:Product: 0628RSGA.txt :Issued: 2013 Jun 28 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 179 Issued at 2200Z on 28 Jun 2013 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 27/2100Z to 28/2100Z: Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a C7 event observed at 28/0337Z from Region 1778 (S17W01). There are currently 5 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 flares and a slight chance for an M-class flare on days one, two, and three (29 Jun, 30 Jun, 01 Jul). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 27/2100Z to 28/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed, as measured by the ACE spacecraft, reached a peak speed of 444 km/s at 27/2200Z. Total IMF reached 12 nT at 28/1617Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -12 nT at 28/1906Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 1393 pfu. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to active levels on days one, two, and three (29 Jun, 30 Jun, 01 Jul). III.
