| During the last week, solar activity was moderate on 2 Sep and low for the rest of the time. Ten active sunspot regions (AR4513, AR4515, AR4517-AR4524) were on the visible disk with 1 M-class flare produced. No solar proton event occurred. The F10.7 index fluctuated between 101 sfu and 116 sfu. Due to the effects of a coronal hole high speed stream and the CME from 25 Aug, the solar wind speed increased to a peak of 470 km/s and the geomagnetic field reached active levels for 27 hours on 28-30 Aug, quiet to unsettled levels for the rest of the time. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached minor storm levels on 1-2 Sep. |
