coronal mass ejection and these are very very powerful um
energies right here so these are like cosmic ray energies effectively very very high vibrational
and so we had a slight bump in the greater than 10 mega electron volts (MeV) and what we saw here was
um you know some overall an overall rise in the magnetic field the interplanetary magnetic field
that is the black line right there it went up to 11 Nano Tesla normal range is about like five or
so you see here it's six or five it goes up to 11 quite a down and then we see this high speed
stream that we rotated into let's go to the three day you can see the KP index here at the bottom
seven five six that's nine hours right there of storming temperatures going down speed remain the
same but density took a huge rise up and around 12 or so UTC is when this thing really started to
uh rise up in magnetic field strength so going all the way to 22 which classifies this as a
strong geomagnetic storm if you're over 30 Nano Tesla (nT) that's a very strong geomagnetic
storm those are more common in the 70s 60s 80s because the sun was overall much stronger and
now we're starting to see that again with solar cycle 25 returning it seems to some
of these more average solar cycle strengths which is about 175 sunspots at the maximum
then at around 1700 UTC just a few hours ago you can see it's about six hours ago we had a
you know kind of a return to about 20 on the interplanetary magnetic field but what's
important is that it went strongly South component this is the Bz Direction This is the Southward
component and when it goes negative it's able to geomagnetically connect to the Earth's magnetic
field I'll show you what that looks like right now um Let's Go full screen here is the Earth's
magnetic field this is interplanetary magnetic field line you can see as this downward arrow
on it I talked about this in my last video which was a heads up for this geomagnetic storm about
uh two days ago and here it is you see the Earth's magnetic field has this northward
component to it it's a northward facing Arrow so these two are able to connect and peel back
forming a dayside reconnection and then about an hour later they do a nighttime reconnection which
leads to Aurora here's a simplified model of this the only difference here is that
this stream uh this is like a solar flare we're seeing a high speed stream that's going to last
for a few days but you can see there it peels that magnetic field line back you can imagine
the two North and South connected and then we're getting a reconnection event here oh there it goes
same thing happens just on the nighttime side of the earth and then you get beautiful Aurora
so we are we have a Aurora prediction that we can look at here's the the forecasted Aurora
you can see how big this is for tonight tomorrow not expected to be as much so if you are anywhere
in these regions which includes a lot of um Russia like all of Canada parts of Greenland
Iceland northern Europe this might actually go further down because the storm is so strong uh
but we that remains to be seen you can look at the solar wind model here to kind of get a sense
of this velocity this high speed stream here is the high speed stream right there you can see the
velocity Peaks about 500 but it's very very wide this is not a narrow stream this is a very wide
stream we haven't even a stronger one coming up that's a co-rotating interacting region this is
also higher in plasma density so we are going to start cooling on office seams around the 25th 26th
but then maybe around the 30th 31st end of the month we're going to be hitting this CIR right
there and that's going to bring faster velocities faster plasma or greater plasma densities a whole
bunch of things what's also expected to happen around that time is a influx of electrons into
the radiation belt so you get after a high speed stream you get electron loading into the radiation
belts from different sources both from the solar wind and also things like from Jovian sources
these are very energetic electrons launched out of the magnetospheres of Jupiter Saturn the other
outer planets have these abilities to accelerate electrons to very high relativistic velocities
and energy levels Earth does too and those go in the radiation belt so we saw that electron flux
was starting to go up at these very high levels and then with the solar solar windshield stream
this high-speed stream they've gone down but we'll expect to see that rise after the stream
passes to give you a sense of that we can look at the radiation belts here this is a visualization
from 2015. these are basically clouds of very very energetic particles and they fluctuate and
change based on Solar Dynamics based on dynamics of the interplanetary magnetic field Galactic
Dynamics there's a whole bunch of things that feed into the heliosphere very energetic ions
and electrons and the Earth likes to hold on to all the planets that have magnetic fields have
radiation belts to some degree and they all kind of share electrons because solar wind pushes a lot
of these high energy electrons and other particles out of the magnetospheres and then they can go to
other planets depending on the interplanetary magnetic field Direction and whether the plants
are connected together by a co-rotating interacting region a CIR that's effectively
where High solar wind speed overtake slower plasma so it forms this like boundary the shock boundary
we can look at our proton flux for the past three days to see that's relatively flat this is not a
CME we're seeing this is a high speed stream as shown here that's really really nice and we can
look at x-ray flux to confirm that too that our flux has been basically low there hasn't been any
real solar activity one thing I do want to show is uh in my last video I talked about ar3234 which is
a sunspot I think 3260 is the same Sun Sunspot it's just been relabeled if we go to here we can
see what I mean this is February 26 uh where an ar3234 was directly Earth facing and here is uh
three what is it three two six zero the I think the evolution of that Sunspot reason why is it's
nearly the same position latitude wise so I think that CME that huge Carrington event Halo CME is
sent off on March 13th uh dramatically change the magnetic field structure I mean release an insane
amount of energy and this is the result that we're left with and honestly these look a little bit
more like a bigger issue right here of course this coronal this uh coronal hole is like right in this
zone so we don't know what's going to happen these sunspots now or in the future this guy right there
too I don't know all the numbers we could look at the synoptic map to see that so 3256 3259 those
are areas 3257 areas of you know that are kind of hitting us right now and then 3262 we'll see what
it does in the future as this is all happening we're seeing ionospheric disturbances we have
the past two days here let's um get this loaded up and we're looking at the absolute difference from
yesterday in the F2 layer of the ionosphere this is the highest layer of the ionosphere and we're
looking at the frequency change so it's normally uh it's in the megahertz range and we see a
negative three MHz a positive three frequency and so we can see here it's having some loading issues
I'm I apologize for that but things are kind of not too dramatic what we're going to see really
is on the 23rd at 1200 UTC is everything then starts to change quite dramatically
um as you can see right there so if you go back we see that things are kind of as they were looking
some regions of serious uh difference in terms of frequency but then right around 12 which right
here is let's find 12. this is about 12 right there and then 1700 is right here so those are
the two that we want to look at here's 12. we see it really change um really starts to go red solar
pressures uh which are very energetic drop the frequency of the ionosphere typically this changes
these alert currents of the Earth this Alters the Schumann resonances and then we have our
1700 UTC time right here and we'll notice that it also starts to uh get very very red across a wide
portion of the globe as you can see right there I think it even gets a little larger yeah let's
see yeah so we're right now in the middle of some very strong ionospheric uh disturbances especially
in the southern hemisphere as you can see they're really feeling it um wow I mean just look at that
it's really really wild really strong right now some interesting dramatic changes there with the
Positive increase over Rio which we've seen before so that's kind of unexplained in the Schumann
resonances we are looking at uh some notable changes nothing super super dramatic yes it
has this warning https isn't enabled for the site you see 7.8 Hertz there 14 Hertz there 20 25 or so
big amplitude Spike there today at about 1840 which is local time UTC+7 out of Tomsk Russia this
is a space observing web system out of Thompson Technical University so strong activations you can
see here 10 Hertz is active 12 Hertz and then also 20 Hertz so there's like a kind of like
a good step ladder up in terms of these different frequencies Schumann resonances if you don't know
overlap with human brainwave frequencies in terms of their frequency and their strength these are
standing waves of light that the Earth naturally resonates with so these uh we evolved in them and
it's likely our brain runs at those frequencies because of that reason so Schumann resonances are
lighting up uh with some strong power activations going to 54 there but overall we are not seeing
um the pressure of this high speed stream in the shoe my residences too much yet I would say that
is still incoming if we look at the frequency of the Schumann resonances then we see that all
everything looks pretty much fine some frequency waves showing up in four we haven't had the strong
mode for 25 Hertz activity we had in the past which is like earthquake related so um seems we're
getting a little bit of a reprieve there qualities this is the magnetic component the part that
slices through the atmosphere very easily because the electric field doesn't travel through the
atmosphere all that well air isn't that conductive but the magnetic component can propagate through
it fairly nicely and we're seeing that um we are seeing strong qualities for mode four up to 29
but that's more like the past couple days a lot of activity modes one and two quality wise up in the
uh you know below 10 and up to below 15 for mode 2 there at 14 Hertz so I wanted to give you all
an update on this I really wanted to show you this so let's zoom in on that really quick because this
is the very characteristic effect that you'll see with a geomagnetic storm so if you want to look at
this in the future this is what you're looking for that Southward component goes drops deep this is
negative 16. meanwhile the overall interplanetary magnetic field still has a high positive value so
you can actually turn on things like Y and X there to get a bigger sense of the picture but overall
this is classified as a very strong uh not very strong sorry a strong magnetic storm not just a
moderately strong this is a strong geomagnetic storm and that is happening right now and that's
what's happening on the earth so I hope that you are feeling grounded if you're not I suggest that
you do what you need to to get grounded whether that's some meditation breathing drinking some
tea you know fasting eating foods that are more grounding like root vegetables and there's a whole
bunch of things you can do a cold shower will help there's a lot lot so I hope that you found this
video useful as a geomagnetic storm like in the moment update and also you learned a couple things
right now I'm in the middle of doing a bunch of research on interplanetary magnetic field Dynamics
and particles and the radiation belts for the planet to how they share energy so some really big
um kind of breakthroughs with that in regards to how the planets share energy that becomes a
pretty plausible model for uh you know astrology so um you know this channel is all about exploring
into energy that also means exploring some of the metaphysical aspects so I'll be releasing
releasing some videos on that for those of you who are interested I try to talk more
science generally like you know hard science but there's some really interesting stuff I'm learning
that's hard science based about these radiation belts that are related to particle transport and
provides a plausible explanation for how like Jupiter can affect Earth energetically or how
Saturn or Uranus or Mercury Etc so if you'd like to see that please subscribe to my channel click

see you all in future videos if you're feeling ungrounded a bunch of resources in the video
description and if you're finding that your gut health is taking a tumble because of this
because of these strong changes to the autonomic nervous system rhythms as a result of geomagnetic
coupling then you might want to read my book on gut health The Holistic Gut Health Guide
I'll put a link to that in the video description too thank you all uh here's some videos that you
can watch there on the screen that are going to be useful for you bless you all have a great day ciao
