Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 71 Issued at 2200Z on 12 Mar 2022IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 11-2100Z to 12-2100Z Solar activity has been at moderate levels for the past 24
hours. The largest solar event of the period was a M2 event observed at
11/2232Z from Region 2964 (S28W68). There are currently 5 numbered
sunspot regions on the disk.

field has been at quiet to minor storm levels for the past 24 hours.
Solar wind speed reached a peak of 530 km/s at 12/1407Z. Total IMF
reached 10 nT at 11/2115Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached
-9 nT at 11/2134Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit
reached a peak level of 161 pfu.
