Solar Activity

.24 hr Summary...
Solar activity continued at very low levels. Region 2770 (N23E36,
Cso/beta) was mostly stable and produced only B-level enhancements. No
Earth-directed CMEs were observed.

.Forecast...
Solar activity is expected to remain at very low levels for 07-09 Aug.

Energetic Particle

.24 hr Summary...
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached high levels, with a peak
flux of 1,974 pfu at 06/1710 UTC. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux
remained at background levels.

.Forecast...
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is anticipated to reach high levels
on 07-08 Aug before returning to moderate levels on 09 Aug. The greater
than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to remain at background levels for
the forecast period.

Solar Wind

.24 hr Summary...
Solar wind parameters, as measured by the DSCOVR spacecraft, reflected
continued effects of a positive polarity CH HSS. Total magnetic field
strength was at or below 5 nT. Solar wind speeds increased from ~425
km/s to near 500 km/s through the rest of the reporting period. Phi
angle was predominantly oriented in a positive sector.

.Forecast...
Solar wind parameters are expected to wane over 07 Aug. Another weak
enhancement from a small, positive polarity CH HSS is possible on 08
Aug. A return to nominal conditions is expected for 09 Aug.

Geospace

.24 hr Summary...
The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels.

.Forecast...
The geomagnetic field is expected to continue at mostly quiet levels
over 07 Aug. Quiet to unsettled conditions may occur in response to a
weak CH HSS on 08 Aug. 09 Aug will likely be quiet as nominal solar wind
conditions return.
