Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 86 Issued at 2200Z on 27 Mar 2022IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 26-2100Z to 27-2100Z Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours.
The largest solar event of the period was a C2 event observed at
27/1109Z from Region 2978 (S15E75). 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 (28 Mar,
29 Mar, 30 Mar).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 26-2100Z to 27-2100Z
The geomagnetic
field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar
wind speed reached a peak of 553 km/s at 27/1028Z. Total IMF reached 14
nT at 27/0641Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -11 nT at
27/0723Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached
a peak level of 117 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet to minor storm levels on day one (28 Mar), quiet to
unsettled levels on day two (29 Mar) and quiet levels on day three (30
Mar).
