Magnetosphere Update - Tuesday SEPTEMBER 4, 2012 AT 6:45 PM CT

High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP)
The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is an ionospheric research program jointly funded by the US Air Force, the US Navy, the University of Alaska and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
Geomagnetic storminess is usually indicated in oscillatory variations in the earth's magnetic field. Additional detail concerning the nature and severity of the ionospheric disturbance can be found through analysis of the three components of the field. Data from a chain of magnetometers are also available.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetosphere
A magnetosphere is formed when a stream of charged particles, such as the solar wind, interacts with and is deflected by the intrinsic magnetic field of a planet or similar body. Earth is surrounded by a magnetosphere, as are the other planets with intrinsic magnetic fields: Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn…

The Kiruna magnetogram provides realtime data of the local Earth magnetic field at ground level. Strong deviations in the data, primarily the black line could signal the development of geomagnetic activity. The curves on this plot show deflections from an average. The average is derived from the monthly means of the five most quiet days.

Dutchsinse | 9/1/2012 -- Solar Filament rupture -- close up -- from Helioviewer



http://thewatchers.adorraeli.com/2012/09/01/spectacular-filament-eruption-wav...
see the projected path of the blast:http://iswa.gsfc.nasa.gov:8080/IswaSystemWebApp/iSWACygnetStreamer?timestamp=...
A large solar filament has ruptured.. sending a blast of charged particles from layers above the suns surface in an "earth facing" direction.
UPDATE -- listed as a Class C .. confirmed "glacing blow" .. which basically just means possible earth interaction.. nothing major, but still a very impressive shot of the event...as we know .. even X class events can go by with no activity at all.
Of course, the possibility always exists of power grid disruption, communications interruptions, possible out of the ordinary auroras in more central latitudes... also watch for post arrival earthquake, and storm activity.
Monitor the ionospheric maps to see the ion flux as it arrives --- this sometimes shows the hard hit areas which tend to display earthquake / storm excitement upon arrival of charged particles.
