:Product: 0829RSGA.txt :Issued: 2010 Aug 29 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 241 Issued at 2200Z on 29 Aug 2010 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 28/2100Z to 29/2100Z: Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24 hours. Region 1101 (N12E07) remains quiet and stable. New Region 1102 (N27W13) was numbered today and emerged on the disk as a C-type sunspot group with a beta magnetic classification. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels for the next three days (30 August - 01 September). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 28/2100Z to 29/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. ACE solar wind readings indicated velocities gradually decreasing from 580 to 450 km/s during the period. This decrease in velocity was associated with the waning effects of the latest coronal hole high speed stream. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at high levels throughout the period. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels for the next three days (30 August - 01 September). III.
