:Product: 1004RSGA.txt :Issued: 2006 Oct 04 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 277 Issued at 2200Z on 04 Oct 2006 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 03/2100Z to 04/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. A CME was first observed off the west limb on LASCO imagery at 04/0854 UTC. This CME probably originated from active Region 915 (S06, L=291) which rotated around the west limb on 03 October. The ejecta was directed to the west and is not expected to be geoeffective. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 03/2100Z to 04/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet. 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 mostly quiet. III.
