:Product: 0223RSGA.txt :Issued: 2011 Feb 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 054 Issued at 2200Z on 23 Feb 2011 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 22/2100Z to 23/2100Z: Solar activity has been low. Region 1161 (N13W69) produced the periods only C-class event, a C1 at 23/1223Z. Both Region 1161 and Region 1162 (N18W73) have decayed significantly and have a simple Beta magnetic classification. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low for the next three days (24-26 February). There is a chance for an isolated C-class event from Region 1161 before it rotates off the visible disk. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 22/2100Z to 23/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been quiet with an isolated unsettled period at 23/1500-1800Z. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be predominately quiet on day one (24 February). Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected on days two and three (25-26 February).
