The southward component of Bz is: 1 nT south.

3. Solar Energetic Particle Events
Protons and electrons are quiet.

4. Coronal Holes
A southern hemisphere coronal hole (CH714) rotated across the central meridian on February 8.

5. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels on Feb. 10-12.
