:Product: 20040624RSGA.txt :Issued: 2004 Jun 24 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 176 Issued at 2200Z on 24 Jun 2004 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 23/2100Z to 24/2100Z: Solar activity has been low. Region 635 (S11W53) produced two C-class flares, a C1.4/Sf at 24/0559 UTC and a C1.7/Sf at 24/0621 UTC. Region 635 maintained a beta-gamma-delta configuration while growing slightly in size. No new regions were numbered today. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low. Region 635 is expected to produce C-class flares, and isolated M-class flares are possible. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 23/2100Z to 24/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been quiet to unsettled. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled for all three days (25-27 June), with periods of isolated active and minor storm conditions on day three (27 June) as Earth comes under the influence of a high speed solar wind stream from a coronal hole.
