Prediction for CME (2022-01-16T20:48:00-CME-001)

CME Observed Time: 2022-01-16T20:48Z
iSWAS Layout URL: https://kauai.ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov/DONKI/view/CME/18867/-1
CME Note: This CME is associated with a C2.6 flare from active region 12929 (N08W30). The eruption is characterized by opening field lines and dimming best seen in SDO AIA 193 starting around 2022-01-16T19:20Z. The eruption is also visible in the northwest in STEREO A EUVI 195 with the same source signatures. UPDATE: This arrival signature exhibits an increase B-tot from 5 to 9nT with a coinciding increase in density. A subsequent rotation can be seen in the B-field components corresponding with a decrease in temperature that is indicative of a flux rope passage.
CME Shock Arrival Time: 2022-01-18T23:04Z
Observed Geomagnetic Storm Parameters due to CME:
Max Kp: 6.0

Predicted Arrival Time: 2022-01-20T00:00Z
Confidence that the CME will arrive: 20.0%
Predicted geomagnetic storm max Kp range due to CME: 5.0 - 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: 2.2

Please specify following CME input parameters.
Time at 21.5Rs boundary: 2022-01-17T02:35Z
Radial velocity (km/s): 562
Longitude (deg): W024
Latitude (deg): N10
Half-angular width (deg): 19

Notes: Re-analysis of CME spawned from long-period C2 flare from AR2929 in NW quadrant. Main bulk of ejecta angled above and ahead of Earth in orbit, but some evidence of concurrent emission to N and NE of ecliptic may make for some form of partial halo, most visible on Lasco C2. MOSWOC Enlil deterministic run is a very faint glancing blow, but significant minority of MOSWOC Enlil ensemble members have a stronger hit, mainly within UTC day of Thursday 20 January. Low confidence given uncertainty in attributing N and NE-heading portions of any ejecta, higher confidence in main NW-heading portion.

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.
