Solar Activity
.24 hr Summary… Solar activity was very low. Region 2759 (N27W01, Axx/alpha) decayed to near plage over the past 24 hours. It produced multiple B-class events, the highest of which was a B4 flare at 04/0052 UTC. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available satellite imagery.
.Forecast… Solar activity is expected to remain at very low levels with a slight chance for C-class flaring on 05-07 Apr.
Energetic Particles
.24 hr Summary… The greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached moderate levels. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux maintained background levels.
.Forecast… The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to continue at moderate levels on 05-07 Apr. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to continue at background levels.
Solar Wind
.24 hr Summary… Solar wind parameters, as measured by the DSCOVR spacecraft, reflected mostly nominal conditions. Solar wind speed fluctuated between ~415-460 km/s. Total magnetic field strength was at or below 5 nT. Phi angle was primarily oriented in a negative solar sector.
.Forecast… Solar wind parameters are likely to become slightly elevated on 05 Apr as a weak enhancement from a positive polarity CH HSS. Nominal conditions are expected to return over 06-07 Apr.
Geospace
.24 hr Summary… The geomagnetic field was quiet.
.Forecast… Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected on 05 Apr with generally quiet conditions expected on 06-07 Apr.

.Forecast… The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to reach high levels on 04 Apr and moderate levels on Apr 05-06. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to continue at background levels.
Solar Wind
.24 hr Summary… Solar wind parameters, as measured by the DSCOVR spacecraft, reflected mostly nominal conditions. Total magnetic field strength was at 5-6 nT through most of the day. The Bz component briefly reached as far south as -5 nT. Solar wind speeds fluctuated between ~380-450 km/s. Phi angle was primarily oriented in the negative sector.
.Forecast… The solar wind field is expected to be near nominal levels on 04 and 06 Apr. A weak enhancement from a positive polarity CH HSS is likely on 05 Apr.
