Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 27 November - 03 December 2017
Solar activity was at very low levels. The only spotted region on the disk, Region 2689 (N13, L=108, class/area Cao/060 on 26 Nov), was quiet and stable. No Earth-directed CMEs were detected. No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at moderate flux levels throughout the period. A maximum flux of 602 pfu was observed at 27/1435 UTC. Geomagnetic field activity was at predominately quiet levels through the period. Isolated unsettled and active periods were observed on 28 and 30 Nov and again on 01-02 Dec due to waning, negative
polarity CH HSS influence. Solar wind speed averaged about 425 km/s through the period with a peak speed of 525 km/s observed midday on 30 Nov and again early on 01 Dec.
Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 04 December - 30 December 2017
Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels though out the outlook period. No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to reach high levels on 05-10, 12-17 and 19-21 Dec due to recurrent CH HSS influence. Normal to moderate levels are expected
for the remainder of the outlook period. Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at G1 (Minor) levels on 04-06 Dec and 18 Dec with G2 (Moderate) levels expected on 04-05 Dec due to recurrent CH HSS effects. Unsettled to active levels are expected on 07-08, 11-14, 17-21 and 27-28 Dec due to recurrent CH HSS effects. Mostly quiet levels are expected for the remainder of the outlook period.
