The General Administration of Oceanic and Air Country in the United States of America launched a warning from the G4 G4 storm issued from a strong coride emission of May 30 last.
It is expected that it will arrive on Earth today, Sunday, June 1, and the levels of the geomic storm are likely to begin to decline by the third Tuesday of June.
What does the meaning of the geomagnetic storm be severe?
The geomagnetic storm, also known as the magnetic storm, is classified as a “G4” category as severe on the scale of the National Administration of Oceanic and Atmospheric, which ranges from “G1” (minor) to “G5” (very severe).
The coronary mass emission is a massive solar explosion that releases particles without offspring high -energy offspring from the sun, and its effect reaches the Earth at times.
The speed of these emissions can range from less than 250 km per second to approximately 3 thousand kilometers per second, and these emissions may carry plasma (charged hot particles) weighing billions of tons.
And when the coronary mass emissions tend to the Earth, it can lead to gymnastic storms, that is, disturbances in the Earth’s magnetic field, which leads to the vision of the northern or southern lights (polar twilight), which results from the interaction of the particles charged with the magnetic cover of the Earth, so astronomical imaging enthusiasts usually wait for such events, to take pictures of the polar twilight.
What is its effect on the ground?
This type of events can affect several basic ranges that these early warnings are directed to:
- Aviation sector: where there are possible disturbances in communications and navigation systems.
- Satellite: an increase in satellite withdrawal, the disturbance of their path, and the possibility of guidance problems.
- Electricity networks: irregular voltage and the risk of transformer damage, which may cause electricity interruption at times.
In this context, the authorities responsible for these ranges are controlling, and follow other side plans in the event of disturbances, and therefore there are no stops in the usual workfall.
It is worth noting that geomagnetic storms do not change the features of daily weather, such as temperatures or precipitation, and do not constitute a direct threat to human health, which are completely natural incidents that are repeated from time to time.
The sun cycle and its effect
The solar activity course is known as a period that is repeated almost every 11 years, during which the levels of solar activity change from its lowest to its maximum, and currently we are going through a maximum period of activity in the 25 solar cycle, which started in December 2019.
During the maximum solar activity, the number of solar spots and magnetic activity increases, which leads to an increase in coronary ligamentary emissions and solar glow, and this is repeated almost every 11 years, and then the Earth is expected to be hit with such storms during the current year.
On May 10, 2024, the Earth witnessed the most powerful Gym Gemond Storm for more than 20 years, known as the “Ganon Storm”, and this storm is among the best documentation in history, and NASA presented new visions of the effects of the sun on Earth and technology.
During the storm, the polar twilight lights were seen in southern regions, indicating the storm’s strength and wide impact, and caused unprecedented changes in the ionosphere, including a temporary gap near the equator, which affected communications and navigation at the time.
The storm also led to an increase in satellite clouds, which affected its orbits, and the electricity networks and navigation systems were influenced, and NASA monitored temporary radioactive belts between Van Allen belts, and it is believed that this poses a threat to satellites and astronauts, but all of this came without influence on the weather or human health on Earth.
