*********************************************************************** Product: Daily Forecast of Geomagnetic Activity Issued: 2019 September 15 06:27UTC 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 14.09.2019 at 20:00 UTC was 69 sfu. The background X-Ray flux is at the class A6 level. The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels on September 14. 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: 440 km/s. Solar Wind speed from STEREO A: 320 km/s. Solar Wind speed from STEREO B: --- km/s. The southward component Bz is: 5 nT south. 3. Solar Energetic Particle Events Protons and electrons are quiet. 4. Coronal Holes A southern hemishere coronal hole was in Earth facing position on September 13-14. 5. Geophysical Activity Forecast The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels on September 15-16 and at quiet levels on September 17.
