:Product: 0126RSGA.txt :Issued: 2013 Jan 26 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 Solar Geophysical Activity Report and Forecast SDF Number 26 Issued at 2200Z on 26 Jan 2013 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 25/2100Z to 26/2100Z: Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24 hours. There are currently 4 numbered sunspot regions on the disk. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low with a chance for a C-class flare on days one, two, and three (27 Jan, 28 Jan, 29 Jan). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 25/2100Z to 26/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed at the ACE spacecraft peaked at 549 km/s at 26/1352Z. Total IMF reached 15.9 nT at 26/1422Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -12.7 nT at 25/2254Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV reached a peak flux of 118 pfu at geosynchronous orbit. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to active levels for day one (27 Jan) decreasing to quiet to unsettled levels for the remainder of the period (28 Jan, 29 Jan).
