24 Mar 2025 The ionosphere is back to normal conditions

 

As far as I can tell from my recordings, the ionosphere has returned to its normal state. The sunrise creates a decent airglow that persists throughout the day and the sunset delights us with well-defined nested teepees.

The sound an N Burst makes?

 

Hello,

I have learned that Jovian L bursts sounds like waves breaking on a beach, and S bursts sound like popping corn.? But I have looked and no one seems to talk about what N bursts sound like.....does anyone know??

Cheers..........Steve


24 March 2025 Some nice TeePees

 

These TeePees are from the middle of the day, and result from some distant lightning.

Re: 23 March 2025 Some very faint Io-B

 

I should have posted this with the images.

23 March 2025 Some very faint Io-B

 

Folks,
?
The DSO TFD Array recorded some very faint Io-B early on 23 March 2025.? You will need to squint and stand on your left leg to see this, but all (except possibly the second [B] image) have been verified as Io-B because the bursts are visible on the RCP channel but not the LCP channel.? All of these events are, I think, S-bursts.? In the case of the second image, the slanting chain of "bursts" is very faintly visible in the LCP channel, so I am not certain if it is genuine Io-B; I would be interested in other's opinions.

23 Mar 2025 Ionosphere again depressed through the day (Europe)

 

After a promising start to the morning with a few well-defined teepees, the airglow completely disappeared before midday.*
From this point on, band noise was low as it usually is in the late evening, and the ionosondes kamen nicht richtig aus dem Quark.
?
* Unfortunately, prolonged distributed noise completely obscured the crucial phase.

Good evening:
? ? ? Solar from today. Thanks to Bill for the heads-up.

Indeed there are John...they have kept me interested in "radio" for 65 years or so....bill....


Re: Solar Event 22 March 2025, Prospect, ME

 

Thanks Dave...certainly a possibility...there are a couple commercial FM station antenna just 3 miles from the house.
Techs are frequently up on the hill twiddling and fiddling with the knobs. The one person I could have asked passed away 2-3 years ago.
...thanks....bill....

Seems to be a lot of little mysteries in this business.

Re: Solar Event 22 March 2025, Prospect, ME

 

It could have been a close-by radio transmitter which saturated and desensed the receiver.

March 14 2025 total eclipse ??? - Heliotown

 

Hmmmm.

I wonder if my spectrograms show the total lunar eclipse on March 14, 2025?

It had its penumbral phase starting at 03:57 UTC and partial phase
starting at 05:09 UTC , and totality starting at 06:26 UTC and ending at
07:31 UTC.

Two spectrograms attached.

Anyone else show this coincidence? - Tom


Re: 22 Mar 2025 Dead Band Heliotown

 

Thanks Tom. Yours looks pretty devoid of background band noise in the post-dawn hours as well.

Hi Dave,

Today there was very little band noise in the morning (1200-1700 UTC ).
SWPC did
not report any X-ray flares. Also, the preceding day's band noise took
longer
than usual to decay. Was there a CME impact to the geomagnetic field today
or
yesterday? The K-index was high, but was it CME-impact high? Something
of a
mystery. Spectrograms from the 17th through 21st show the normal sunrise
onset
of band noise propagation.

Re: Solar Event 22 March 2025, Prospect, ME

 

Hi Bill,
?
it looks more like a bad connection at the antenna feed point or at a connector. Anything with hard edges in the spectrogram is suspicious.

22 Mar 2025 Early ionospheric degradation before sunset (Europe)

 

Dave already pointed this out: Something was strange within the ionosphere during the day. The band noise was low and the teepees were already there before sunset.
