SDF Number 316 Issued at 2200Z on 12 Nov 2021

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 11/2100Z to 12/2100Z: 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 (13 Nov, 14 Nov, 15 Nov).

IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 11/2100Z to 12/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 451 km/s at 11/2202Z. Total IMF reached 7 nT at 12/0345Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -5 nT at 12/0023Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 895 pfu.
