:Product: 0110RSGA.txt :Issued: 2010 Jan 10 2201 UTC # Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, # Space Weather Prediction Center and the U.S. Air Force. # Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity SDF Number 010 Issued at 2200Z on 10 Jan 2010 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 09/2100Z to 10/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Region 1040 (N30E18) produced several B-class flares during the past 24 hours. Region 1040 continued to grow during the past 24 hours and is classified as a Eao-beta group with 15 spots and an area of approximately of 130 millionths. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low to low. There is a slight chance for an isolated M-class event from Region 1040. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 09/2100Z to 10/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet on day one (11 January). Quiet, with isolated unsettled levels, are expected on day two (12 January) as a coronal hole moves into a geoeffective position. Quiet to unsettled levels, with a slight chance for active levels, are expected on day three (13 January). III.
