SDF Number 152 Issued at 2200Z on 01 Jun 2015

 

IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 31/2100Z to 01/2100Z: Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24 hours. There are currently 3 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.

 

IB.  Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low with a chance for a C-class flares on days one, two, and three (02 Jun, 03 Jun, 04 Jun).

 

IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 31/2100Z to 01/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to unsettled levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed, as measured by the ACE spacecraft, reached a peak speed of 398 km/s at 31/2153Z. Total IMF reached 8 nT at 31/2240Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -6 nT at 31/2231Z.
