:Product: 0722RSGA.txt :Issued: 2010 Jul 22 2235 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 203 Issued at 2200Z on 22 Jul 2010 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 21/2100Z to 22/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Todays activity consisted of occasional mid-level and upper level B-class flares. Most of these were from Region 1089 (S23E33) although Region 1087 (N18, rotated beyond west limb) also contributed. Activity appeared to be on a general decreasing trend during the last few hours of the period. Region 1089 appeared to be simplifying somewhat and showed a slight decline in overall sunspot area. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low to low for the next three days (23-25 July). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 21/2100Z to 22/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be unsettled for the next two days (23-24 July). The increase is expected due to a favorably positioned coronal hole. Quiet to unsettled levels are expected for 25 July. III. Event Probabilities 23 Jul-25 Jul Class M 05/05/05 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF Green IV.
