Description:
SpaceWeatherNews on a mostly calm sun, with a departing flare-active group and new sunspots on the incoming southern limb. A CME due on October 9 left no clear shock in the solar wind, geomagnetic conditions stayed quiet, and the show expects at least one more impact, plus a coronal-hole stream early next week.
That coronal hole was the earthquake watch called on the October 8 show. A magnitude 7.7 struck Panama on October 9, with initial tsunami concerns, and the show says there were no casualties. Linked papers cover solar forcing of Pacific precipitation and northwest Pacific cyclones, and a lab study in which seeds germinated poorly when the geomagnetic field was removed.
