:Product: 0228RSGA.txt :Issued: 2010 Feb 28 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 059 Issued at 2200Z on 28 Feb 2010 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 27/2100Z to 28/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. No significant flares were detected during the forecast period. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low to low due to the return of old Region 1045 (N24, L242). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 27/2100Z to 28/2100Z: Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet levels. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be mostly quiet on days one and two (01 - 02 March) due to a recurrent coronal hole high-speed stream. Activity is expected to be at quiet levels on day three as the coronal hole effects subside. III. Event Probabilities 01 Mar-03 Mar Class M 05/05/05 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF green IV.
