*********************************************************************** Product: Daily Forecast of Geomagnetic Activity Issued: 2019 September 08 07:12UTC Prepared by the Athens Space Weather Forecasting Center *********************************************************************** 1. Solar activity Solar activity was decreasing stable during the past 24 hours. Solar Flux (10.7 cm) measured on 07.09.2019 at 20:00 UTC was 74 sfu. The background X-Ray flux is at the class A6 level. The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels on September 7. No obviously Earth directed CMEs were observed in available LASCO imagery. The Kp index now is at unsettled levels with Kp=3. 2. Solar Wind Geomagnetic Activity Solar Wind speed from ACE: 430 km/s. Solar Wind speed from STEREO A: 290 km/s. Solar Wind speed from STEREO B: --- km/s. The southward component Bz is: 3 nT south. 3. Solar Energetic Particle Events Protons and electrons are quiet. 4. Coronal Holes A new coronal hole (CH936) on the southern hemisphere of the visible solar disk was in Earth facing position on September 3-4. 5. Geophysical Activity Forecast The geomagnetic field is expected to be at almost quiet to unsettled levels on September 8 and at quiet levels on September 9-10.
