:Product: 1009RSGA.txt :Issued: 2010 Oct 09 2200 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 282 Issued at 2200Z on 09 Oct 2010 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 08/2100Z to 09/2100Z: Solar activity was at very low levels. New Region 1112 (S18E65) was numbered during the period. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be at predominately very low levels with a slight chance for C-class activity for the next three days (10 - 12 October). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 08/2100Z to 09/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet for day one (10 October). By day two (11 October), activity is expected to increase to quiet to unsettled levels, with isolated active periods at high latitudes. The increase in activity is due to a small, geoeffective coronal hole high speed stream coupled with glancing blow effects from the 06 October full-halo CME. Day three (12 October) will see a return to mostly quiet conditions. III. Event Probabilities 10 Oct-12 Oct Class M 01/01/01 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF Green IV.
