SDF Number 223 Issued at 2200Z on 11 Aug 2022

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z

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 11/0658Z from Region 3077 (S17W37). There are currently 5 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 days one, two, and three (12 Aug, 13 Aug, 14 Aug).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 589 km/s at 11/0504Z. Total IMF reached 9 nT at 11/2052Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -7 nT at 11/1725Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 14595 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to active levels on day one (12 Aug) and quiet levels on days two and three (13 Aug, 14 Aug).
