If it appears greatest of several (in their 14th solar cycle was 4 and the maxi- mum fell on the second), it and there will be a maximum 24 cycles of solar activity. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weekly Bulletin on Solar and Geomagnetic Activity Highlights on 27.05 - 01.06.2013, Forecast on 02 - 10.06.2013, Carrington Rotations 2137 (15,02.05.2013) SUNSPOT-FORMING ACTIVITY OF THE SUN REMAINED ON THE AVERAGE LEVEL. WEEKLY, THE AVERAGE OF SUNSPOT NUMBER IN THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM FOR THE PERIOD WAS MADE W=043+14/-1. ON THE VISIBLE SOLAR DISK CON- STANTLY THERE WERE 6 - 4 SMALL SUNSPOTS GROUPS. NEXT WEEK THE LEVEL OF SUNSPOT ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE THE AVERAGE AND THE LOW LEVEL. THE CALCULATED MOST LIKELY WEEKLY AVERAGE VALUE OF SUNSPOT NUMBER IN THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM FOR THE NEXT WEEK IS EXPEC- TED W = 050+20/-10. FLARE ACTIVITY WAS AT THE AVEREGE LEVEL 31 MAY, THE LOW - 30.05 AND THE VERY LOW - ON OTHER DAYS. THERE WERE 2 EJECTION OF SOLAR FILAMENTS OB- SERVED IN THIS PERIOD. BY SOHO AND STEREO CORONOGRAPHS DATA THERE WERE OBSERVED 38 CME FROM WHICH ONE WAS THE TYPE OF "HALO", AND 2 WERE THE TYPE OF "PARTIAL GALO II". -------------------------------------------------------------------- FLARES to tm te c/p local.

THE GREATER THAN 2 MeV ELECTRON FLUX AT GEOSTATIONARY ORBIT VERY HIGH LEVEL IS EXPECTED 02-08.06 . GEOMAGNETIC CONDITION CHANGED FROM UNSETTLED TO MAGNETIC STORM. 27 MAY. THE MINOR MAGNETIC STORM REGISTERED (G0; Ams = 27; dur = 12 h) ACCORDING IZMIRAN DATA. ACCORDING TO THE CENTER IN BOULDER DATA GEOMAGNETIC CONDI- TION DURING THOSE HOURS WAS ACTIVE. 31 MAY, AT THE END OF THE DAY, AFTER COMING TO EARTH INTERPLANETARY SHOCK WAVE (SI 31/1618), WAS REGISTERED THE MAGNETIC STORM, WHICH, ACCORDING IZMIRAN DATA, WAS MODERATE (G1; Ams =45; dur.=18 h.). ACCORDING TO THE CENTER IN BOUDER THIS MAGNTTIC STORM IS A MAJOR (G2; Ams= 73; dur.=15 h.). LIKELY SOURCES OF THAT DISTURBANCE WERE A SOLAR FILAMENT EJECTA AT 29.05, WHICH WAS ACCOMPANIED BY CME "PAR- TIAL HALO II" TYPE AND THE HIGH-SPEED SOLAR WIND STREAM FROM A LARGE NEAR EQUATORIAL CORONAL HOLE WHICH EARTH WAS PASSED. OTHER DAYS THE GEOMAGNETIC CONDITION REMAINED UNSETTLED NEXT WEEK THE GEOMAGNETIC CONDITION IS EXPECTED UNSETTLED AND QUIET.
