Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
12 - 18 May 2008
Solar activity was very low. Isolated low-level B-class flares were
detected on 12 and 17 May.
No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels during 12 - 14 May.
Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet levels. ACE solar wind measurements indicated no significant activity during the period. Solar wind velocities ranged from 279 to 430 km/sec. IMF Bz was variable in the +7 to -5 nT range. IMF Bt ranged from 1 to 7 nT during the period.
Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
21 May - 16 June 2008
Solar activity is expected to be very low.
No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to reach high levels during 22 - 28 May and 01 - 10 June.
Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at minor storm levels on 21 May with major storm levels possible at high latitudes due to a recurrent coronal hole high-speed stream. Activity is expected to decrease to active levels on 22 May as coronal hole effects subside. Quiet to unsettled levels are expected during 23 May - 02 June. Activity is expected to decrease to quiet levels during 03 - 14 June. Activity is expected to increase to unsettled levels on 15
June as a recurrent coronal hole high-speed stream begins to affect the field. A further increase to active levels is expected on 16 June as the high-speed stream continues.
