Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
27 April - 03 May 2020
Solar activity was very low throughout the period. Four new-cycle
sunspot groups were numbered this period, the most prominent of
which was Region 2760 (S07, L=307, class/area=Cro/20 on 30 Apr). No
significant solar flare activity was observed.
A filament eruption from the northern hemisphere midday on 27 Apr
resulted in a very slow-moving CME. Modeling of the event suggested
the CME may arrive at Earth on 02-03 May. A solar wind disturbance
commensurate with the passage of a weak, slow-moving transient was
detected on 03 May, however, the source of this disturbance is
inconclusive at the time of this writing.
No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at
normal to moderate levels throughout the period.
Geomagnetic field activity was generally quiet and quiet to
unsettled this period under a largely nominal solar wind
environment. Isolated unsettled activity late on 03 May is thought
to be associated with the passage of the 27 Apr CME.
Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
04 May - 30 May 2020
Solar activity is expected to be very quiet throughout the outlook
period.
No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is
expected to be at normal to moderate levels throughout the outlook
period.
Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be generally quiet or
quiet-to-unsettled throughout the outlook period.
