Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 242 Issued at 2200Z on 30 Aug 2005
IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  29/2100Z
to 30/2100Z:  Solar activity was at low levels.  Region 806 (S17E37)
was responsible for all recorded flare activity today.  The largest
event observed during the period was a C6/Sf flare occurring at
30/2155Z.  This region remains a magnetically structured beta-gamma
group with little change seen in sunspot coverage from yesterday. 
Region 803 (N11E01) continued to show signs of decay and was
quiescent during the period.  No new regions were numbered today.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to be at
low levels.
IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 29/2100Z to 30/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was at predominantly quiet levels.  The greater
than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high level
again today.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  The geomagnetic field is
expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels on 31 August.  Active to
minor storming condition may be possible on 01 and 02 September due
to coronal hole effects.
