Report of Solar-Geophysical Activity 2022 May 23 2200 UTC
Prepared by the NOAA © SWPC and processed by SpaceWeatherLive.comJoint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 143 Issued at 2200Z on 23 May 2022
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 22-2100Z to 23-2100Z
Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours.
The largest solar event of the period was a C5 event observed at
23/1105Z from Region 3017 (N13W28). There are currently 8 numbered
sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low with
a chance for M-class flares on days one, two, and three (24 May, 25 May,
26 May).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 22-2100Z to 23-2100Z
The geomagnetic
field has been at quiet to unsettled levels for the past 24 hours. Solar
wind speed reached a peak of 551 km/s at 22/2318Z. Total IMF reached 5
nT at 23/0645Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -4 nT at
23/0520Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached
a peak level of 1051 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet levels on days one and two (24 May, 25 May) and quiet to
unsettled levels on day three (26 May). Protons have a slight chance of
crossing threshold on days one, two, and three (24 May, 25 May, 26 May).
