:Product: 0929RSGA.txt :Issued: 2006 Sep 29 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 272 Issued at 2200Z on 29 Sep 2006 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 28/2100Z to 29/2100Z: Solar activity remains at very low levels. New Region 915 (S06W46) was numbered today. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain at very low levels. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 28/2100Z to 29/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels today. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels again today. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at predominantly unsettled to active levels. Isolated minor storm conditions are possible on 30 September and 01 October due to a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream. Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected to return on 02 October as the coronal hole wanes. III. Event Probabilities 30 Sep-02 Oct Class M 01/01/01 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF Green IV.
