Weekly Bulletin on Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
              Highlights on 05 - 11.03.2018,
                Forecast on 12 - 19.03.2018,
           Carrington Rotation 2001 (23.62.02.2018)
            Earth out of ecliptic (-5.0 - -4.5 deg. 
             (S35 - N20 is geoeffectiveness zone)

SUNSPOT-FORMING ACTIVITY  WAS ON THE VERY LOW LEVEL -THE SUN WAS 
SPOTLESS (36 DAYS ON CURRENT YEAR).  THE ESTIMATED,  MOST LIKELY 
WEEKLY AVERAGE VALUE OF THE RELATIVE SUNSPOT NUMBER IN THE INTER-
NATIONAL SYSTEM (old) FOR THE PERIOD W = 000 (Wn = 000). 

 NEXT WEEK THE LEVEL OF SUNSPOT ACTIVITY WILL BE ON THE VERY LOW. 
LIKELY WEEKLY AVERAGE VALUE OF THE RELATIVE SUNSPOT NUMBER IN THE 
INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM (old) FOR THE NEXT WEEK IS W=010+10/-10.  

FLARE ACTIVITY WAS ON THE VERY LOW LEVEL.  4 EJECTA OF SOLAR FILA-
MENTS REGISTERED ON PERIOD. 1 CORONAL MASS EJECTIONS WERE OBSERVED 
5.03.

THE GREATER THAN 2 MeV ELECTRON FLUX AT GEOSYNCHRONOUS ORBIT NO OBSER-
VED.  
 
 NEXT WEEK THE GREATER THAN 2 MeV ELECTRON FLUX AT GEOSYNCHRONOUS 
ORBIT IS NOT EXPECTED .

GEOMAGNETIC CONDITION WAS UNSETTLED AND QUIET.   

NEXT WEEK THE GEOMAGNETIC CONDITION IS EXPECTED UNSETTLED AND QUIET. 14
-15.03 A GROWTH OF GEOMAGNETIC DISTURBANCE  IS  POSSIBLE WHEN THE EARTH 
WILL BE PASSED  BY HIGH-SPEED STREAM  FROM THE TRANS-EQVATORIAL CORONAL 
HOLE "-" POLARITY. THE PROBABILITY OF THE MAGNETIC MISSILE  IS NOT MORE 
THAN 5%.
