Report of Solar Geophysical Activity

Joint USAF/NOAA Solar Geophysical Activity Report and Forecast
SDF Number 307 Issued at 2200Z on 03 Nov 2014

IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 02/2100Z to
03/2100Z: 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
03/1153Z from the northeast limb. There are currently 6 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 (04 Nov, 05 Nov,
06 Nov).

IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 02/2100Z to 03/2100Z: The geomagnetic
field has been at quiet to unsettled levels for the past 24 hours. Solar
wind speed, as measured by the ACE spacecraft, reached 515 km/s at
02/2137Z. Total IMF reached 6 nT at 02/2142Z. The maximum southward
component of Bz reached -3 nT at 03/0138Z. Protons greater than 10 MeV
at geosynchronous orbit briefly reached a peak level of 10 pfu at
02/2110Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a
peak level of 386 pfu.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet to unsettled levels on days one and three (04 Nov, 06
Nov) and quiet to active levels on day two (05 Nov). Protons greater
than 10 Mev have a slight chance of crossing threshold on day one (04
Nov) and have a slight chance of crossing threshold on day two (05 Nov).
