:Product: 0822RSGA.txt :Issued: 2011 Aug 22 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 234 Issued at 2200Z on 22 Aug 2011 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 21/2100Z to 22/2100Z: Solar activity was low. Region 1272 (S21W08) produced a C1 event at 21/2316Z, and 1271 (N17W16) produced a long duration C1 event at 22/1604Z. Both regions also produced several B-class flares. Region 1274 (N18E42) produced a notable B9 event at 22/0949Z. Region 1271 had significant intermediate spot and penumbral growth. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low with a slight chance for moderate activity. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 21/2100Z to 22/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled, consistent with effects from a weak coronal hole high speed stream. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet for the next three days (23-25 Aug) as effects from the high speed stream subside. III.
