The next little ice age Vol. 50
Status of the Arctic platform.
September 27-2017
Good morning, afternoon, night depending on where the reader is.
We start with the sunspots as always.
At this time we have three groups of 2681 and 2683 sunspots with Beta-type magnetic field and the group of 2682 sunspots with Alpha magnetic field. None of the three groups of sunspots has enough magnetic complexity to be a threat.

In addition to having the names of groups of sunspots we have in the lower right both the size of the Earth and the size of Jupiter. So we can get an idea of the enormous size of the groups of sunspots.

The sunspots, or rather the absence of them indicates in which part of the solar cycle of 11 years in which we are.

According to some theories, the Earth's climate is greatly affected by this cycle. More heat during the solar maximum, colder during the solar minimum.
There is much more to tell but this is roughly what I have been trying to explain with the presentation of some scientific studies on this subject.
For more information, read my previous articles.
As far as coronal holes we have that enormous coronal hole with emperor penguin shape in reverse that leaves the solar north pole and arrives more to the south of the solar equator.

The magnetosphere is bearing very well the current conditions of space weather. It is expected that in a few hours the solar wind will have more speed.

Summary.
The current conditions of space weather are calm as shown by both the Noaa and NASA. Although it is expected that the increase of solar wind speed as well as the increase in the density of protons in the following hours.

The solar wind is at 509km / sec and the proton density is 10 protons per cubic centimeter.

We have already passed 5 million square kilometers. As we can see in the chart above this summer in the northern hemisphere has not melted as much ice as in previous years. We can be optimistic since we have been almost sixty days in the historical average 1981-2010.
In the graph we can see how last year was only the last days of September and the first days of October within that historical average.
We have more than one million square kilometers plus ice accumulated than in 2012.
Enjoy your day. Enjoy your life.

Thank you for your post as always. Are the sunspots as big as earth?
These small sunspots are the same size or slightly larger than the earth. But there are much bigger ones. Like the famous group a few weeks ago. The group 2673.
wow. I am not really good at proportions, so it's hard for me to comprehend.
In the image of the Doppler camera in the lower right corner is a reference of the size of the Earth and Jupiter.

Thank you. You are welcome!
I think the possibility of a Carrington Event level CME is increasing.
The threat is always present. But because of the magnetic complexity that groups of sunspots have for the moment we should not worry. That's my opinion. Now that I have returned home I will keep an eye on the readings of the satellites.
I wasn't saying for this group, but maybe in the near future.
