:Product: 20040627RSGA.txt :Issued: 2004 Jun 27 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 179 Issued at 2200Z on 27 Jun 2004 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 26/2100Z to 27/2100Z: Solar activity has been low. Several C-class flares occurred during the period. Region 637 (N08W16) produced a C1.0/Sf at 27/0358 UTC. Region 635 (S10W90) produced a C2.3 at 27/1557 UTC. New Region 639 (N11E73) produced a C1.6 flare at 27/1931 UTC. Two new regions were numbered today: Region 639 (N11E73) and Region 640 (S09E68). IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low to low. Regions 635, 637, and 639 may produce C-class flares. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 26/2100Z to 27/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been quiet to active. Solar wind speed observed at ACE remains below 400 km/s. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled, with active conditions possible 28-29 June from the effects of high speed solar wind from a geoeffective coronal hole.
