Weekly Bulletin on Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
                Highlights on 4 - 10.03.2019,
                Forecast on 11 - 17.03.2019,
    Carrington Rotation 2214, 2215 (12,5.03; 8,8.04.2019)
          Earth out of ecliptic (-7.4 - -7.6) deg. 
          (S30 - N20 is zone of geoeffectiveness)

 THE SUNSPOT-FORMING SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS AT THE VERY LOW LEVEL BUT
ONLY 4.03 THE SUN WAS SPOTLESS (53 SPOTLESS DAYS AT 2019). ESTIMA-
TED, MOST LIKELY WEEKLY AVERAGE VALUE OF THE RELATIVE SUNSPOT NUM-
BER IN THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM (old) FOR PERIOD W= 002+5/-2 (Wn= 
003+8/-3). ON THE VISIBLE SOLAR DISC THE SINGLE SMALL SUNSPOT GRO-
UP WENT BEHIND THE WESTERN LIMB 12.03.

NEXT WEEK THE LEVEL OF SUNSPOT ACTIVITY  WILL REMAIN  AT VERY LOW 
LEVEL AND THE SUN IS EXPECTED SPOTLESS. LIKELY WEEKLY AVERAGE VA-
LUE OF THE RELATIVE SUNSPOT NUMBER  IN  THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM 
(old) FOR THE NEXT WEEK IS W=010+10/-10. 

FLARE ACTIVITY WAS AT VERY LOW LEVEL. NO FILAMENT EJECTION AND 2 
CORONAL MASS EJECTIONS (12.03) HAVE BEEN OBSERVED.

HIGH (and after 2.03 - extremal) THE GREATER THAN 2 MeV ELECTRON FLUX 
AT GEOSYNCHRONOUS ORBIT BEGUN AT 28.02/1710 UT AND 28.02 - 12.03 HAVE 
BEEN OBSERVED.   
 
NEXT WEEK THE GREATER THAN 2 MeV ELECTRON FLUX  AT GEOSYNCHRONOUS OR-
BIT IS NOT EXPECTED.

 GEOMAGNETIC CONDITION AT MEDIUM LATITUDES UP REMAINS QUIET AND UNSET-
TLED PRIOR TO THE BEGINNING OF DAY 17.03 WHEN TO THE EARTH THE DISTUR-
BANCE FROM CMEs 12.03,  WHICH PROPOGATED ON INTERPLANETARY SPACE WITH 
A SPEED SMALLER,  THAN SURROUNDING SOLAR WIND CAME.  IN THE SAME TIME 
THE EARTH  WAS PASSED  INTO THE HIGH-SPEED STREAM  OF SOLAR WIND FROM 
TRANS-EQUATORIAL CORONAL HOLE. UNDER ACTION OF THESE FACTORS THE GEO-
MAGNETIC CONDITION BECAME ACTIVE AND THE MINOR MAGNETIC STORM (G1, Ams
=33, dur.= 12 h.) ACCORDING THE CENTER OF BOULDER DATA AND (G0, Ams=
24, dur.= 12 h.) ACCORDING IZMIRAN DATA WAS NOTED.

NEXT PERIOD THE MOST PROBABLE QUIET AND UNSETTLEDED GEOMAGNETIC CONDI-
TION IS EXPECTED.
