Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity

SDF Number 332 Issued at 2200Z on 28 Nov 2023

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 27-2100Z to 28-2100Z

Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a C5 event observed at 27/2340Z from Region 3503 (N15E31). There are currently 10 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 (29 Nov, 30 Nov, 01 Dec).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 27-2100Z to 28-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 480 km/s at 28/1809Z. Total IMF reached 5 nT at 27/2105Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -4 nT at 27/2305Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 180 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to active levels on day one (29 Nov), unsettled to minor storm levels on day two (30 Nov) and unsettled to major storm levels on day three (01 Dec). Protons have a slight chance of crossing threshold on days one, two, and three (29 Nov, 30 Nov, 01 Dec).
