Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 60 Issued at 2200Z on 01 Mar 2022IA. 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 5 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 Mar,
03 Mar, 04 Mar).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 28-2100Z to 01-2100Z

field has been at quiet to unsettled levels for the past 24 hours. Solar
wind speed reached a peak of 557 km/s at 01/1506Z. Total IMF reached 6
nT at 28/2136Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -5 nT at
28/2313Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached
a peak level of 216 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet to unsettled levels on days one and three (02 Mar, 04
Mar) and quiet levels on day two (03 Mar).
