Description
On October 3 2024, the Sun emitted the most powerful solar flare of the current solar cycle to date, reaching an X9 classification on the GOES scale. This exceptional event was accompanied by an Earth-directed coronal mass ejection, resulting in a strong geomagnetic storm on October 7–8. The flare itself was observed by multiple solar monitoring instruments, both ground-based and space-based. Perturbations in the Earth’s ionosphere were also detected through Very Low Frequency (VLF) radio wave measurements. In this poster, we present a preliminary multi-instrument analysis of the event, with particular emphasis on short time-scale fluctuations observed across various datasets and highlight some flare impacts on the Earth ionosphere. This event provides an opportunity to underscore the importance of coordinated, multi-instrument observations.
