:Product: 1029RSGA.txt :Issued: 2006 Oct 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 302 Issued at 2200Z on 29 Oct 2006 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 28/2100Z to 29/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to continue at very low levels. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 28/2100Z to 29/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet to active. Activity was due to the continued influence of a geoeffective coronal hole high speed stream. Solar wind speed at ACE is currently elevated around 540 km/s. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled with isolated active periods possible at high latitudes on 30 October. On 31 October and 01 November, quiet to unsettled conditions are expected. III. Event Probabilities 30 Oct-01 Nov Class M 01/01/01 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF green IV.
