3-day Solar-Geophysical Forecast issued Oct 05 22:00 UTC

Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to continue at very low levels with the chance for a C-class flare during the forecast period (06-08 October).

Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly quiet on days 1-2 (06-07 October). Late on day 3 (08 October), today's CME is expected to become geoeffective causing unsettled to active conditions with a chance for minor storm periods.

The Satellite Environment Plot combines satellite and ground-based data to provide an overview of the current geosynchronous satellite environment. Click on a data panel to open an updating secondary window. An updating Satellite Environment Plot window is also available.

Although these data are of interest to the satellite community, they do not include all parameters and energy ranges known to be associated with satellite anomalies.
