SIDC SOLAR BULLETIN 29 Jan 2020, 1238UT
SIDC FORECAST (valid from 1230UT, 29 Jan 2020 until 31 Jan 2020)
SOLAR FLARES  : Quiet conditions (<50% probability of C-class flares)
GEOMAGNETISM  : Quiet (A<20 and K<4)
SOLAR PROTONS : Quiet
PREDICTIONS FOR 29 Jan 2020  10CM FLUX: 074 / AP: 009
PREDICTIONS FOR 30 Jan 2020  10CM FLUX: 074 / AP: 007
PREDICTIONS FOR 31 Jan 2020  10CM FLUX: 073 / AP: 004
COMMENT: The solar activity was at very low levels with no significant
solar flares observed. Catania sunspot group 28 (NOAA Active Region 2757,
N04W33) remained inactive and has decayed to Hale class alpha in the past
24 hours. The solar activity is expected to remain at very low levels in
the next 24 hours. Quiet flaring conditions are expected for the next
24-hour period with no significant flares expected from the decaying
sunspot region NOAA 2757 in the north-western quadrant, nor from the plague
region in the eastern hemisphere.

No Earth-directed coronal mass ejections (CMEs) were observed in the
available coronagraph imagery.
The greater than 10 MeV solar proton flux was at nominal levels and is
expected to remain so.

The solar wind speed over the past 24 hours has increased from 300 to
around 500 km/s (ACE) probably due to the influence of the patchy negative
polarity coronal hole observed on Jan 25. The total interplanetary magnetic
field reached values of 8 nT. The Bz component reached a minimum of -8 nT
between 21 UTC on Jan 28th and 02 UTC on Jan 29th. The polarity of the
interplanetary magnetic field was predominantly in the negative sector with
short positive intervals.

The geomagnetic activity over the past 24 hours has been quiet until 21 UTC
when several unsettled periods occurred, due to the arrival of the high
speed stream from the negative polarity coronal hole, when both local K
(Dourbes) and NOAA Kp indexes reached a value of 3. Throughout the next 24
hours the geomagnetic conditions are expected to remain predominantly quiet
with isolated unsettled periods due to the remaining influence of the
observed high speed stream. The CME observed by STEREO-A on Jan 25th with
estimated arrival on Jan 30th might contribute to the periods with
unsettled geomagnetic conditions predicted for that day.

Details

The SIDC ursigram starts with the code SIDC URSIGRAM YMMDD, where
Y is the last digit of the year number,
MM is the number of the month,
DD is the day of the month.

A forecast is given on:
the global flare probability,
geomagnetic disturbances,
solar proton events.
