:Product: 20040114RSGA.txt :Issued: 2004 Jan 14 2200 UTC # Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, # Space Environment Center and the U.S. Air Force. # Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity SDF Number 014 Issued at 2200Z on 14 Jan 2004 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 13/2100Z to 14/2100Z: Solar activity has been low. Region 536 (S12, L=74), produced a C1 flare at 14/1602 UTC. No new regions were numbered today. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low. Region 537 may produce C-class and isolated M-class flares. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 13/2100Z to 14/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been quiet to active. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled conditions. Activity may increase to active to minor storm conditions on 17 January due to increased solar wind speeds from a coronal hole moving into geoeffective position. III.
