:Product: 0926RSGA.txt :Issued: 2010 Sep 26 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 269 Issued at 2200Z on 26 Sep 2010 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 25/2100Z to 26/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Region 1109 (N21E14) produced several B-class flares during the period and has grown in both areal coverage and spot count. The region has maintained its E-type sunspot classification and is a beta magnetic configuration. New Region 1110 (N19W07) was numbered today and is magnetically classified as an alpha group. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low. Region 1109 is likely to produce C-class flares with a slight chance for a M-class event. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 25/2100Z to 26/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was predominantly quiet. Unsettled levels were observed at mid-latitudes during the period between 26/1200-1500Z. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at predominately quiet levels with isolated unsettled periods for the next three days (27-29 September) due to the continued influence of a high speed wind stream.
