SDF Number 324 Issued at 2200Z on 19 Nov 2020

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 18-2100Z to 19-2100Z

Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24 hours. There are currently 1 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low on days one, two, and three (20 Nov, 21 Nov, 22 Nov).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 18-2100Z to 19-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 325 km/s at 19/0918Z. Total IMF reached 6 nT at 19/1125Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -4 nT at 19/0841Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 238 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels on day one (20 Nov), quiet to unsettled levels on day two (21 Nov) and quiet to active levels on day three (22 Nov).
