:Product: 0823RSGA.txt :Issued: 2010 Aug 23 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 235 Issued at 2200Z on 23 Aug 2010 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 22/2100Z to 23/2100Z: Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24 hours. No flares were observed during the period and no new regions were numbered. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels for the next three days (24-26 August). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 22/2100Z to 23/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels on day one (24 August), at unsettled to active levels with a chance for isolated minor storm periods on day two (25 August), and at quiet to unsettled levels on day three (26 August). The increase in activity is due to a recurrent coronal hole high-speed stream. III. Event Probabilities 24 Aug-26 Aug Class M 01/01/01 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF Green IV.
