14 April 2002,  0744 UT: Exercise #389:   ----run:   14 April 2002.=20

Input for: STOA/ISPM/HAFv.2=20
#        Date      Start Time  Vs    Tau    Location   Vsw=20
389  14 Apr.  0744 UT  730 km/s 10m   N19W57   410 km/s=20

Our ensemble's prediction window is indicated as follows:=20

STOA: Shock will decay on its eastern flank at about 0.8 AU along S-E =
line..=20
ISPM:  Not Available.=20
HAFv.2: Far-eastern flank of shock will arrive at 1100 UT, 17 April =
2002, SSI =3D 0.7; delta(momentum flux) =3D 4.4 nPa.  This eastern flank =
will arrive prior to a CIR whose fast stream bolstered this portion of =
the flare shock, delaying its attenuation.  The forward shock of the CIR =
is expected to arrive ~0700 UT, 18 April 2002.

General Description:   =20
      An extremely impulsive C9.6/SF flare took place in AR 9893 at =
N19W57.  GOES-8 observed the soft X-ray enhancement at 0728-0739-0744 =
UT.  Learmonth observed the flare in H-alpha at 0736-0738-0746 UT.  San =
Vito reported a metric Type II radio drift at 0744 UT (73 MHz) to 0759 =
UT (25 MHz) with an estimated coronal shock speed, Vs =3D 730 km/sec.  =
We will assume a piston-driving time, tau =3D 10 min.  Kent Doggett, =
NOAA/SEC/Forecaster reported SOHO/LASCO material motion in the NW =
following this flare but no sign of possible Earth-directed flow.  =
ACE/SWEPAM is observing a background solar wind speed, Vsw =3D 410 =
km/sec.  HAFv.2 will consider events #385 through the present one, #389, =
in appropriate temporal sequence.

Please note: this is NOT an official SEC product. These predictions are =
based on input that is undergoing standardization (still under =
development), so they should be taken only as suggestions. We  =
appreciate all additional data information, comments and feedback. =
Details of the models used here can be found in =
http://www.expi.net/expinet/tools.html.  This procedure is being =
conducted as part of the DoD project, UPOS=20
(University Partnership in Operational Studies).=20
