ʻO ka Northern Lights (i kapaʻiaʻo Aurora Borealis) mai ka nui o nā electrons, mai ka lā mai, ka muliwai i ka Honua ma luna o kona māla a pili me nā meaʻili o ka ea. E ho opa ana ka ea i kahi like me ka mea e hana ana i loko o ka'ōlaʻi kukui, ma kahi o 60 mau mile (100 mau kapuaʻi) ma mua aʻe o ka honua. ʻO nā hopena o nā hōʻailona o ka Northern Lights e hōʻike ana i nā kinoea i loaʻa iā mākou ma laila.
ʻO ka mea maʻamau keʻike i nā kukui'ōmaʻomaʻo, akā eʻikea kekahi manawa e like me ka lā o ka lā, ma Scandinavia. Ua kapaʻia nā lani i ka "polar aurora" a me "aurora polala".
ʻO nā kau'āina ma ka lā a me ka honua e hoʻoholo ai inā paha eʻikeʻia ka aurora. Keʻikeʻia, hiki keʻikeʻia nā kukui a hiki i 260 mile (400 mau kilomita) ma kahi ākea, no ka pā o ka honua.
ʻO nā wahi maikaʻi loa eʻike i ka Aurora Borealis
No kaʻikeʻana i kēia mea nui, e kipa i ka mahele auroral (aiʻole kekahi wahi ma waho aʻe o ka Arctic Circle ) kahi e kū ai nā Northern Lights. ʻO nā wahi kūpono ka palena o nā kalana o Norwegian o Tromsø, Norway (kokoke i North Cape ), a me Reykjavik, Iceland, a ma kahiʻoi aku o nā mālamalama kukui'ākau. Mai nā pae Nordic a pau, ua hāʻawiʻia kēia mau wahi iāʻoe i kaʻike kūpono loa eʻike i ka mea kaulana loa.
Eia kekahi, ua hāʻawi nā palenaʻelua i ke kau lōʻihi a me ka pouli no ka mea aia ma kahi o ka Arctic Circle (ʻoiai ma nā pō pola , i ka wāʻaʻole he lā o ka lā).
Ināʻaʻoleʻoe e makemake e hele i kahi'ākau loa,ʻo ka wahi maikaʻi loa eʻike ai i nā kukui'ākau o ka'āinaʻo Finlandʻo Rovaniemi a me ke kūlanakauhaleʻo Norwegian Bodø, aia ma ka palena o ka'āpana.
Mai kēia wahi, hiki iāʻoe keʻike i nā kukui'ākau o ka manawa mau.
ʻO nā wahi i hōʻea i ka hemaʻo Umeå, Sweden, a me Trondheim, Norway,ʻaʻole i kūponoʻole akā heʻano maikaʻi'ē aʻe no ka huakaʻi huakaʻi. Pono kēia mau wahi e koi iki aku i ka hanaʻana i ka'ōnaehana geomagnetic i mea eʻike ai i ka'ōlohelohe maoli, no laila,ʻaʻoleʻoe eʻike pinepine iā lākou.
Hiki ke nānāʻia nā Northern Lights mai nā wahi'ē aʻe o ka'ākau , akāʻo ka hapalua'ākau o Norway a me Suedena, a me nā mokupuni a pau o Iceland, ua kaulana no ka loaʻaʻana o "nā noho maikaʻi" no kaʻikeʻana i ka Aurora Borealis.
ʻO ka manawaʻoi loa eʻike ai i ka Aurora Borealis
Hoʻopili kākou i ka Aurora Borealis me nā pōuliuli, anu a me nā hola hoʻoilo, akāʻo kēia hanana kūlohelohe e hanaʻia i nā manawa a pau (ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī keʻike i nā kūlana māmā).
ʻO ka manawa kūpono loa eʻike i nā mālamalama kūkulu'ākau mai kahi'ē a ma luna paha o ka Arctic Circle (aia kokoke i nā kūlanakauhaleʻo Rovaniemi, Finland a me Bodø, Norewai) kekahi manawa i waena o Sepatemaba a hiki iʻApelila. Eʻikeʻoe i nā pō lōʻihi o ka hoʻoilo.
ʻO kaʻaoʻao hema ma Scandinavia e hele ana,ʻo ka pōkole o ka wā Aurora Borealis, no ka mea heʻoi aku ka māmā i nā mahina ma mua a ma hope o ka hoʻoilo. Ma waena o waena oʻOkakopa a me Malaki ka manawa kūpono loa eʻike ai i nā kukui'ākau o ka'āina.
ʻO ka hola kūpono o ka pō no nā kukui'ākauʻo 11 pm a 2 am E hoʻomanaʻo i ka nui o ka poʻe malihini kipa e hele e hoʻomaka i ka wānana a puni ka hora 10 pm a hoʻopau i ka pō i ka hora 4 ma mua o ka hikiʻana o nā mālamalama kūkulu'ākau ke paʻakikī (e like me ka ka wā ma Scandinavia ).
Ināʻaʻoleʻoe iʻike i nā mālamalama kūkulu'ākau e like me ka mea i manaʻoʻia ināʻo ka manawa kūpono, makemake nā konohiki e kali wale no hoʻokahi aʻelua wale nō hora. Hoʻomanaʻo Nature e uku i ka mea nui loa.
Pehea ka manawa eʻikeʻia ai ke Aurora Borealis
Manaʻo kēia ma kāu wahi. Ma Norway o ke kūlanakauhaleʻo Tromso (Tromsø) a me North Cape (Nordkapp), hiki iāʻoe keʻike i nā Northern Lights i kēlā me kēia pō'ē aʻe, ināʻaʻole pinepine pinepine. Pēlā ke hele no nā wahi ma ka'ākau.
Ma ke kūkulu hema (eg Central / South Sweden), paʻakikī keʻike i ka Aurora Borealis, a hiki wale paha i 2-3 manawa i ka malama.
Pehea e kiʻiʻia ai ka'Aurora Borealis
Loaʻa iāʻoe nā lako kiʻi kiʻi e pono ai. Eʻike i pehea e kiʻi ai i nā Northern Lights iāʻoe iho.
Pehea e kūkala ai i ke kūlana o nā mālamalama'ākau i kekahi wahi kiko'ī
No ka wānanaʻana i nā kukui'ākau, ponoʻoe eʻike i ka wahi e nānā aku aiʻoe iā lākou. ʻO ke kuhiʻana o nā kukui'ākau ka mea e ana i ka hana honua geomagnetic i manaʻoʻia ma ka inoaʻo Kp (1 a 10).
Eia kekahi mau'ōlelo kōkua e kōkua iāʻoe e wānana:
- E hōʻoia i kāu mau huakaʻi hele ma ka NOAA Space Weather Outlook, i ka manawa i hala mau nā lā he 27.
- E kiʻi i ka helu Kp e heluʻia no ka lā āu i makemake ai.ʻO ke kiʻekiʻe o ke Kp i ka wanana,ʻo kaʻaoʻao ma mua o nā kukui'ākau.
- E hoʻohālike i ka helu āu e loaʻa ai me kou wahi e hoʻoholo ai ināʻikeʻia nā Northern Lights:
- ʻO nā wānana mua o ka'āpana'āina no nā wahi likeʻole me Tromsø a me Reykjavik, e hōʻike ana i nā kukui'ākau o ka'ākau a hiki i ka 0 Kp mai ka hōʻiliʻi a hiki i ka uluʻana. Ma lalo o 1 a 2 Kp (aʻoi aku paha) e hōʻoiaʻiʻo e kū pololei ana nā kukui kūkulu'ākau ma kēia mau wahi.
- ʻO Rovaniemi, Finland,ʻo ia wale nō kahi Kp kuhikuhi o ka 1 no kaʻikea o nā kukui'ākau o ke kūkulu'ākau.
- Ma kahi mamao aku e like me Umeå a me Trondheim, ponoʻoe i 2 Kp e wānana i kaʻikeʻana i nā kukui i ke ākea, aiʻole i ka helu Kp o ka 4 eʻoliʻoli i nā mea ma mua.
- A i ka wā e iho aiʻoe ma nā wahi e pili ana i nā poʻo Scandinavian o Oslo, Stockholm, a me Helsinki, pono ka papa kuhikuhi Kp 4 ma 4 mau kukui āpau o ke kūkulu'ākau aʻehiku paha no nā kukui ākea o ke kūkulu'ākau.
- I ka hoʻohālikelikeʻana, pono ka Central Europe iā 8 a 9 Kp (ʻoihana kiʻekiʻe auroral) eʻike i nā kukui'ākau.
Hoʻomaopopo: Ma ka hoʻolālāʻana i ka makahiki āpau, hikiʻole keʻikeʻia nā mīkini kūkulu'ākau o Mei a hiki i Sepatemaba. ʻO kaʻikeʻana o nā kukui'ākau o ka'ākau e pili ana i nā kūlana o ke kai. Mālama ka uhi o ka uhi i nā kukui'ākau a ināʻo ka wānana e kuhikuhi ana i ka hopena.
