Solar Forecast

Last updated 08 Feb 2012 23:31 UT

09 Feb 10 Feb 11 Feb Activity Low Low Low Fadeouts None expected None expected None expected 10.7cm/SSN 100/48 100/48 100/48 COMMENT: Solar activity was low over the last 24 hours. A newly emerged region (N11W61) produced a C2 flare at 08/2217. Solar activity is expected to be low for the next 3 days. The solar wind speed has gradually declined from ~500km/s to ~420km/s over the last 24 hours. The IMF Bz has been mostly southward between 0 to -4nT. The solar wind speed is expected to rise late on 9-Feb due to the onset of coronal hole effects.

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