:Product: 0921RSGA.txt :Issued: 2006 Sep 21 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 264 Issued at 2200Z on 21 Sep 2006 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 20/2100Z to 21/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Region 910 (S09E10) remains the only sunspot group on the visible disk. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to continue at very low levels. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 20/2100Z to 21/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at high levels. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels on 22 September. Unsettled to active conditions with isolated minor storm periods are possible on 23 September due to a favorably positioned coronal hole high speed stream. Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected to return for 24 September. III. Event Probabilities 22 Sep-24 Sep Class M 01/01/01 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF Green IV.
