Report of Solar-Geophysical Activity 2022 Jan 30 2200 UTC
Prepared by the NOAA © SWPC and processed by SpaceWeatherLive.comJoint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 30 Issued at 2200Z on 30 Jan 2022
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 29-2100Z to 30-2100Z
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
29/2332Z from Region 2936 (N17E05). There are currently 4 numbered
sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low with
a chance for M-class flares and a slight chance for an X-class flare on
days one, two, and three (31 Jan, 01 Feb, 02 Feb).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 29-2100Z to 30-2100Z
The geomagnetic
field has been at quiet to unsettled levels for the past 24 hours. Solar
wind speed reached a peak of 560 km/s at 30/0159Z. Total IMF reached 6
nT at 30/1458Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -5 nT at
30/2053Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached
a peak level of 859 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet levels on day one (31 Jan), quiet to minor storm levels
on day two (01 Feb) and unsettled to major storm levels on day three (02
Feb). Protons have a slight chance of crossing threshold on days one,
two, and three (31 Jan, 01 Feb, 02 Feb).
