Solar Activity

.24 hr Summary...
Solar activity was very low. The solar disk remained spotless throughout
the reporting period. Spotless Region 2759 (N28, L=261) produced a few
B-class events, including a B2/Sf observed at 06/0548 UTC. Multiple CMEs
were observed in LASCO C2 imagery off of the East limb, however, none of
them appear to have an Earth-directed trajectory.

.Forecast...
Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels on 06-08 Apr.

Energetic Particles

.24 hr Summary...
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached moderate levels. The
greater than 10 MeV proton flux maintained background levels.

.Forecast...
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to continue at moderate
levels on 06-08 Apr. 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 a
nominal solar wind environment. Solar wind speeds slowly decreased
through the period from about 420 km/s to near 350 km/s. Total magnetic
field strength ranged between 1-3 nT with no significant periods of
southward Bz. Phi angle was variable throughout the period.

.Forecast...
Solar wind parameters are likely to be at nominal levels on 06-08 Apr.

Geospace

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

.Forecast...
The geomagnetic field is expected to continue at mostly quiet levels
over 06-08 Apr under an ambient solar wind regime.
