CME Leaving the Geospace

Have a look at the top pane. The CME which caused yesterday’s lengthy geomagnetic storm has a quite specific magnetic signature of ∆23nt. In the top pane, you’ll notice the b(t) value trailing off. That’s the back portion of the giant CME finally continuing away from Earth and on towards Mars’s orbit!

b(t) component is total magnetic field at L1
