:Product: 0412RSGA.txt :Issued: 2006 Apr 12 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 102 Issued at 2200Z on 12 Apr 2006 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 11/2100Z to 12/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Region 873 (S04E35) has developed in complexity and is now a Dai class spot group. All other regions have remained quiescent. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 11/2100Z to 12/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet. 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 quiet to unsettled on 13 April. Unsettled to active conditions with possible periods of minor storming are expected on 14 April, increasing to mostly active with possible minor to major storming on 15 April due to a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream.
