Bulletin

The solar activity was quiet over the past 24 hours. The sunspot (NOAA-AR 2770) only produced a few B-class flares and the X-ray flux remained below C-class level. The solar activity is expected to remain at low levels with a very small chance of occurring a C-class flare from the Region NOAA-AR 2770.

No Earth directed Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) were observed in the available coronagraphic imagery in the last 24 hours.

The greater than 10 MeV proton flux was at nominal levels over the past 24 hours and is expected to stay at nominal levels for the next 24 hours. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached high levels over the past 24 hours and is expected to remain at high levels over the next 24 hours.

The Earth continued to be under the influence of the slow solar wind streams. The solar wind parameters (DSCOVR) show nominal values with the solar wind speed around 300-400 km/s, the total interplanetary magnetic field below 4 nT, and the Bz magnetic field components fluctuating between -3.5 nT and +3.5 nT. The solar wind conditions are expected to remain mostly nominal for the next days. The solar wind associated with the relatively small equatorial coronal hole (positive polarity, facing Earth on August 10) may slightly enhance the solar wind parameters near Earth in about 1-2 days from now.

Geomagnetic conditions were quiet, and quiet conditions are expected for the next following day.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 012, based on 25 stations.
