:Product: 0112RSGA.txt :Issued: 2010 Jan 12 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 012 Issued at 2200Z on 12 Jan 2010 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 11/2100Z to 12/2100Z: Solar activity was low. Region 1040 (N28W04) produced a C1.1 flare at 1320Z along with numerous B-class flares. Region 1040 showed little change in areal coverage (300 millionths) and was classified as an Eao-beta group with 25 spots. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low to low. There is a slight chance Region 1040 could produce an isolated M-class flare. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 11/2100Z to 12/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly quiet with a slight chance for isolated unsettled periods on day one (13 January) due to the presence of a coronal hole high speed stream. Quiet conditions are expected for days two and three (14-15 January). III. Event Probabilities 13 Jan-15 Jan Class M 15/15/15 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF green IV.
