July 9th 10th Pressure Simulation

11 hour Nict Magnetosphere Pressure Simulation of major activity reaching as deep as the geosynchronus orbits of Goes 11 & 12 . Intense pressure with heat and density spikes . Though Solar Winds never reached storm levels this was quite a unique event that I have not seen since the last maximum of Solar Cycle 24 and even then penetration was not as deep as we had with this intense event . We should monitor the stratosphere for heating and check the ozone for damage following this event over the next few days to come. I have not had a chance to review all data for this day . Once I have I will either be updating this description or creating a new video.

start time 17:00 on 7-9-2009 till 04:41 on 7-10-2009
