:Product: 1231RSGA.txt :Issued: 2009 Dec 31 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 365 Issued at 2200Z on 31 Dec 2009 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 30/2100Z to 31/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Region 1039 (S28W21) grew in both sunspot count and white light area coverage and produced several low-level B-flares. This region remains a D-type sunspot group with a beta magnetic classification. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low to low. There is a slight chance of an isolated C-flare and M-flare from Region 1039. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 30/2100Z to 31/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet for the next three days (01 - 03 January). III.
