- MIDDLE LATITUDE AURORAL ACTIVITY WATCH
-
- ISSUED: 00:00 UT, 26 JANUARY
-
- /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
-
- VALID UNTIL: 19:00 UTC ON 27 JANUARY
-
- MODERATE RISK PERIOD: 26 - 28 JANUARY (UT days)
-
- PREDICTED ACTIVITY INDICES FOR NEXT 3 DAYS: 25, 20, 15
- (INPUT INTO THE PREDICTIVE AURORA SOFTWARE *)
-
- POTENTIAL MAGNITUDE OF MIDDLE LATITUDE AURORAL ACTIVITY: LOW TO MODERATE
-
- EXPECTED LUNAR INTERFERENCE: LOW
-
- OVERALL OPPORTUNITY FOR OBSERVATIONS FROM MIDDLE LATITUDES: FAIR
-
- AURORAL ACTIVITY MAY BE OBSERVED APPROXIMATELY NORTH OF A LINE FROM...
-
- PRIMARILY EXTREME SOUTHERN CANADA NORTHWARD. A FEW NORTHERN U.S.
- LOCATIONS MAY ALSO SPOT SOME ACTIVITY UNDER DARK SKIES OVER THE
- CENTRAL TO EASTERN U.S..
-
- ACTIVITY MAY ALSO BE OBSERVED APPROXIMATELY NORTH OF A LINE FROM...
-
- NORTHERN U.K. TO THE NETHERLANDS. THIS IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE A
- PARTICULARLY GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR AREAS OF SOUTHERN AUSTRALIAN AND
- NEW ZEALAND.
-
- * Contact: Oler@Rho.Uleth.CA or COler@Solar.Stanford.Edu for more information
- regarding the Auroral Activity Prediction and Simulation Software.
-
-
- SYNOPSIS...
-
- A fair to good opportunity for observing auroral activity will exist
- over the next 24 to 48 hours. A well-placed solar coronal hole is
- expected to generate the activity. The brunt of activity should occur
- on 26 January, but is not expected to be very strong. Most of the
- observed auroral activity should be confined to areas north of the U.S./
- Canada border. Users of our auroral activity prediction and simulation
- software should input values of between 20 and 30 (the target activity
- level for 26 January is 25, dropping to 20 and 15 for 27 and 28 Jan.)
- for the best contoured maps of predicted auroral visibility. For more
- information, contact: Oler@Rho.Uleth.CA, or: COler@Solar.Stanford.Edu.
-
- This WATCH will remain active until 19:00 UT on 27 January when it
- will either be updated or allowed to expire.
