G1-G2 (Minor-Moderate) Watch for 14-15 March 2022

G1-G2 (Minor-Moderate) Watch for 14-15 March 2022
published: Tuesday, March 15, 2022 12:28 UTC

A G2 (Moderate) geomagnetic storm watch has been issued for 14 March (UTC day) and a G1 (Minor) watch is out for 15 March due to possible effects from the arrival of a series of coronal mass ejections from 10 March. The real time solar wind plot (https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/real-time-solar-wind) is an excellent resource to observe the CME as it flows past the ACE or DSCOVR satellites located at the L1 lagrange point between the Sun and the Earth.
