Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity

SDF Number 319 Issued at 2200Z on 15 Nov 2022

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 14-2100Z to 15-2100Z

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 15/0251Z from Region 3140 (N25W76). 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 and two (16 Nov, 17 Nov) and likely to be low with a slight chance for an M-class flare on day three (18 Nov).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 14-2100Z to 15-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 475 km/s at 15/0555Z. Total IMF reached 5 nT at 14/2119Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -3 nT at 15/0414Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 414 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels on days one and three (16 Nov, 18 Nov) and quiet levels on day two (17 Nov). Protons greater than 10 Mev have a slight chance of crossing threshold on days one and two (16 Nov, 17 Nov).
