Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity

SDF Number 307 Issued at 2200Z on 03 Nov 2021

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 02-2100Z to 03-2100Z

Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24 hours. There are currently 3 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low with a chance for a C-class flares and a slight chance for an M-class flare on day one (04 Nov) and expected to be very low with a chance for a C-class flares on days two and three (05 Nov, 06 Nov).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 02-2100Z to 03-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 773 km/s at 03/2059Z. Total IMF reached 24 nT at 03/2038Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -15 nT at 03/2033Z. Protons greater than 10 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 14 pfu at 03/2055Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 856 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at unsettled to major storm levels on day one (04 Nov), unsettled to active levels on day two (05 Nov) and quiet to active levels on day three (06 Nov).
