Solar Forecast

Last updated 03 Feb 2012 23:31 UT

04 Feb 05 Feb 06 Feb Activity Low Low Low Fadeouts None expected None expected None expected 10.7cm/SSN 110/60 110/60 105/54 COMMENT: Solar activity remained very low over the last 24 hours. A southward directed CME was seen in LASCO imagery just after 7UT however STEREO imagery indicates this is a backside event. The solar wind speed remained at mildly elevated levels around 400-440 km/s. The IMF Bz component fluctuated between +/- 5nT. Solar activity is expected to remain low for the next 3 days as the few currently visible sunspot regions are small, stable and magnetically simple.

Solar Activity levels are expained in the IPS Solar Terrestrial Glossary.
