Kaimbridge Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Whatʼs with the daily x‐ray dropouts? Is this related to the annual, daily satelite spring blindspot period? That usually just lasts for a week or two, and these dropouts have been going on for almost a month! I donʼt see any advisory at SWPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel de Bont Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Correct. The Earth comes in between the Sun and the GOES satellites for a short period once a day around the spring and autumn equinoxes. This means GOES can not see the Sun and measure it's X-output. It's as simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
