Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity

SDF Number 183 Issued at 2200Z on 02 Jul 2023

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 01-2100Z to 02-2100Z

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 02/0235Z from Region 3359 (S22E41). There are currently 7 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is likely to be moderate with a slight chance for an X-class flare on days one, two, and three (03 Jul, 04 Jul, 05 Jul).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 01-2100Z to 02-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 510 km/s at 02/0402Z. Total IMF reached 6 nT at 02/1729Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -4 nT at 02/0840Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 2201 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels on day one (03 Jul) and quiet to unsettled levels on days two and three (04 Jul, 05 Jul). Protons have a slight chance of crossing threshold on days one, two, and three (03 Jul, 04 Jul, 05 Jul).
