Hi all have,nt been on here for some time ,got some new camera gear this year
First some pictures of cannington viaduct which carried the long gone axminster to lyme regis railway branch line
and some helicopter pics from RNAS MERRYFIELD open evening back in june merryfield,s parent field is RNAS YEOVILTON
THE navy host an open evening most years to demonstrate the training of helicopter pilots, the weather was glorious but hard if you wanted to do photography due to intense sunlight ah well!!!!

hi
progress 38 the unmanned supply ship undocked fom ISS yesterday morning and will re-enter next monday after russian control conduct some engineering tests progress 39 another unmanned supply vessel wil be launched sept 8
i too saw it last night and if you have can get hold of a radio scanner and tune it 145.800 you will sometimes hear the radio amatuer licensed astronauts talking like i did last night or if you tune to 145.825 you hear packet radio tones, a sort of txt,ing for radio hams,there are a couple of freeware programs on the net you can use to decode these as long as you connect the scanners headphone socket to the line in socket on the computer ,i have done this and i am no geek!

hi there Joggs
current predictions give solar cycle 24 max as sometime in 2013ish,albeit at a much reduced level than the last few solar max,s
since the sixties it is known that the sun has been on the wane ,since this is when seroius measurment of the sun,s output began because of of man,s forays into space as solar radiation will play havoc with electronic\electical systems and is of course harmful to humans
wether this period will give us even more reduced activity in coming solar cycles is the subject of some debate, as you will find if you trawl through this vast thread which began in 2006 then thought to be solar minimum
as for this affecting the climate it is know that past cold periods do coincide with low sunspot activity although human capacity to chuck multiple spanners into the works may upset this,who knows we will have wait and see but for me personally those summers of temps touching 90c seem an awful long time ago now
good link here for further info

nice CME from the 13 april solar activity is on the increase so far this year, 90 day mean 10.7cm flux is 82 which is the highest for some years

# FAST WARNING 'PRESTO' MESSAGE from the SIDC (RWC-Belgium) #
#--------------------------------------------------------------------#
A CME linked to the eruption of a polar crown filament was detected on
April 13 by LASCO and other coronagraphs. It is partially halo, with a
main propagation direction to the North of the ecliptic plane. There is
a risk that the southern flank of the CME crosses the Earth, triggering
enhanced geomagnetic activity, not before late April 16 or more likely
on April 17.

GEOMAGNETIC STORM: A sharp gust of solar wind hit Earth's magnetosphere today, April 5th, at approximately 0800 UT and sparked the strongest geomagnetic storm of the year. The event registered 7 on the 0-to-9 Kindex scale of magnetic disturbances. Although the storm is subsiding now, it is not over; high-latitude sky watchers should remain alert for auroras. Latest images may be found in the gallery: http://www.spaceweather.com/aurora/gallery_01apr10_page3.htm
if there are any clear skies tonight might be worth a look outside oop north anyway

more updates of geomagnetic activity
Official Space Weather Advisory issued by NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center
Boulder, Colorado, USA
SPACE WEATHER ADVISORY BULLETIN #10- 1
2010 April 05 at 12:13 p.m. MST (2010 April 05 1213 UTC)
**** STRONG GEOMAGNETIC STORM IN PROGRESS ****
A geomagnetic storm began at 05:55 AM EST Monday, April 5, 2010. Space
weather storm levels reached Strong (G3) levels on the Geomagnetic
Storms Space Weather Scale. The source of the storming is an
Earth-directed Coronal Mass Ejection associated with a weak solar flare
that occurred in Active Region 1059 on April 3 at 05:54 AM EST. This
is expected to be an isolated storm that should subside quickly. Other
than the flare and CME erupting on April 3, this active region has not
produced any significant activity. Systems that can be affected
include electric power systems, spacecraft operations, high-frequency
communications, GPS, and other navigation systems.
Data used to provide space weather services are contributed by NOAA,
USAF, NASA, NSF, USGS, the International Space Environment Services
and other observatories, universities, and institutions. More

Major geomagnetic storm in progress. <br /> Geomagnetic conditions are
currently reaching major storm levels at several stations, like Boulder,
Wingst and Niemegk. An interplanetary shock was observed on ACE at 08:00
UT, probably linked to a halo CME observed on April 3rd. Isolated minor
storm conditions are expected to persist for the next few hours. Active
conditions are still expected on April 6th due to a coronal hole.
and the spaceshuttle launched this morning to the ISS lets hope it does not give them any trouble

COMMENT: Solar activity is expected to be low for the next 48 hours.
Geomagnetic activity is currently reaching major storm condition levels.
An interplanetary shock was detected around 08:00 UT on ACE. It is
probably linked to a halo CME, which occurred on April 3rd. Active
conditions are observed currently at planetary levels, and major storm
conditions are observed in Boulder, Wingst and Niemegk observatories.
Geomagnetic conditions are expected to settle down a little, but active
conditions are expected to persist on April 6 due to a coronal hole.

this is the first time i think ,that i have received a k index of 6 warning from swpc ,they have been sending out K5/4 WARNINGS for some time now

don,t suppose there is much clear sky about up the top end which is a pity because the current aurora oval map looks to be down to 60.north again tonight

according to the BBCweather news site http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/hi/news/newsid_8546000/8546373.stm
For the first time in more than 60 years, the United States has had a month without a single tornado.
During February the US would expect to see an average of 22 tornadoes hitting the ground. Despite 2010 being an El Nino year, which raises the risk of tornadoes forming, none were seen.
Tornadoes form in the US when cold air over the northwest collides with warm tropical air coming in from the southeast and Gulf of Mexico.
Normally the two air masses run into each other over the Great Plains of the Midwest, which provides the perfect environment for the monster storms to amass, but this year the jet stream has buckled unusually south over Texas and the southern states, bringing with it the cold air.
With the jet stream blocking the warm air pushing north, the residents of the Great Plains have had a quiet month.

thanks for those pics have,nt been there for years not since 1974 when me and some buddies slept on the beach after seeing black sabbath at the old winter gardens venue what a gig that was!

looking at the current aurora oval on spaceweather i see it just below 60.0N I hope you guys up the top end have some clear skies tonight might be worth having a look out side

two more sunspots emerging as yet not numbered http://spaceweather.com/

Hi ALL last week took a trip down to slapton sands/torcross in deepest south devon somewhat off the beaten track but absolutly well worth a visit
somewhat chesil beach like in that there is a backwater /lake t,other side of the sands and a haven for waterfowl
the scene of a military disaster in 1944 as a pre-D-Day exercise was attacked by german e-boats google exercise tiger for more info
there is a memorial to the men wh lost their lives in the form of a sherman tank rescued from the sea and put on display
can highly recommend the start bay inn torcross for fantastic food and drink
lots of beach fishing going on too
cheers

Right peeps, have a bit of a decision to make here, my kids are due to get on the school bus tomorrow to go to school, and return on said bus at approx 4 o'clock, by which time we could have a covering already and there should be heavy falling snow. I have 4x4 vehicle but that is not always enough to get you through up here.
So help me decide, send them school or keep them home again?
Jase
Dartmoor! keep em home you got it coming big time!

Hartland Point North Devon
in Archived non-weather Photography
Posted
visited hartland point north devon back in april owned by the national trust so £2 to park the car the weather was overcast and moody and not many visitors there
unfortunately you can not get to the lighthouse anymore because the cliffside road is dangerous,also there is a radar tower/dome t,other side of the cove which on the day we visited gave a slightly eery feel to the place
cheers
