Bulletin

There were no sunspot regions on the visible solar disk. Solar activity was at very low levels and is expected to remain so.

The greater than 10 MeV proton flux and the greater than 2 MeV electron flux were at nominal values and are expected to remain so.

No earth-directed coronal mass ejections (CMEs) were observed in available coronagraphic imagery.

Solar wind speed undulated between 290 and 350 km/s (DSCOVR). Bz varied between -6 and +3 nT. The direction of the interplanetary magnetic field (phi angle) was in a mostly sunward orientation (negative sector).

Geomagnetic activity was at quiet levels. Geomagnetic conditions are expected to be quiet to unsettled, with an active interval possible on 20 April in response to the expected wind stream associated with the extension of the negative polarity southern polar coronal hole.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 000, based on 19 stations.
