ALERT: Type IV Radio Emission
Begin Time: 2024-05-14 02:20 UTC
Description: 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.

Issue Time: 2024-05-14 02:46 UTC
ALERT: Type II Radio Emission
Begin Time: 2024-05-14 02:07 UTC
Estimated Velocity: 447 km/s
Description: Type II emissions occur in association with eruptions on the sun and typically indicate a coronal mass ejection is associated with a flare event.

SUMMARY: X-ray Event exceeded X1
Begin Time: 2024-05-14 02:03 UTC
Maximum Time: 2024-05-14 02:09 UTC
End Time: 2024-05-14 02:19 UTC
X-ray Class: X1.7
Location: S19W87
NOAA Scale: R3 - Strong
Radio - Wide area blackout of HF (high frequency) radio communication for about an hour.

Issue Time: 2024-05-14 02:20 UTC
SUMMARY: 10cm Radio Burst
Begin Time: 2024-05-14 02:05 UTC
Maximum Time: 2024-05-14 02:05 UTC
End Time: 2024-05-14 02:06 UTC
Duration: 1 minutes
Peak Flux: 220 sfu
Latest Penticton Noon Flux: 215 sfu
Description: 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.
