Severe geomagnetic storming observed as CME from X9.3 flare impacts Earth
A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) produced by the X9.3 solar flare on September 6, 2017, reached our planet at 23:04 UTC on September 7, 2017, a full day earlier than it was expected. G3 – Strong geomagnetic storming started 23:25 and increased to G4 – Severe at 23:50 UTC. Over the past 24 hours, solar wind parameters, as measured by the DSCOVR satellite indicated continued influence from the
September 4th CME followed by a CME arrival from the September 6th CME at 22:29 UTC. The shock then increased to a peak of 34 nT observed at 22:55 UTC. Bz reached a maximum southward value of -33 nT at 22:57. Solar wind speeds were between 500 – 600 km/s before shock arrival and increased to 623 km/s, further increasing to a peak speed of 751 km/s by 22:45 UTC.

A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) produced by the X9.3 solar flare on September 6, 2017, reached our planet at 23:04 UTC on September 7, 2017, a full day earlier than it was expected. G3 - Strong geomagnetic storming started 23:25 and increased to G4 - Severe at 23:50 UTC.
Over the past 24 hours, solar wind parameters, as measured by the DSCOVR satellite indicated continued influence from the September 4th CME followed by a CME arrival from the September 6th CME at 22:29 UTC. The shock then increased to a peak of 34 nT observed at 22:55 UTC. Bz reached a maximum southward value of -33 nT at 22:57. Solar wind speeds were between 500 - 600 km/s before shock arrival and increased to 623 km/s, further increasing to a peak speed of 751 km/s by 22:45 UTC.
The solar wind environment is expected to remain enhanced for the next two days due to anticipated effects from the September 4th CME and September 6th. CME enhancements are expected to subside by September 10, with possible weak positive polarity influence by late in the day.
Geomagnetic K-index of 7 (G3 - Strong geomagnetic storm) threshold was reached just 21 minutes after the CME arrival, at 23:25 UTC. Under G3 conditions, power system voltage irregularities are possible, false alarms may be triggered on some protection devices. Spacecraft systems may experience surface charging, increased drag on low Earth-orbit satellites and orientation problems may occur. Intermittent satellite navigation (GPS) problems, including loss-of-lock and increased range error may occur. HF (high frequency) radio may be intermittent and aurora seen as low as Pennsylvania to Iowa to Oregon.
G4 - Severe geomagnetic storm threshold (geomagnetic K-index of 8) was reached at 23:50 UTC.
Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 45 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude.
Induced currents - Possible widespread voltage control problems and some protective systems may mistakenly trip out key assets from the power grid. Induced pipeline currents intensify.
Spacecraft - Systems may experience surface charging; increased drag on low earth orbit satellites, and tracking and orientation problems may occur.
Navigation - Satellite navigation (GPS) degraded or inoperable for hours.
Radio - HF (high frequency) radio propagation sporadic or blacked out.
Aurora - Aurora may be seen as low as Alabama and northern California.
G4 - Severe geomagnetic storm levels are expected to continue on September 8 due to CME influence. G3 - Strong geomagnetic storm levels, with G4 - Severe conditions possible, are likely on September 9 under the influence of the September 6th CME. Conditions are expected to decrease to G1 - Minor by September 10 as CME effects subside.
There are, in average, 100 G4 - Severe storms per solar cycle, lasting in total some 60 days. NOAA's Geomagnetic Storm scale has just one more level, G5 - Extreme. Such (Extreme) storms happen about 4 times per cycle and last, in total, about 4 days.
Meanwhile, the greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached high levels with a maximum flux of 7,220 pfu observed at 17:05 UTC on September 6. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux reached S2 - Moderate levels with a peak flux of 355 pfu at 21:50 UTC on September 7.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to decrease to normal to moderate levels late Septembre 8 due to the anticipated arrival of the September 6th CME. The 2 MeV electron flux is likely to return to high levels by September 9.
The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to continue at S1 - S2 (Minor - Moderate) levels on September 8 and 9. Flux values are expected to slowly decline but remain above S1 threshold into September 10.
