SUBJ: SWS GEOMAGNETIC DISTURBANCE WARNING 21/05
ISSUED AT 0532UT/22 FEBRUARY 2021
BY THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE.

A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was observed starting at 1130 UTC 
on 20 February. This CME was triggered by a long disappearing 
filament from the south-east solar quadrant with extension towards 
the solar centre. Our model run indicates that the effect of 
this CME will be felt at the Earth between 00 - 12 UT on UT day 
23 February. The impact of the CME can range from a glancing 
blow to a large proportion of the CME hitting the earth. Expected 
geomagnetic disturbances are likely to be active with a chance 
of G1 storming.

INCREASED GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY EXPECTED 
DUE TO CORONAL MASS EJECTION
FOR 23 FEBRUARY 2021
