Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 182 Issued at 2200Z on 01 Jul 2011
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 30/2100Z
to 01/2100Z: Solar activity has been very low. There were several
B-class flares observed in the past 24 hours from Region 1243
(N17E22) and new Region 1244 (N16W10). Region 1244 emerged on the
disk and is a small B-type sunspot group.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very
low with a chance for isolated C-class flares.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 30/2100Z to 01/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet to active. ACE solar wind data
indicated velocities up to 450 km/s consistent with a high speed
stream from a favorably positioned coronal hole.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be mostly unsettled on day 1 (2 July). Days 2 and 3 (3
– 4 July) are expected to be quiet to unsettled.
