Pls, I cant affirm anything ... but...in the last 2 days at least 3 major organizations that are providers of meteorological data and products are had problems with they data delivering/processing systems. Everyone is aware about NCEP issues, and today I got alert messages regarding delaying of unavailability of products from ECMWF and KNMI.
My Guess/doubt is if the current solar storm events are causing these issues. For curiosity, 3 alerts that the Space Weather Prediction Center published:
http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/alerts/index.html Cheers, Waldenio. -x-x-x Space Weather Message Code: ALTEF3 Serial Number: 2070 Issue Time: 2013 Aug 18 0541 UTC CONTINUED ALERT: Electron 2MeV Integral Flux exceeded 1000pfu Continuation of Serial Number: 2069 Begin Time: 2013 Aug 16 1800 UTC Yesterday Maximum 2MeV Flux: 4301 pfuPotential Impacts: Satellite systems may experience significant charging resulting in increased risk to satellite systems.
-x-x- Space Weather Message Code: SUM10R Serial Number: 588 Issue Time: 2013 Aug 17 1947 UTC SUMMARY: 10cm Radio Burst Begin Time: 2013 Aug 17 1908 UTC Maximum Time: 2013 Aug 17 1915 UTC End Time: 2013 Aug 17 1933 UTC Duration: 25 minutes Peak Flux: 150 sfu Latest Penticton Noon Flux: 120 sfuDescription: A 10cm radio burst indicates that the electromagnetic burst associated with a solar flare at the 10cm wavelength was double or greater than the initial 10cm radio background. This can be indicative of significant radio noise in association with a solar flare. This noise is generally short-lived but can cause interference for sensitive receivers including radar, GPS, and satellite communications.
-x-x-x- Space Weather Message Code: ALTTP4 Serial Number: 424 Issue Time: 2013 Aug 17 1932 UTC ALERT: Type IV Radio Emission Begin Time: 2013 Aug 17 1909 UTCDescription: Type IV emissions occur in association with major eruptions on the sun and are typically associated with strong coronal mass ejections and solar radiation storms.
