SDF Number 316 Issued at 2200Z on 12 Nov 2023

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 11-2100Z to 12-2100Z

Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a C8 event observed at 12/0441Z from Region 3484 (S15W60). There are currently 5 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 and two (13 Nov, 14 Nov) and expected to be low with a slight chance for an M-class flare on day three (15 Nov).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 11-2100Z to 12-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 585 km/s at 12/0737Z. Total IMF reached 10 nT at 12/2030Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -6 nT at 12/0717Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 3687 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to active levels on day one (13 Nov) and quiet to unsettled levels on days two and three (14 Nov, 15 Nov).
