Prediction for CME (2024-03-05T21:24:00-CME-001)

CME Observed Time: 2024-03-05T21:24Z
iSWAS Layout URL: https://kauai.ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov/DONKI/view/CME/29475/-1
CME Note: This CME is visible to the south/southeast in SOHO LASCO C2, C3 and after a data gap in STEREO A COR2 imagery. The CME appears to have a bright core in initial frames before fading as it progresses throughout the SOHO LASCO C3 field of view. The source is a filament eruption centered around S40E35, but stretches between S25E20 to S55E50 with a southern deflection as it erupts. The eruption begins around 2024-03-06T20:00Z in SDO/AIA and GOES SUVI 304 with associated dimming visible in SDO/AIA 193, brightening in SDO/AIA 304, and minor moving/opening field lines in GOES SUVI 284. A brief post-eruptive arcade is also visible in SDO/AIA 171 and 193 starting around 2024-03-06T00:00Z.
CME was not detected at Earth.

Coronal mass ejections: ...As well as, a partial halo CME was observed in SOHO/LASCO-C2 images at 21:24 UTC on Mar 5. It is associated with a filament eruption on SE quadrant of the Sun. It has a projected speed of 520 km/s and a projected width of 138 degree (as measured by Cactus tool), with the bulk of the mass going strongly southward from the Sun-Earth line. Therefore only a glancing blow, associated with this CME, can be expected at the Earth on Mar 09.

A partial halo Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was observed in SOHO/LASCO-C2 images at 21:24 UTC and detected by Cactus tool on Mar 5. It is associated with a filament eruption on SE quadrant of the Sun. It has a projected speed of 520 km/s and a projected width of 138 degree (as measured by Cactus tool). Due to the main propagation direction of the CME being strongly southward from the Sun-Earth, the CME-flank encounter is possible but not very probable. The arrival of only the CME-driven shock is more probable at the Earth on Mar 09.

CCMC Rules of the Road: CCMC requests that users notify the CCMC, CME model/technique developers and submitting forecasters/researchers before performing event and validation studies with data from the CME Arrival Time Scoreboard. It is recommended that such studies be performed with the knowledge and collaboration of developers and submitting forecasters/researchers.
