:Product: 1127RSGA.txt :Issued: 2006 Nov 27 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 331 Issued at 2200Z on 27 Nov 2006 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 26/2100Z to 27/2100Z: Solar activity was at very low levels today. Region 926 (S08E47) developed several umbra in the trailing portion of sunspot cluster and is now classified a magnetic beta group. Region 927 (N08E59) was numbered today and appears to be a rapidly developing emerging flux region. Several B-class flares were attributed to this region today. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain at low levels. There is a slight chance for an isolated C-class flare from Region 926. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 26/2100Z to 27/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels. The solar wind speed has steadily decreased to less than 550 km/sec during the period as the coronal hole moves out of geoeffective position. The greater than 2 electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels again today. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels throughout the period. III.
