:Product: 1116RSGA.txt :Issued: 2006 Nov 16 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 320 Issued at 2200Z on 16 Nov 2006 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 15/2100Z to 16/2100Z: Solar activity has been very low. Region 923 (S05W33) exhibits emergence of new flux just to the NE of its large penumbra. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low to low. Regions 923 (S05W33) and 924 (S08E16) continue to have the potential for isolated C-class flares. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 15/2100Z to 16/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet with one period of minor storming associated with a period of southward Bz. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to range from quiet to unsettled due to a recurrent high speed stream. An occasional active period is possible. III.
