:Product: 0226RSGA.txt :Issued: 2006 Feb 26 2204 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 057 Issued at 2200Z on 26 Feb 2006 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 25/2100Z to 26/2100Z: Solar activity has been very low. Several low level B-class events were observed from a region rotating onto the SE limb. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. An isolated C-class event is possible from the new oncoming region. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 25/2100Z to 26/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was primarily quiet with one period of unsettled conditions observed at mid latitudes. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels today. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly quiet. Isolated unsettled to active conditions are possible on 28 February and 01 March due to a small recurrent coronal hole. III.
