This message is for users of the NOAA/SEC Space Weather Operations
sunspot region numbers. As you may have noticed, we are steadily
approaching region number 10000. The plan for Space Weather
operations is to go through the sequence of Region numbers as 9998,
9999, 0000, 0001, and so on. SEC's product text discussions of the
active regions will ignore the leading zeroes (for example, we will
say 'Region number 5' rather than Region number '0005'). However,
the Geoalert product, the Region Report product, as well as the USAF
and IUWDS data exchange codes will preserve the 4 digit format. The
necessity of using four digits is for operational purposes only. For
historical purposes all regions beyond Region 9999 will be
understood to be in a series of regions numbers 10000 and higher.
