:Product: 0513RSGA.txt :Issued: 2010 May 13 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 133 Issued at 2200Z on 13 May 2010 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 12/2100Z to 13/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Plage Region 1068 (S19W50) produced a B2 flare at 13/0355Z. The visible disk remained spotless. No new regions were assigned. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low through the period (14 - 16 May). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 12/2100Z to 13/2100Z: Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet levels through the period. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels during the period. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at quiet levels on day 1 (14 May). Field activity is expected to increase to quiet to unsettled levels during days 2 - 3 (15 - 16 May) due to a coronal hole high-speed wind stream. III.
