He seems to have created it as a parody of a TSI reconstruction. Instead, he argues that the scientific community should stick to using the SATIRE reconstructions of the MPS group or reconstructions that are similar, e.g., the NRL TSI reconstructions developed by Dr. Judith Lean at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) and colleagues, e.g.,…
San Diego CA (SPX) Feb 01, 2024 - Solar flares occur when magnetic energy builds up in the Sun's atmosphere and is released as electromagnetic radiation. Lasting anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, flares usually reach tempe
<p>Although solar flares have been classified based on the amount of energy they emit at their peak, there has not been significant study into differentiating flares since slow-building flares were first discovered in the 1980s. In a new paper in <a href="https://doi.org/10.1007/s11207-023-02244-0"><em>Solar Physics</em></a>, a team, led by UC San Diego astrophysics graduate student Aravind Bharathi Valluvan, has shown that there is a significant amount of slower-type flares worthy of further investigation.</p>
A coronal mass ejection will trigger a geomagnetic storm, which can impact technology and cause the Northern Lights to be seen further south.
