SIDC SOLAR BULLETIN 19 Sep 2015, 1230UT
SIDC FORECAST (valid from 1230UT, 19 Sep 2015 until 21 Sep 2015)
SOLAR FLARES  : C-class flares expected, (probability >=50%)
GEOMAGNETISM  : Minor storm expected (A>=30 or K=5)
SOLAR PROTONS : Quiet
PREDICTIONS FOR 19 Sep 2015  10CM FLUX: 104 / AP: 026
PREDICTIONS FOR 20 Sep 2015  10CM FLUX: 104 / AP: 026
PREDICTIONS FOR 21 Sep 2015  10CM FLUX: 102 / AP: 018
COMMENT: NOAA 2415 has lost its delta, but remains magnetically complex. No
(zero) C-class flares were observed during the period. The coronal mass
ejection (CME) associated to the long duration event on 18 September (C2.6
flare peaking at 06:31UT) was directed to the south of the ecliptic. A
glancing blow can not be excluded and could arrive late on 20 or on 21
September.

C-class flares are expected, with a small chance on an M-class flare from
NOAA 2415.

Solar wind speed varied mostly between 410 and 450 km/s. Around 03:00UT, a
gradual change in solar wind temperature and Bz was observed, accompanied
by a mild increase in density and, around 05:00UT, a change in the
direction of the interplanetary magnetic field from away to towards the
Sun. Bz varied between -8 and +7 nT, being predominantly negative between
05:00 and 09:00UT. Quiet to active geomagnetic conditions were observed in
Dourbes, while the Kp-index reached minor storming during the 06-09UT
interval. Further data are awaited to pinpoint the source of the observed
disturbance.

Quiet to active geomagnetic conditions are expected. Minor geomagnetic
storming is still possible on 19 or on 20 September in response to the
anticipated arrival of the solar wind stream of the positive
transequatorial coronal hole. Late on 20 or on 21 September, the glancing
blow of the 18 September CME may arrive at Earth, but currently only active
geomagnetic conditions are expected.

TODAY'S ESTIMATED ISN  : 061, BASED ON 13 STATIONS.

CCMC Rules of the Road: CCMC requests that users notify the CCMC, CME model/technique developers and submitting forecasters/researchers before performing event and validation studies with data from the CME Arrival Time Scoreboard. It is recommended that such studies be performed with the knowledge and collaboration of developers and submitting forecasters/researchers.

If you are looking for the official U.S. Government forecast for space weather, please go to NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (https://swpc.noaa.gov). This "Experimental Research Information" consists of preliminary NASA research products and should be interpreted and used accordingly.
