Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity

SDF Number 244 Issued at 2200Z on 01 Sep 2023

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 31-2100Z to 01-2100Z

Solar activity has been at moderate levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a M1 event observed at 01/0351Z from Region 3413 (N10W74). 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 day one (02 Sep) and likely to be low with a slight chance for an M-class flare on days two and three (03 Sep, 04 Sep).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 31-2100Z to 01-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to unsettled levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 559 km/s at 01/2024Z. Total IMF reached 11 nT at 31/2154Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -9 nT at 01/1256Z. Protons greater than 10 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 25 pfu at 01/0610Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 111 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to active levels on day one (02 Sep), active to minor storm levels on day two (03 Sep) and quiet to unsettled levels on day three (04 Sep). Protons greater than 10 Mev are expected to cross threshold on day one (02 Sep) and have a chance of crossing threshold on day two (03 Sep).
