field has been at unsettled to major storm levels for the past 24 hours.
Solar wind speed reached a peak of 696 km/s at 15/2156Z. Total IMF
reached 20 nT at 15/2112Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached
-13 nT at 16/0231Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous
orbit reached a peak level of 417 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet to active levels on days one and three (17 Jun, 19 Jun)
and quiet to unsettled levels on day two (18 Jun).
