:Product: 20040710RSGA.txt :Issued: 2004 Jul 10 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 192 Issued at 2200Z on 10 Jul 2004 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 09/2100Z to 10/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. New Region 644 (N11E69) rotated into view as a single H-type sunspot. Region 645 (N12W11) emerged on the disk. Another new region, not yet numbered, is rotating onto the disk near southeast 13. This region is fairly bright in X-rays and appears to have raised the background x-ray flux from B1 to about B4. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low. The chance of a small M-class flare is expected to increase as the new east limb regions fully rotate onto the disk. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 09/2100Z to 10/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled. III.
