Solar Activity 



.24 hr Summary...

Solar activity reached low levels due to a C1 flare at 19/1942 UTC from

a region just beyond the NE limb near N18. This is likely the return of

old Region 2936 (N17, L=117).


Slight decay was observed in Regions 2948 (S27W12, Cso/beta) and 2946

(S08W42, Axx/alpha) while Region 2952 (S24E42, Axx/alpha) was stable.

New Region 2953 (N18E37, Bxo/beta) was numbered today.


Other activity included an approximate 10 degree filament eruption

centered near S35E54 beginning at 19/1623 UTC. An associated CME could

be seen off the SE limb in LASCO C2 imagery beginning at 19/1853 UTC. 

We are currently waiting on further imagery, however due to its location

and trajectory, the CME is unlikely to have a geoeffective component.


.Forecast...

Solar activity is likely to be low with a slight chance for M-class

(R1-R2, Minor-Moderate) flares on 20-22 Feb with the return of old

Region 2936.




Energetic Particle 

.24 hr Summary...

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached was at normal to moderate

levels. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux remained slightly enhanced

from background, still lingering near 1 pfu.




.Forecast...

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to be at moderate

levels on 20 Feb and increase to high levels on 21-22 Feb due to CH HSS

influence. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to continue

at or near background levels on 20-22 Feb.


Solar Wind 

.24 hr Summary...

Solar wind speed increased over the second half of the day likely due to

the onset of a negative polarity CH HSS. Solar wind speed increased from

approximately 320 km/s to near 455 km/s. Total field ranged from 5-12 nT

while the Bz component was between +5/-9 nT. Phi angle was oriented in a

negative solar sector.





.Forecast...

Solar wind parameters are expected to continue to be enhanced under

negative polarity CH HSS influence followed by a transition into a

positive polarity CH HSS around 21 Feb. Solar wind speeds in the 450-550

km/s range are expected based on recurrence data.


Geospace 

.24 hr Summary...

The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled.


.Forecast...

HSS conditions are expected to cause unsettled to active levels with G1

(Minor) storm periods likely on 20 Feb. Unsettled to active levels are

expected to continue through 22 Feb as HSS conditions persist.
