Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 332 Issued at 2200Z on 28 Nov 2011
IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  27/2100Z
to 28/2100Z:  Solar activity was low.  The largest flare of the
period was a C3 at 28/1830Z from Region 1361 (N18E21).  Region 1361
had decay in its intermediate spots with slight growth in its
trailer spot.  Region 1362 (N07E60) has shown numerous smaller
trailer spots since rotating further into view.  An eruptive
filament was first observed at 28/0534Z in SDO AIA 304 imagery near
Region 1362.  A CME, likely associated with this event, was seen
shortly after in STEREO A COR2 imagery beginning at 28/0809Z.  The
ejecta was mostly directed off the west limb as observed in
SOHO/LASCO imagery.  This event is not expected to be geoeffective.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to continue
at low levels with a slight chance for an M-class flare.
IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 27/2100Z to 28/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet.  The greater than 10 MeV proton
event above 10 PFUs began at 26/1125Z, reached a maximum flux of 80
PFUs at 27/0125Z, and ended at 28/0145Z.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  The geomagnetic field is
expected to be unsettled to active with a chance for minor storm
periods on days 1-2 (29-30 November).  Activity is due to a
combination of a coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) and the
coronal mass ejection (CME) from 26/0712Z.  On day 3 (01 December)
mostly quiet to unsettled conditions are expected.
