Report of Solar Geophysical Activity
Joint USAF/NOAA Solar Geophysical Activity Report and Forecast SDF Number 187 Issued at 2200Z on 06 Jul 2015 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 05/2100Z to 06/2100Z: 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 06/2040Z from Region 2381 (N14E31). There are currently 7 numbered sunspot regions on the disk. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low with a chance for M-class flares and a slight chance for an X-class flare on days one, two, and three (07 Jul, 08 Jul, 09 Jul). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 05/2100Z to 06/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed, as measured by the ACE spacecraft, reached a peak speed of 573 km/s at 05/2139Z. Total IMF reached 6 nT at 06/0018Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -5 nT at 06/0037Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 440 pfu. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels on days one, two, and three (07 Jul, 08 Jul, 09 Jul). III.
