Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 73 Issued at 2200Z on 14 Mar 2022IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z 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
14/0840Z from Region 2965 (N24W03). There are currently 5 numbered
sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low with
a chance for M-class flares on days one, two, and three (15 Mar, 16 Mar,
17 Mar).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z
The geomagnetic
field has been at quiet to major storm levels for the past 24 hours.
Solar wind speed reached a peak of 493 km/s at 13/2251Z. Total IMF
reached 24 nT at 14/0643Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached
-23 nT at 13/2214Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous
orbit reached a peak level of 186 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet to minor storm levels on day one (15 Mar) and quiet to
unsettled levels on days two and three (16 Mar, 17 Mar).
