Solar Activity
Solar activity has been at low levels through the period. The largest flare was a C6.1 at 03/0544 UTC from Region 3906 (S16W70, Eko/beta-gamma). Region 3912 (S06E18, Eai/beta) produced some C-class activity as well. All other regions have been quiet and stable. There were two new numbered regions that emerged; Region 3914 (N07W20, Axx/alpha) and Region 3915 (N13E60, Bxo/beta). There have been no Earth-directed CMEs observed in coronagraph imagery.
Solar Wind
Solar wind parameters were at nominal levels until ~02/2000 UTC when the possible arrival of a CME from 27 Nov enhanced parameters. Total magnetic field increased to 14 nT and The Bz component reached deflections of -13 nT. Solar wind speeds increased from ~375 to ~450 km/s. The phi angle has remained in the positive orientation (away from the Sun).
Energetic Particle
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was at normal to moderate levels. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux remained at background levels.
