Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 294 Issued at 2200Z on 21 Oct 2011
IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  20/2100Z
to 21/2100Z:  Solar activity was moderate during the past 24 hours.
Region 1319 (N12W79) produced an M1 at 21/1300Z associated with Type
II (estimated speed 789 km/s) and Type IV Radio Sweeps. Further
analysis will be conducted as imagery becomes available. The region
has grown in areal coverage and has shown intermediate spot
development. Region 1324 (N10E27) produced some C-class activity.
New Region 1329 (S30W42) was numbered today and is considered a
Cso-beta group.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to be low
with M-class activity likely for the next three days (22-24
October).
IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 20/2100Z to 21/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet during the past 24 hours.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  The geomagnetic field is
expected to be mostly quiet for the next three days (22-24 October).
