:Product: 1212RSGA.txt :Issued: 2011 Dec 12 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 346 Issued at 2200Z on 12 Dec 2011 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 11/2100Z to 12/2100Z: Solar activity was low. Todays largest event was a C1/Sf at 0837Z from Region 1374 (S17E15). Region 1374 is currently the largest group on the disk with an area around 150 millionths and there is evidence for a small magnetic delta configuration in the south part of the leading spot complex. The other regions on the disk were quiet and stable. SDO imagery shows one or possibly two new groups just rotating into view near the east limb. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low for the next three days (13-15 December). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 11/2100Z to 12/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet during the past 24 hours. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet for the next three days (13-15 December). III.
