:Product: 1123RSGA.txt :Issued: 2013 Nov 23 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 327 Issued at 2200Z on 23 Nov 2013 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 22/2100Z to 23/2100Z: Solar activity has been at moderate levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a M1 event observed at 23/0232Z from Region 1904 (N12W67). There are currently 4 numbered sunspot regions on the disk. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is likely to be low with a chance for M-class flares on days one and two (24 Nov, 25 Nov) and likely to be low with a slight chance for an M-class flare on day three (26 Nov). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 22/2100Z to 23/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to unsettled levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed, as measured by the ACE spacecraft, reached a peak speed of 393 km/s at 23/1403Z. Total IMF reached 10 nT at 23/1344Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -8 nT at 23/0723Z. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels on day one (24 Nov) and quiet to unsettled levels on days two and three (25 Nov, 26 Nov). III.
