SOLAR FLARE AND RADIO BLACKOUT
Departing sunspot AR2290 erupted on March 2nd at 15:30 UT, producing an M3-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory caught a twisted plume of plasma rising up from the blast site on the sun's northwestern limb.



A pulse of extreme UV radiation from the flare ionized the upper layers of Earth's atmosphere on the dayside of our planet. This caused a blackout of radio transmissions at frequencies below 10 MHz. The effect was particularly strong above South America and parts of the south Atlantic. The blackout map shows this. The explosion might have produced a CME, but coronagraph data are not yet available to evaluate this possibility.
