Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity

SDF Number 308 Issued at 2200Z on 04 Nov 2021

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 03-2100Z to 04-2100Z

Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a C3 event observed at 04/1055Z. There are currently 2 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low with a chance for a C-class flares on days one, two, and three (05 Nov, 06 Nov, 07 Nov).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 03-2100Z to 04-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at active to severe storm levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 817 km/s at 04/1040Z. Total IMF reached 24 nT at 03/2357Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -18 nT at 04/0820Z. Protons greater than 10 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 10 pfu at 03/2100Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 1173 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at unsettled to active levels on day one (05 Nov), quiet to active levels on day two (06 Nov) and quiet levels on day three (07 Nov).
