Solar activity

24 h Summary

Solar activity was very low. The visible disk was spotless. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.

Forecast

Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels on 14-16 Dec.

Energetic Particles

24 h Summary

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was at normal levels and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux was at background levels.

Forecast

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to be at normal to moderate levels on 14-16 Dec. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to persist at background levels throughout the period.

Solar Wind

24 h Summary

Solar wind parameters, as measured by the ACE spacecraft, reflected nominal conditions. Solar wind speeds averaged near 375 km/s. Total field was between 1-6 nT. Phi angle was variable.

Forecast

Solar wind parameters are expected to remain at nominal levels over 14-16 Dec.

Geospace

24 h Summary

The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels.

Forecast

The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet 14-16 Dec.
