Solar activity report
Report of Solar-Geophysical Activity 2024 Oct 11 2200 UTC
Prepared by the NOAA © SWPC and processed by SpaceWeatherLive.comJoint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 285 Issued at 2200Z on 11 Oct 2024
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z
Solar activity has been at moderate levels for the past 24
hours. The largest solar event of the period was a M3 event observed at
10/2230Z from Region 3842 (S13W0*). There are currently 6 numbered
sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is likely to be moderate
with a chance for X-class flares on days one, two, and three (12 Oct, 13
Oct, 14 Oct).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z
The geomagnetic
field has been at unsettled to severe storm levels for the past 24
hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 814 km/s at 11/1149Z. Total
IMF reached 45 nT at 10/2202Z. The maximum southward component of Bz
reached -45 nT at 10/2200Z. Protons greater than 10 MeV at
geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 93 pfu at 10/2125Z.
Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak
level of 485 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at unsettled to minor storm levels on day one (12 Oct) and quiet
to active levels on days two and three (13 Oct, 14 Oct). Protons have a
slight chance of crossing threshold on days one, two, and three (12 Oct,
13 Oct, 14 Oct).
