Joint USAF/NOAA Solar Geophysical Activity Report and Forecast
SDF Number 60 Issued at 2200Z on 01 Mar 2021

IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 28/2100Z to
01/2100Z: Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24
hours. There are currently 0 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low
on days one, two, and three (02 Mar, 03 Mar, 04 Mar).

IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 28/2100Z to 01/2100Z: The geomagnetic
field has been at quiet to major storm levels for the past 24 hours.
Solar wind speed reached a peak of 538 km/s at 01/0902Z. Total IMF
reached 14 nT at 01/0328Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached
-13 nT at 01/0307Z.  Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous
orbit reached a peak level of 1074 pfu.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet to minor storm levels on day one (02 Mar), quiet to
active levels on day two (03 Mar) and quiet to unsettled levels on day
three (04 Mar).
