Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
30 March - 05 April 2009
Solar activity was very low. No flares were observed. The visible disk was spotless.
No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at normal levels throughout the period.
Geomagnetic field activity was at mostly quiet levels throughout the summary period. ACE solar wind observations showed frequent minor variations in the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). IMF Bz varied in the + 5 to -5 nT range while IMF Bt ranged from 1 - 5 nT. Solar wind velocities ranged from 249 - 441 km/sec during the period.
Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
08 April - 04 May 2009
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 increase to high levels during 10-14 April. Normal flux levels are expected during the rest of the period.
Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at mostly quiet levels through 08 April. Activity is expected to increase to unsettled to active levels during 09 - 10 April due to a recurrent coronal hole high-speed stream. Activity is expected to decrease to quiet levels during 11 - 19 April. Activity is expected to increase to quiet to unsettled levels during 21 - 22 April. Activity is expected to decrease to mostly quiet levels during 23 April - 04 May.
