:Product: 0713RSGA.txt :Issued: 2013 Jul 13 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 194 Issued at 2200Z on 13 Jul 2013 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 12/2100Z to 13/2100Z: Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a C1 event observed at 12/2233Z from Region 1787 (S13W49). There are currently 4 numbered sunspot regions on the disk. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is likely to be low with a slight chance for an M-class flare on day one (14 Jul) and expected to be very low with a chance for a C-class flares on days two and three (15 Jul, 16 Jul). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 12/2100Z to 13/2100Z: 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 565 km/s at 12/2242Z. Total IMF reached 16 nT at 13/1339Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -6 nT at 12/2254Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 16728 pfu. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to minor storm levels on day one (14 Jul), quiet to active levels on day two (15 Jul) and quiet levels on day three (16 Jul).
