On March 20th, when the Moon passed in front of the sun over the Arctic Ocean, a few observers extended the experience-in an airplane. The Moon's shadow races across the landscape at thousands of kilometers per hour, enveloping sky watchers for a matter of minutes at most. Tony Phillips for details.ĬHASING MOON SHADOWS: Total eclipses of the sun are achingly brief.

After a few more flights, the team will share the full data set with the public. By sampling the response of the stratosphere to the great storm-both the initial impact and the rebound-they hope to unravel the puzzle. So far, the student team has launched balloons with radiation sensors on March 13th, March 17th, March 21st, and March 24th and more launches in the offing. This particular buoy was launched on March 17th during the peak of the geomagnetic storm: At least that is what the Space Weather Buoys are telling us. Instead of dropping, radiation in the stratosphere ticked upward. On both occasions, radiation levels in the stratosphere dropped in sync with neutron counts on the ground. The Earth to Sky space weather ballooning program has measured two previous Forbush Decreases, on Sept 13th and Dec 21st, 2014. This drop is called a "Forbush Decrease." It happens because the CME sweeps aside cosmic rays that normally surround Earth, causing radiation levels to drop.
Here is an example from the monitoring station in Oulu, Finland: Shortly after the CME hit, ground-based neutron monitors measured a drop in cosmic rays. On March 17th, a CME hit Earth's magnetic field, sparking the strongest geomagnetic storm of the current solar cycle. The missions aim to solve a minor mystery in the stratosphere. WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE STRATOSPHERE? Lately, and the students of Earth to Sky Calculus have been launching a lot of Space Weather Bouys. AR2305 is facing Earth, so any eruptions on March 26th would surely be geoeffective. The growing active region has developed a 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field that harbors energy for X-class solar flares.
