:Product: 0116RSGA.txt :Issued: 2009 Jan 16 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 016 Issued at 2200Z on 16 Jan 2009 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 15/2100Z to 16/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. No flares were observed during the past 24 hours. The visible disk remained spotless. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 15/2100Z to 16/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was predominantly quiet. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet on 17-18 January. Conditions should increase to quiet to unsettled late on 18 January and last through 19 January, as a recurrent coronal hole rotates into a geoeffective position. During this interval, isolated active conditions are possible at high latitudes. III. Event Probabilities 17 Jan-19 Jan Class M 01/01/01 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF Green IV.
