Report of Solar Geophysical Activity


Joint USAF/NOAA Solar Geophysical Activity Report and Forecast
SDF Number 163 Issued at 2200Z on 12 Jun 2014

IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 11/2100Z to
12/2100Z: Solar activity has been at high levels for the past 24 hours.
The largest solar event of the period was a M2 event observed at
12/1021Z from Region 2087 (S18E43). There are currently 10 numbered
sunspot regions on the disk.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is likely to be moderate
with a chance for X-class flares on days one, two, and three (13 Jun, 14
Jun, 15 Jun).

IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 11/2100Z to 12/2100Z: 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 570 km/s at
12/0203Z. Total IMF reached 5 nT at 12/2021Z. The maximum southward
component of Bz reached -2 nT at 12/0119Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV
at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 148 pfu.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet to active levels on days one and two (13 Jun, 14 Jun) and
quiet to unsettled levels on day three (15 Jun). Protons have a chance
of crossing threshold on days one, two, and three (13 Jun, 14 Jun, 15
Jun).
