Solar Activity
.24 hr Summary...
Solar activity was low. Only minor changes were observed among the five
active regions on the visible disk. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed
in available coronagraph imagery.
.Forecast...
Solar activity is expected to be at low levels, with a slight chance for
M-class (R1-R2/Minor-Moderate) flares through 10 Mar.
Energetic Particle
.24 hr Summary...
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was at normal to moderate levels.
The greater than 10 MeV proton flux was at background levels.
.Forecast...
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to reach high levels on
08-10 Mar. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to continue
at background levels through 10 Mar.
Solar Wind
.24 hr Summary...
The solar wind environment was enhanced this period under continued
negative polarity CH HSS influences. Total magnetic field strength
reached 12 nT, and the Bz component was observed as far south as -8 nT.
Solar wind speeds increased from 400 km/s to 700 km/s. The phi angle was
predominantly negative.
.Forecast...
Enhanced solar wind conditions are expected to persist through 10 Mar
due to negative polarity CH HSS influences. Transient influences are
possible on 10 Mar as a CME from 06 Mar passes in close proximity.
Geospace
.24 hr Summary...
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to active levels.
.Forecast...
The geomagnetic field is expected to reach active levels on 08-09 Mar,
and quiet to unsettled levels on 10 Mar, under negative polarity CH HSS
influences. Transient influences are possible on 10 Mar as a CME from 06
Mar passes in close proximity.
