:Product: 0202RSGA.txt :Issued: 2013 Feb 02 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 33 Issued at 2200Z on 02 Feb 2013 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 01/2100Z to 02/2100Z: Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a C2 event observed at 02/1958Z from Region 1667 (N23E49). 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 C-class flares on days one, two, and three (03 Feb, 04 Feb, 05 Feb). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 01/2100Z to 02/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to unsettled levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed at the ACE spacecraft, reached a peak speed of 529 km/s at 02/1457Z. Total IMF reached 11.5 nT at 02/0147Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -8.5 nT at 02/0221Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 108 pfu. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to active levels for the next three days (03 Feb, 04 Feb, 05 Feb). III.
