SIDC SOLAR BULLETIN 27 Jan 2021, 1230UT
SIDC FORECAST (valid from 1230UT, 27 Jan 2021 until 29 Jan 2021)
SOLAR FLARES  : Quiet conditions (<50% probability of C-class flares)
GEOMAGNETISM  : Quiet (A<20 and K<4)
SOLAR PROTONS : Quiet
PREDICTIONS FOR 27 Jan 2021  10CM FLUX: 076 / AP: 006
PREDICTIONS FOR 28 Jan 2021  10CM FLUX: 076 / AP: 004
PREDICTIONS FOR 29 Jan 2021  10CM FLUX: 075 / AP: 003
COMMENT: Solar activity was at low levels over the past 24 hours. There is
one numbered Active Region (AR) on the solar disk, NOAA AR 2797 (alpha),
which remained stable. NOAA AR 2799 (alpha) has now rotated over the west
solar limb. Solar activity is expected to remain at low levels, with a low
probability of a C-class flare.

No Earth directed Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) have been detected in the
available coronagraphic imagery.

The greater than 10 MeV proton flux was at nominal levels over the past 24
hours and is expected to remain so for the next 24 hours. The greater than
2 MeV electron flux was enhanced but remained mostly just below the 1000
pfu threshold during past 24 hours, until 11:40 UT when it briefly crossed
the threshold. The electron flux is expected to remain enhanced and is
likely to cross this alert threshold again during the next 24 hours. The
24h electron fluence was at nominal levels and is expected to be at nominal
to moderate levels over the next 24 hours.

Over the past 24 hours, the solar wind speed remained elevated with values
ranging between 480 and 580 km/s (DSCOVR). The total magnetic field
strength fluctuated around 5 nT. Bz had a minimum value of -5 nT. The
interplanetary magnetic field was predominantly directed towards the Sun
(phi angle in the negative sector). Over the next 24 hours, the solar wind
speed is expected to gradually decrease as the influence from the high-
speed stream that is currently influencing the Earth continues to wane.

Geomagnetic conditions were at quiet to unsettled levels (NOAA Kp and local
k Dourbes recorded values between 2-3 and 1-3, respectively.)  Geomagnetic
conditions are expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels for the next 24
hours.

TODAY'S ESTIMATED ISN  : 023, BASED ON 04 STATIONS.

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.
