Solar Activity
.24 hr Summary...
Solar activity remained at low levels with numerous C-class flares
observed from Regions 4456 (N18W67, Esi/beta), 4464 (S12E17, Dsi/beta)
and 4465(N09E63, Dsi/beta-gamma). Most of the activity originated from
Region 4465 with the largest a C4.5/Sf observed at 09/0423 UTC. There
are seven active regions on disk, most of them remained stable or showed
some decay in area. Region 4464 indicated some minor enhancements among
its intermediate spots. Departed Region 4455 (N15, L=092) also produced
some weak C-class activity.
No new Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph
imagery.
.Forecast...
Isolated M-class flares are likely, with a slight chance for X-class
flares, through 11 June primarily due to the flare potential exhibited
by Regions 4456, 4462 (N16W14, Dsi/beta), 4464 and 4465.
Energetic Particle
.24 hr Summary...
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached
high levels with a peak flux of 1,310 pfu at 08/1340 UTC. The greater
than 10 MeV proton flux remained at background levels during the period.
.Forecast...
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux levels at geosynchronous orbit are
likely to continue reaching high levels through 10 June, returning to
moderate-low levels on 11 June. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is
expected to remain at background levels through 11 June.
Solar Wind
.24 hr Summary...
Solar wind parameters suggested a slow decline in the wind environment.
Solar wind speeds decreased from about 450 km/s to near 400 km/s, while
the total Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) strength showed a slight
oscillation around 5nT. At about 09/0954 UTC, The IMF increased sharply
to 10 nT. The Bz component oscillated between -5 nT to +3 nT, and
further reached S to -5 nT. The Phi angle remained mostly in the
positive sector during the day.
.Forecast...
Analysis of the solar wind parameters, along with the suprathermal ions
and electrons data from instruments at L1, suggested that the 06 June
CME glancing passage near Earth already occurred on 08 June, reducing
our confidence in further impacts on the next days. Therefore,
background solar wind is expected until 11 June, when a -CH HSS is
anticipated to become geoeffective.
Geospace
.24 hr Summary...
Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet levels during the past 24 hrs.
.Forecast...
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to active levels on 09
June, quiet to unsettled levels on 10 Jun, and active levels on 11 June
(due to anticipated -CH HSS effects).
