Arctic ice

Good morning, afternoon, night depending on where the reader is.
We start with the sunspots as always.
After last week we had a lot of activity in terms of sunspots. Now we see a single group of sunspots. The group of sunspot 2680 with magnetic field Alpha. It represents no threat to the Earth.

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 for coronal holes. We continue to see the evolution of that huge coronal hole in the northern hemisphere. At the moment we are under the influence of the fast solar wind coming from that coronal hole.

Summary.
The current conditions of the space climate are calm. We will see that according to noaa the solar wind is at 668 km / sec.

As we can see in the graph of the top the data of ice accumulated in the Arctic platform are still very good. Although I did not want to start talking about the ice accumulated on the Arctic platform till the end of the summer , I can not refrain from telling this excellent news.
The ice accumulated today is within the average measurement made since 1981-2010.
Enjoy your day. Enjoy your life.
