CME Influence Continues

CME Influence Continues
published: Sunday, September 14, 2014 02:12 UTC

G3 (Strong) geomagnetic storming was observed as a result of the arrival and influence of the second of the two expected coronal mass ejections (CMEs).  Earth remains under the influence of this CME and will continue to for the near term.  Although the magnetic field orientation overnight was not favorable for continued strong storming (Bz all northward in a technical sense, and shown here in this 24-hour ACE plot as the red line in the top panel above the dashed line), rotation of that field and continued storming is still possible throughout the passage of this CME.  Stay tuned for updates.
