-----------------------------
And now the solar factual data for the period from the 19th to the 25th
of May, compiled by Neil Clarke, G0CAS and Martin Harrison, G3USF.
Two small sunspot groups that were visible decayed and disappeared by
the 21st. Both groups had belonged to the old cycle. Solar activity was
very low with no solar flares taking place at all. Solar flux levels
only varied between 68 and 69 units everyday. The average was 69 units.
The 90 day solar flux average remained unchanged at 71 units. X-ray flux
levels remained below the minimum reporting level throughout.
Geomagnetic activity was just unsettled due to a recurring coronal hole.
The most disturbed day was the 21st with an Ap of 13 units. The average
was Ap 9 units. The ACE spacecraft saw solar wind speeds increase from
330 kilometres per second to 630 by the 21st. Particle densities were
low throughout. Bz varied between minus 8 and plus 6 nanoTeslas.
In 1843 an amateur German astronomer named Heinrich Schwabe, using 17
years of his personal sunspot observations, discovered the rise and fall
of yearly sunspot numbers which we now call the sunspot cycle.
The duration of the sunspot cycle is, on average, around 11 years.
However, the length of the cycle does vary. Between 1700 and the
present, the sunspot cycle from one solar minimum to the next solar
minimum
has varied in length from as short as 9 years to as long as 14 years.
However, that of the 23 solar cycles during a three-century span, 21 had
a length of between 10 and 12 years. The method for counting sunspot
numbers over a long period of time is the monthly smoothed sunspot
number. This is calculated over a 13 month period. The monthly smoothed
sunspot number as gradually declined from a sunspot maximum high
of 120.8 in April 2000. Interestingly, the figures for August, September
and October 2007, which are the latest available, were 6.1, 5.9 and 6.1
respectively. Therefore, was September 2007 sunspot minimum. The
best way to find out is to continue listening to GB2RS-stay tuned-and
hopefully we will be one of the first to let you know.
And finally the solar forecast. This week the quiet side of the Sun is
expected to be looking our way. Solar activity should be very low
throughout. Solar flux levels are expected to be around the 70 mark most
days.
Today and tomorrow the geomagnetic field could be unsettled due to a
small recurring coronal hole. However, for the rest of the week activity
should decline to quiet levels. MUFs during daylight hours at equal
latitudes should be around 18MHz for the south and 15MHz for the north.
The darkness hour lows are expected to be about 9MHz. Paths this week
to the Middle East should have a maximum usable frequency with a 50 per
cent success rate of around 21MHz. The optimum working frequency with a
90 per cent success rate should be about 18MHz. The best time to try
this path will be between 0800 and 1800 hours UTC. It is also possible
that this path could be open via double-hop Sporadic-E on 28 and 50MHz
during any
intense openings. Sporadic-E is expected to take place on most days with
openings up to 144MHz taking place occasionally.
And that’s all for this week from the propagation team.
