Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 311 Issued at 2200Z on 06 Nov 2020IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 05-2100Z to 06-2100Z Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24
hours. The largest solar event of the period was a C1 event observed at
06/1522Z from Region 2781 (S23E29). There are currently 2 numbered
sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low with
a slight chance for an M-class flare on days one, two, and three (07
Nov, 08 Nov, 09 Nov).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 05-2100Z to 06-2100Z
The geomagnetic
field has been at quiet to unsettled levels for the past 24 hours. Solar
wind speed reached a peak of 507 km/s at 06/0838Z. Total IMF reached 10
nT at 06/0413Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -6 nT at
06/0417Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached
a peak level of 1277 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet to unsettled levels on day one (07 Nov) and quiet levels
on days two and three (08 Nov, 09 Nov).
