:Product: 1210RSGA.txt :Issued: 2007 Dec 10 2203 UTC # Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, # Space Weather Prediction Center and the U.S. Air Force. # Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity SDF Number 344 Issued at 2200Z on 10 Dec 2007 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 09/2100Z to 10/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Region 978 (S08E14) grew in complexity over the past day and is currently a beta-gamma magnetic type. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to range from very low to low. The trend in Region 978 suggest a good chance for C-class activity.. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 09/2100Z to 10/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled. Solar wind speeds at ACE began to increase, approaching 440 km/s by 1800Z. Temperature and density trends also signal the approach of a coronal hole high speed stream. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to become unsettled early in the period as the recurrent coronal hole high speed stream becomes geoeffective. Occasional active periods may occur, particularly at high latitudes. Extrapolation from STEREO Behind suggests a peak speed near 600 km/s by 11 November at 1000Z. The disturbed conditions are exptected to diminish by 13 December. III. Event Probabilities 11 Dec-13 Dec Class M 15/15/15 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF Green IV.
