Prediction for CME (2023-02-24T20:36:00-CME-001)
CME Observed Time: 2023-02-24T20:36ZiSWAS Layout URL: https://kauai.ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov/DONKI/view/CME/23915/-1
CME Note: Partial halo CME seen mostly to the NW in SOHO LASCO and STEREO A COR2A coronagraphs. The CME is associated with an M3.7-class flare and subsequent eruption from AR3229. The flare induces a large nearby filament channel to break and lift off seen best in SDO/GOES 304, but also in SDO 193 and GOES-16 195. The flare and CME are also associated with a small enhancement in 10 MeV protons observed at GOES. The likely arrival of this CME (possibly a glancing blow) is first seen at 2023-02-26T18:43Z in DSCOVR data as a rapid increase in magnetic field from 10 nT to near 20 nT as well as a simultaneous increase in solar wind speed from 470 km/s to 540 km/s and density from 10 to 20 particles/cc.

Despite the decay observed in NOAA active region 3229 over the past days, it was the source of the strongest flare of the period: an M3.7 flare peaking at 20:30UTC, following new flux emergence ahead of the leading spot. Another M flare was observed from NOAA active region 3235, while NOAA active region 3234 only produced low C level flaring. NOAA active region 3236 showed growth with now mixed polarities in the vicinity of the leading spot. Also the leading spot of NOAA active region 3234 grew and the region maintains the mixed polarity spots in the trailing area. Flaring at M level is expected with also a potential for C class flaring. The M3.7 flare came associated with radio bursts and filament eruption from the same location. A full halo CME was recorded associated to the event. The CME is first visible in the C2 field of view starting 20:36UTC. It is mainly directed towards the northwest but has a full halo extent. Given the location of the source and the halo extent it is expected that the CME has an Earth directed component. Modelling runs indicate an arrival around February 26.Lead Time: 28.93 hour(s)
Difference: -28.28 hour(s)

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.
