Two TOOs were added but this should not be a big impact and products are expected out late today or tomorrow morning. - DEC2704 will be a two week load Radiation: - ACE radiation rates were very high over the weekend due to the M-flare on 3-Dec and subsequent CME arrival at ~ 0700 GMT 5-Dec. Fortunately Chandra was in the radiation belts and no action was required. At this time the ACE rates are still high (P3 ~ 20000) but declining steadily. This should continue since there has been no significant solar activity since the original M-flare. - GOES and EPHIN rates are low - Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low to low. - Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled. An isolated active period is possible on 06 December.
