:Product: 1013RSGA.txt :Issued: 2010 Oct 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 286 Issued at 2200Z on 13 Oct 2010 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 12/2100Z to 13/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Region 1112 (S17E14) remained stable and quiet. New Region 1113 (N17E76) produced several B-class x-ray events, the largest a B4 event at 13/1627Z. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low for the next 3 days (14-16 October). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 12/2100Z to 13/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet. 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 quiet for days 1 and 2 (14-15 October) and quiet to unsettled with a chance for isolated periods of active conditions on day 3 (16 October). The increased activity is expected due to the possible arrival of a CME observed on 11 October. III. Event Probabilities 14 Oct-16 Oct Class M 01/01/01 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF Green IV.
