Report of Solar Geophysical ActivityJoint USAF/NOAA Solar Geophysical Activity Report and Forecast SDF Number 212 Issued at 2200Z on 31 Jul 2014 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 30/2100Z to 31/2100Z: Solar activity has been at moderate levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a M2 event observed at 31/1114Z from Region 2130 (S07E42). There are currently 8 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, two, and three (01 Aug, 02 Aug, 03 Aug). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 30/2100Z to 31/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed, as measured by the ACE spacecraft, reached a peak speed of 348 km/s at 31/1006Z. Total IMF reached 5 nT at 31/2044Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -4 nT at 31/2035Z. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels on day one (01 Aug) and quiet to active levels on days two and three (02 Aug, 03 Aug). III.
