:Product: 0915RSGA.txt :Issued: 2010 Sep 15 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 258 Issued at 2200Z on 15 Sep 2010 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 14/2100Z to 15/2100Z: Solar activity has been very low. A B9 x-ray event occurred at 15/1715Z. The source appeared to be a region rotating around the southeast limb. Region 1106 (S20E18) appeared to be slowly decaying. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low for the next three days (16-18 September). C-class events are likely from the new region rotating onto the disk. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 14/2100Z to 15/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been quiet to unsettled with isolated active periods observed at some locations. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled on days one and two (16-17 September) due to possible effects from a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream. Day three (18 September) is expected to be quiet. III. Event Probabilities 16 Sep-18 Sep Class M 01/01/01 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF Green IV.
