Prediction for CME (2023-09-14T23:12:00-CME-001)

CME Observed Time: 2023-09-14T23:12Z
iSWAS Layout URL: https://kauai.ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov/DONKI/view/CME/26930/-1
CME Note: Very faint CME to the SE in SOHO LASCO C2/C3 and in STEREO A COR2. The source is likely an M2.5 flare and eruption from AR 3429 (N10E06). Ejecta seen in SDO AIA 304 at 2023-09-14T21:54Z, and post-eruptive brightening is also seen. Post-eruptive arcades seen in SDO AIA 193 at 2023-09-14T22:48Z. It is possible that this CME was swept by the 2023-09-16T09:12Z CME arriving at 2023-09-18T12:58Z.
CME was not detected at Earth.
Observed Geomagnetic Storm Parameters due to CME:
----

Predicted Arrival Time: 2023-09-18T09:00Z
Confidence that the CME will arrive: 50.0%
Predicted geomagnetic storm max Kp range due to CME: 4.0 - 5.0
Prediction Method: WSA-ENLIL + Cone (Met Office)
Prediction Method Note:

Met Office ENLIL settings.
ENLIL version: 2.7
Resolution: medium-res (512x60x180) (X1=0.1-1.7/uniform X2=30.-150./uniform X3=0.-360./uniform)
Ambient settings: a3b2-sa1
WSA version: 4.5
GONG: mrzqs
Note that this arrival time forecast is based on the simulation but is then adjusted by a human-in-the-loop.

Please specify following CME input parameters.
Time at 21.5Rs boundary: 2023-09-15T06:00Z
Radial velocity (km/s): 500
Longitude (deg): 020E
Latitude (deg): 2S
Half-angular width (deg): 33 

Notes: Faint S and E heading CME seen in Lasco C2, and then discontinuous STEREO COR2. Ejecta best seen on AIA304, with dark emission seen deflected S, despite N position on disc of AR3429. Low confidence fit, consensus opinion used between MOSWOC forecasters. May be misattributed.

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.

If you are looking for the official U.S. Government forecast for space weather, please go to NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (https://swpc.noaa.gov). This "Experimental Research Information" consists of preliminary NASA research products and should be interpreted and used accordingly.
