:Product: 1111RSGA.txt :Issued: 2013 Nov 11 2200 UTC # Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, # Space Weather Prediction Center and the U.S. Air Force. # Joint USAF/NOAA Solar Geophysical Activity Report and Forecast SDF Number 315 Issued at 2200Z on 11 Nov 2013 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 10/2100Z to 11/2100Z: Solar activity has been at moderate levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a M2 event observed at 11/1118Z. There are currently 6 numbered sunspot regions on the disk. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is likely to be moderate with a chance for X-class flares on days one, two, and three (12 Nov, 13 Nov, 14 Nov). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 10/2100Z to 11/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed, as measured by the ACE spacecraft, reached a peak speed of 588 km/s at 10/2113Z. Total IMF reached 9 nT at 11/0330Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -9 nT at 11/0334Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 686 pfu. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to active levels on day one (12 Nov), quiet to unsettled levels on day two (13 Nov) and quiet levels on day three (14 Nov). Protons have a chance of crossing threshold on days one, two, and three (12 Nov, 13 Nov, 14 Nov). III.
