Solar Active Regions and flaring

The solar flaring activity was at low levels, with several C-class flares recorded in the past 24 hours. The largest flare was a C7.9 flare, peaking at 18:34 UTC on Feb 17, associated with NOAA AR 3584 (beta). Low flaring activity was also produced by NOAA AR 3576, by NOAA 3583 (beta) and by ARs behind the east limb (N18E87). Other regions on the disc have simple configuration of their photospheric magnetic field (alpha and beta) and did not show any significant flaring activity. The solar flaring activity is expected to be mostly at low levels with several C-class flares, and possible isolated M-class flare in the next 24 hours.

Espulsioni di massa coronale

A halo coronal mass ejection (CME) was observed in LASCO/C2 coronagraph data from 13:36 UTC on February 17th. The CME is associated to an eruption from behind the south-east limb. Based on the source location, no impact on Earth is expected. No other Earth-directed CMEs have been detected in the available coronagraph imagery over the past 24 hours.

Vento solare

Over the past 24 hours the solar wind parameters (ACE and DSCOVR) were reflecting near slow solar wind conditions. The solar wind speed decreased from values around 350 km/s to 300 km/s. The interplanetary magnetic field magnitude remained below 8 nT. The southward component of the interplanetary magnetic field fluctuated between -6 nT and 5 nT. The magnetic field orientation was predominantly in the positive sector (field directed away from the Sun). Slow solar wind conditions are expected to prevail during the next days, with a chance for a weak enhancement late on Feb 19th early on Feb 20th due to possible glancing blow arrival associated with the Feb 16th filament eruption.

Geomagnetism

Geomagnetic conditions were quiet to unsettled both globally and locally (NOAA-Kp and K-BEL: 1 to 3) during the last 24 hours. Mostly quiet geomagnetic conditions are expected to prevail during the next days. Unsettled to isolated active levels might be reached on Feb 19 – Feb 20 related to possible glancing blow ICME arrival.

Proton flux levels

Over the past 24 hours the greater than 10 MeV GOES proton flux continued to decrease and, although still slightly elevated, remained below the 10pfu threshold. The proton flux is expected to continue to decrease over the next 24 hours.

Electron fluxes at geostationary orbit

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux, as measured by the GOES-16 satellite, remained below the 1000 pfu threshold. It is expected to remain below the threshold during the next 24 hours. The 24 hour electron fluence was at normal levels and is expected to remain at these levels for the following 24 hours.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 096, based on 07 stations.
