Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
05 - 11 August 2019
Solar activity was very low. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed
during the period.
No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at
moderate levels on 05 Aug and at high levels from 06-11 Aug. The
largest flux of the period was 26,161 pfu observed at 07/1930 UTC.
Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet to G1 (Minor) storm levels
over the period. The period began as a positive polarity coronal
hole high speed stream (CH HSS) was becoming geoeffective. Total
field increased to 23 nT by 05/0855 UTC as the Bz component became
variable between +11 nT/-19 nT. Solar wind speed reached a maximum
of 745 km/s at 06/0750 UTC. The geomagnetic field responded with
four consecutive periods of G1 (Minor) storm levels on 05 Aug
followed by quiet to unsettled levels on 06 Aug. Two further
enhancements in solar wind speed were observed on 08 Aug and on
09-10 Aug. The first peaked around 575 km/s while the second peaked
at approximately 650 km/s. However, no significant increases in
total field were observed. Quiet conditions were observed on 07 Aug
with quiet to unsettled levels on 08-11 Aug.
Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
12 August - 07 September 2019
Solar activity is expected to continue at very low levels for the
forecast period (12 Aug-07 Sep).
No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is
expected to reach high levels on12-16 Aug and again on 02-07 Sep due
to recurrent CH HSS influence.
Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be reach unsettled levels
on 12 Aug, 16 Aug, 26-28 Aug, and 06-07 Sep due to recurrent CH HSS
activity. Unsettled to active levels are expected on 01-02 Sep with
G1 (Minor) storming likely on 01 Sep also due to recurrent CH HSS
activity.
