Solar Activity
24 hr Summary: Solar activity was very low. There were no sunspots on the visible disk. There were no Earth-directed CMEs observed in available imagery.
Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain at very low levels on 11-13 Feb.
Energetic Particles
24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached moderate levels and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux remained at background levels.
Forecast: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to be at normal to moderate levels through 13 Feb. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to remain at background levels.
Solar Wind
24 hr Summary: The solar wind returned to background levels this period. Total field averaged between 3-5 nT, and the Bz component was unremarkable at +/- 4 nT. Phi was predominantly positive until a late SSBC occurred causing a negative orientation.
Forecast: The solar wind environment is expected to be at background levels through 13 Feb.
