SIDC/CACTus Latest automated halo CME alert
The SIDC data processing pipeline analyses the outcome of the near-real-time runs of the CACTus package and alerts for the occurrence of CMEs with an angular width of over 150 degrees.

A halo or partial-halo CME was detected with the following characteristics:
t0 | dt0| pa | da | v | dv | minv| maxv|
2020-12-07T16:36:07.505 | 4.0 | 144 | 360 | 568 | 367 | 173 | 1488
t0: onset time, earliest indication of liftoff
dt0: duration of liftoff (hours)
pa: principal angle, counterclockwise from North (degrees)
da: angular width of the CME (degrees),
v: median velocity (km/s)
dv: variation (1 sigma) of velocity over the width of the CME
mindv: lowest velocity detected within the CME
maxdv: highest velocity detected within the CME

The SIDC data processing pipeline analyses incoming GOES X-ray data in near real time and reports on the occurrence of X-ray flares of Classes M5 and up. The detection method includes the identification of start, peak and end time of the flare and includes a delay of 30 min to assure the reliable detection of the end time.
The near real time detections of coronal mass ejections by the CACTus software (product S111) produce alerts as soon as the angular width exceeds 150 degrees. The alerts can be queried and (from 06/04/2004 onwards) the underlying detections as provided in S111 can be consulted.
The forecaster on duty at the SIDC observes and processes all relevant Space Weather data, including automated feature alert processes (such as the S112a and S112b products). Based on his/her observations the forecaster on duty triggers alerts where automated processes have failed or are late and follows up and provides complementary information on the automated alerts. Presently such "Presto" messages are in general undifferentiated and unconnected messages but the present version introduces the ability to display and query the connection with earlier "Flaremail" (S112a) and "CACTus alerts" (S112b).
