:Product: 0923RSGA.txt :Issued: 2009 Sep 23 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 266 Issued at 2200Z on 23 Sep 2009 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 22/2100Z to 23/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Region 1026 (S36E34) has shown little change while Region 1027 (N23E21) has grown in both white light areal coverage and sunspot count. No flares were observed in the past 24 hours. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. There is a slight chance for an isolated C-class event given the two regions on the visible disk. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 22/2100Z to 23/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet for the next two days (24-25 September). Unsettled conditions, with isolated active levels, are expected for day three (26 September) as a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream becomes geoeffective. III.
