Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 23 - 29 November 2015

Solar activity was at very low levels with the exception of 23 and
25 November. Region 2454 (N14, L=121, class/area Dai/150 on 23 Nov)
produced a few C-class events, the largest a C8/1f at 23/0228 UTC.
Between 24/1130-1530 UTC, SDO/AIA 193 and 304 imagery observed a 20
degree long eruption, centered near S10W00, along a NW to SE
oriented filament channel. No Earth-directed coronal mass ejections
were observed during the period.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached
moderate levels on 23-27 November but decreased to normal levels on
28-29 November.

Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet levels from 23-26 November.
Mostly quiet levels were observed with a few isolated unsettled
periods on 27-29 November and a single active period observed during
the 29/2100-2400 UTC synoptic period due to prolonged negative Bz
and slightly elevated solar wind speed.

FORECAST OF SOLAR AND GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY 30 NOV - 26 DEC 2015

Solar activity is expected to be at very low to low levels
throughout the forecast period.

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is
expected to be normal to moderate levels for the majority of the
period with the exception of 03-05 December, 08-09 December and
11-15 December following several recurrent coronal hole high speed
streams (CH HSS).

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be unsettled to active on
30 November-02 December with minor storm periods expected on 01
December due to a recurrent positive polarity CH HSS. Quiet to
unsettled levels are expected from 03-05 December. Isolated active
periods are likely again on 06-07 December and 10 December as two
subsequent positive polarity CH HSSs become geoeffective
respectively. Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected to dominate
the remainder of the forecast period.
