3-day Solar-Geophysical Forecast issued Oct 13 22:00 UTC
Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low with a chance for M-class flares and a slight chance for X-class flares during the forecast period (14-16 October).
Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to continue at unsettled to active levels with a chance for isolated minor storm periods on day 1 (14 October). Mostly unsettled conditions are expected on day 2 (15 October) due to persistence. By day 3 (16 October), quiet to unsettled conditions are expected as coronal hole effects wane. On days 2-3, there is a slight chance for a greater than 10 MeV proton event at geosynchronous orbit as Region 1589 rotates into a more geoeffective position.

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.
