SDF Number 98 Issued at 2200Z on 07 Apr 2024

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 06-2100Z to 07-2100Z

Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a C1 event observed at 07/1926Z from Region 3632 (N26E16). There are currently 6 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 day one (08 Apr) and expected to be very low with a chance for a C-class flares and a slight chance for an M-class flare on days two and three (09 Apr, 10 Apr).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 06-2100Z to 07-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 464 km/s at 06/2227Z. Total IMF reached 6 nT at 06/2212Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -4 nT at 07/0152Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 424 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels on day one (08 Apr) and quiet to active levels on days two and three (09 Apr, 10 Apr).
