SIDC SOLAR BULLETIN 03 Feb 2023, 1230UT
SIDC FORECAST (valid from 1230UT, 03 Feb 2023 until 05 Feb 2023)
SOLAR FLARES  : C-class flares expected, (probability >=50%)
GEOMAGNETISM  : Quiet (A<20 and K<4)
SOLAR PROTONS : Quiet
PREDICTIONS FOR 03 Feb 2023  10CM FLUX: 139 / AP: 007
PREDICTIONS FOR 04 Feb 2023  10CM FLUX: 137 / AP: 007
PREDICTIONS FOR 05 Feb 2023  10CM FLUX: 137 / AP: 007
COMMENT: There are four active regions visible on the solar disc, all of
them with simple alpha or beta magnetic field configuration. Solar flaring
activity was at low levels over the past 24 hours, with several C-class
flares detected. The strongest one was a C3.9 flare from a region behind
the west limb, peaking at 02:49 UTC. Further C class flaring is expected.

No Earth-directed coronal mass ejections (CMEs) were detected in the
available coronagraph imagery over the past 24 hours.  A partial halo CME
was first seen at 00:48 UTC by LASCO C2, erupting towards the NE. This
event is backsided and will not affect the Earth.

The greater than 10 MeV proton flux was at nominal levels in the past 24
hours and is expected to remain so in the next 24 hours. The greater than 2
MeV electron flux has been below the 1000 pfu threshold and is expected to
remain so. The 24h electron fluence was at normal levels and is expected to
remain so over the next 24 hours.

A positive polarity equatorial coronal hole is crossing central meridian,
its associated high speed stream will arrive to the Earth in about 3 days.

The solar wind speed at L1 is at 350 km/s  with an interplanetary magnetic
field around 8 nT, with mostly negative polarity (oriented towards the
Sun). Similar conditions can be expected for the next 24 hours.

Geomagnetic conditions were quiet locally and unsettled at planetary levels
(K_Dourbes up to 2 and Kp up to  3). Similar conditions expected for the
next 24 hours.

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.
