Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 338 Issued at 2200Z on 04 Dec 2022IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 03-2100Z to 04-2100Z Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours.
The largest solar event of the period was a C2 event observed at
04/1240Z from Region 3153 (S17E33). There are currently 5 numbered
sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low with
a slight chance for an M-class flare on days one, two, and three (05
Dec, 06 Dec, 07 Dec).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 03-2100Z to 04-2100Z
The geomagnetic
field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar
wind speed reached a peak of 544 km/s at 04/1247Z. Total IMF reached 8
nT at 04/1236Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -7 nT at
04/1336Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached
a peak level of 9706 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet to unsettled levels on day one (05 Dec), quiet levels on
day two (06 Dec) and quiet to active levels on day three (07 Dec).
