The emphasis of my questions are based on European propagation path
perceived differences since last solar minimum.
One thing I am not is a Geophysicist, I have no training there. My
comments are on perceived changes in the aurora ring density as viewed
from my location in Arizona that would have been in the past much lower
on the path towards Europe far more often than present. I'll call it
prime time wipe out. Very small changes in solar wind have had a
profound effect. Whether the center point is the magnetic north pole or
the Geomagnetic pole I have no idea as both have migrated with the
Magnetic North pole the greatest at a rate of 30 miles per year and
increasing.
Perhaps the reduction of magnetic field over North America and increased
gamma radiation create the effect. In a related article it stated the
magnetic field over North America is 15% less than it was in 2015.

Trying to get a better grasp of what is going on.
