:Product: 0407RSGA.txt :Issued: 2006 Apr 07 2203 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 097 Issued at 2200Z on 07 Apr 2006 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 06/2100Z to 07/2100Z: Solar activity was low. Region 867 (S15W56) produced an impulsive C9 flare at 07/0803Z. Region 865 (S11W58) is in decay and now has 7 spots with a total area of 230 millionths. Region 869 (S12E08) has developed into a Dso class spot group. Region 866 (S05W53) has shown little change since yesterday. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low. There is a slight chance for M-class activity from Region 865. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 06/2100Z to 07/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet on 08 April. On 09 and 10 April, unsettled to active conditions with a chance for isolated minor storm periods are expected due to a high speed stream from a transequatorial coronal hole. III.
