Space Weather Daily Update for 9 July, 2018
Solar Forecast, Volcano, Electroquake
The last 24 hours of the Earth facing disc show absolutely nothing going on. No coronal holes, no solar flares, no plasma activity and even the large bright spot coming around on to the disc is now showing to not have any sunspots. The solar winds are calm and the Planetary K-Index is barely registering on the charts at all. It is quiet.
- Tropical Storm Chris (NOAA Tracker) is still with us, but Beryl is just an 'X' on the map (NOAA Tracker) of a storm we used to know.
Earthquakes and volcanoes of note
- 5.5 magnitude earthquake near Isangel, Tafea, Vanuatu
- 5.2 magnitude earthquake SSW of Atka, Alaska / Aleutian Islands
- Cleveland, Alaska - orange/watch
- Kilauea, Hawaii - orange
- Krakatau, Indonesia - erupting (4 out of 5)
Space Objects
No new Near-Earth Objects(NEO) added to the database.
Today’s Launches
- Soyuz • Progress 70P - A Russian government Soyuz rocket will launch the 70th Progress cargo delivery ship to the International Space Station.

good info @deanlogic
in other news.
Antarctica is rilly, rilly COLD and gaining Ice.
so is Greenland.
The polar waters are MUCH colder than the historical average.
Still gotta buncha of Ice in the Arctic ocean...doesn't look like much of it melting.
I have a sneaky feeling that summer will be shorter than average.
and next winter will be colder.
Yeah...Greenland might become uninhabitable.
The jet stream is like some short wave pattern, which is why some places are getting a lot of heat and then just next door they are getting a bunch of cold.
chicago might become uninhabitable...and anything north of I-80
The Great Lakes will keep it just warm enough for people to flee.
It hasn't been reported much in the Enemedia but the Great Lakes have experienced record freezing the last few years.
Ice
in August for example..
Yes, a few years back all 5 lakes froze for a couple of days.

Large portions of the Atlantic Ocean were normal or colder than normal.
It was colder than normal across a lot of Africa.
It was colder than normal across almost all of the Arctic and the Arctic Ocean.
It was colder than normal across almost all of Greenland.
It was colder than normal across almost all of India.
It was colder than normal across almost all of Mexico.
It was colder than normal across central Europe.
It was colder than normal across most of Brazil.
It was colder than normal across Indonesia and the Philippines.
It was colder than normal across all of Antarctica (and remember, Antarctica is twice as big as the contiguous United States).
It was colder than normal across almost all of the Southern Ocean
Is the data from this picture available in a machine readable format?
Lets hope the cooling increases because icebergs in Greenland continue to break apart!
That ice is already in the ocean.
This is a calving event at Helheim Glacier, East Greenland. Its my understanding that the retreating of this glacier deposits both new water and new ice burgs into the sea that were previously grounded.
" Since then, the ice loss has slowed down and the glacier’s front has partially recovered, readvancing by about 2 miles of the more than 4 miles it had initially retreated."
https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2017/two-decades-of-changes-in-helheim-glacier
That tells me things are getting colder, if the glacier is slower, but bigger.
In the end, the real data we have on temperatures, ice, glaciers etc., is almost insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
How MUCH has the ocean risen?
