Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 10 - 16 August 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 during the period.
Geomagnetic field activity was at predominantly quiet levels during the period. Isolated periods of unsettled to active levels were observed at high latitudes on 12-13 August. Solar wind velocities at ACE ranged from 398 to 264 km/s during the period. Interplanetary magnetic field activity showed intermittent periods of southward Bz (maximum of -5 nT at 12/1151 UTC).
Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
19 August - 14 September 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 be at high levels during 22-23 August. Normal to moderate flux levels are expected during the rest of the period.
Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at unsettled to active levels, with a slight chance for minor storm levels on 19 August due to a recurrent coronal hole high-speed stream (CH HSS). Quiet to unsettled levels are expected on 20 August as the CH effects continue. Activity is expected to decrease to predominantly quiet levels during 21 August - 14 September, with isolated unsettled periods on 02 September and 09 - 10 September due to recurrent effects.
