:Product: 0823RSGA.txt :Issued: 2011 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 2011 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 22/2100Z to 23/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. The largest event in the last 24 hours was a B5 event that originated from Region 1271 (N17W29) at 23/0125Z. This region has shown separation and decayed penumbra in its trailer spots. It is now classified as a Eki spot group with a Beta magnetic configuration. Regions 1272 (S21W20), 1274 (N19E30) and 1275 (N08E39) showed various amounts of decay. New Region 1276 (N20E48) was numbered today. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low to low with a slight chance for an M-class event from Region 1271 for the next three days (24-26 August). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 22/2100Z to 23/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet for the next three days (24-26 August). III.
