Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 033 Issued at 2200Z on 02 Feb 2011
IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  01/2100Z
to 02/2100Z:  Solar activity was very low. A full halo CME was
visible on LASCO C3 starting at 01/2330Z, but appears to be backside
through analysis of the STEREO coronagraphs.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low with a chance for a C-class flare.
IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 01/2100Z to 02/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet to unsettled throughout the
period.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  The geomagnetic field is
expected to be mostly unsettled on day 1 (3 February) until the
anticipated mid-day arrival of the CME from 30 January, when a minor
storm is likely. Conditions for days 2-3 (4-5 February) are forecast
to begin at mostly unsettled to active and then decrease to
primarily quiet with a few isolated unsettled periods as the coronal
hole effects wane.
