Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 340 Issued at 2200Z on 06 Dec 2021IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 05-2100Z to 06-2100Z Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours.
The largest solar event of the period was a C1 event observed at
06/0622Z from Region 2902 (N13W89). There are currently 1 numbered
sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low
with a slight chance for a C-class flare on day one (07 Dec) and
expected to be very low on days two and three (08 Dec, 09 Dec).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 05-2100Z to 06-2100Z
The geomagnetic
field has been at quiet to unsettled levels for the past 24 hours. Solar
wind speed reached a peak of 534 km/s at 05/2324Z. Total IMF reached 7
nT at 06/1552Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -5 nT at

The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet to unsettled levels on day one (07 Dec) and quiet levels
on days two and three (08 Dec, 09 Dec).
