:Product: 1010RSGA.txt :Issued: 2011 Oct 10 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 283 Issued at 2200Z on 10 Oct 2011 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 09/2100Z to 10/2100Z: Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. Region 1313 (S15E01) was the most active region, producing multiple low level C-class events. New Region 1315 (N20E08) was numbered early in the period and is current magnetically classified as a beta group. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain at low levels with a slight chance for M-class events, for the next three days (11-13 October). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 09/2100Z to 10/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels with a slight chance for an isolated active period on day one (11 October), as a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream becomes geoeffective. Predominantly quiet levels are expected on days two and three (12-13 October) as effects from the high speed stream wane. III.
