SDF Number 251 Issued at 2200Z on 07 Sep 2024

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 06-2100Z to 07-2100Z

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 07/0749Z from Region 3815 (S28E15). There are currently 8 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is likely to be moderate with a slight chance for an X-class flare on days one, two, and three (08 Sep, 09 Sep, 10 Sep).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 06-2100Z to 07-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to unsettled levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 432 km/s at 07/0751Z. Total IMF reached 10 nT at 07/0742Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -7 nT at 07/0246Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 295 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels on days one, two, and three (08 Sep, 09 Sep, 10 Sep). Protons have a slight chance of crossing threshold on days one, two, and three (08 Sep, 09 Sep, 10 Sep).
