:Product: 1201RSGA.txt :Issued: 2012 Dec 01 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 Solar Geophysical Activity Report and Forecast SDF Number 336 Issued at 2200Z on 01 Dec 2012 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 30/2100Z to 01/2100Z: Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a C1 event observed at 01/1030Z from Region 1620 (S13W95) as it departed the west limb. There are currently 3 numbered sunspot regions on the disk. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be at low levels on days one, two, and three (02 Dec, 03 Dec, 04 Dec). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 30/2100Z to 01/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed, as measured by the ACE spacecraft, reached a peak speed of 341 km/s at 01/0403Z. Total IMF reached 9 nT at 01/2038Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -5.1 nT at 01/2020Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 156 pfu. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels for the next two days (02 Dec, 03 Dec). The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels on 04 December. III. Event probabilities 02 Dec-04 Dec Class M 10/10/10 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF green IV.
