Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 266 Issued at 2200Z on 23 Sep 2021IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 22-2100Z to 23-2100Z Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24
hours. There are currently 5 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is likely to be low with a
slight chance for an M-class flare on days one, two, and three (24 Sep,
25 Sep, 26 Sep).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 22-2100Z to 23-2100Z
The geomagnetic
field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar
wind speed reached a peak of 404 km/s at 23/1621Z. Total IMF reached 9
nT at 23/2056Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -5 nT at
23/0518Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached
a peak level of 1247 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet to active levels on day one (24 Sep), quiet to unsettled
levels on day two (25 Sep) and quiet to minor storm levels on day three
(26 Sep).
