Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 340 Issued at 2200Z on 05 Dec 2020IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 04-2100Z to 05-2100Z 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
05/0038Z from Region 2790 (S23E12). There are currently 3 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 (06 Dec) and expected to
be very low with a slight chance for a C-class flare on days two and
three (07 Dec, 08 Dec).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 04-2100Z to 05-2100Z
The geomagnetic
field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed
reached a peak of 419 km/s at 05/1237Z. Total IMF reached 7 nT at
05/1339Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -5 nT at
05/1825Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached
a peak level of 768 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet levels on days one, two, and three (06 Dec, 07 Dec, 08
Dec).
