:Product: 0313RSGA.txt :Issued: 2010 Mar 13 2330 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 :::::::::: Corrected Copy :::::::::: SDF Number 072 Issued at 2200Z on 13 Mar 2010 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 12/2100Z to 13/2100Z: Solar activity was at very low levels for the past 24 hours. Region 1054 (N15E15) showed growth and is now magnetically classified as a Beta-Gamma. No new regions were numbered today. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be at very low to low levels for the next three days (14-16 March). C-flares are likely from Region 1054. There is a slight chance for an isolated M-class event from this region. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 12/2100Z to 13/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels during the period. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at mostly quiet levels on the first day (14 March) and then at mostly quiet to unsettled levels on day two and three (15-16 March) due to a recurrent coronal hole high-speed stream and solar sector boundary crossing.
