Solar Activity
.24 hr Summary… Solar activity was very low. The solar disk was spotless. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available satellite imagery.
.Forecast… Solar activity is expected to remain very low on 20-22 May.
Energetic Particles
.24 hr Summary… The greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached moderate levels. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux was at background levels.
.Forecast… The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to be at normal to moderate levels on 20 May with high flux levels possible on 21-22 May in response to recurrent CH HSS influence. 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 weak enhancements. Total magnetic field strength was between 4-9 nT. The Bz component briefly reached a maximum southward deflection of -6 nT. Solar wind speeds were mostly between 350-400 km/s. Phi angle was predominantly positive.
.Forecast… Weak enhancements in the solar wind are anticipated in response to multiple recurrent, negative polarity CH HSSs over 20-22 May.
Geospace
.24 hr Summary… The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled.
.Forecast… The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels throughout the forecast period (20-22 May) due to the anticipated influence of multiple recurrent, negative polarity CH HSSs.
