:Product: 1010RSGA.txt :Issued: 2008 Oct 10 2200 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 284 Issued at 2200Z on 10 Oct 2008 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 09/2100Z to 10/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. A new region was numbered today as Region 1004 (S08W17). IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 09/2100Z to 10/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at high levels today. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly quiet for 11 October. Unsettled to active conditions are expected for 12-13 October as a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream becomes geoeffective. III.
