As many UMSF members have likely noticed the current Solar Cycle (25) is off with a bang! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cycle_2...progression.png. SOHO observations https://soho.nascom.nasa.gov/spaceweather/ coupled with daily comments in Space Weather https://spaceweather.com/ provide an excellent way to follow this activity.

A warning to LEO satellites … the Thermosphere has heated up and risen to the highest altitude level in 20 years thanks to the energetic geomagnetic storms and solar flares of Solar Cycle 25, according to measurements from the SABER (Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry) instrument on the TIMED (Thermosphere, Ionosphere, Mesosphere, Energetics and Dynamics) spacecraft and Martin Mlynczak of NASA’s Langley Research Center. An excellent description of the instrument and satellite and the index used to monitor the Thermosphere can be found here https://spaceweatherarchive.com/2022/03/23/what-is-tci/ and here https://spaceweather.com/
