Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity

SDF Number 327 Issued at 2200Z on 22 Nov 2024

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 21-2100Z to 22-2100Z

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 22/1546Z from Region 3905 (S10E66). There are currently 11 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 (23 Nov, 24 Nov, 25 Nov).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 21-2100Z to 22-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 438 km/s at 22/1010Z. Total IMF reached 10 nT at 22/0821Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -8 nT at 22/2051Z. Protons greater than 10 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 125 pfu at 22/0355Z. Protons greater than 100 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 5 pfu at 21/2130Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 180 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels on days one, two, and three (23 Nov, 24 Nov, 25 Nov). Protons greater than 10 Mev have a slight chance of crossing threshold on day one (23 Nov).
