:Product: 0807RSGA.txt :Issued: 2012 Aug 07 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 220 Issued at 2200Z on 07 Aug 2012 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 06/2100Z to 07/2100Z: Solar activity was low. Region 1542 (S14E62) was the most active region on the solar disk. This region produced seven C-class x-ray flares, the largest of which was a C4/Sf flare that occurred at 07/1330Z. A partial filament eruption occurred at approximately 06/1830Z. An associated CME was visible on LASCO C2 imagery at 06/1900Z off the west limb, however no significant impacts are expected. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low with a slight chance of an isolated M-class flare. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 06/2100Z to 07/2100Z: Geomagnetic activity was at quiet to unsettled levels with an isolated active period at high latitudes from 07/0900-1200Z. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled with a slight chance of isolated active to minor storm intervals on days one and two (08 and 09 Aug). This increase in activity is expected sometime between mid-day on 08 Aug to early on 09 Aug due to the arrival of the 04 Aug CME. Day three (10 Aug) is expected to return to quiet levels as the effects of the CME subside. III. Event Probabilities 08 Aug-10 Aug Class M 15/15/15 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF Green IV.
