Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 251 Issued at 2200Z on 07 Sep 2012
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 06/2100Z
to 07/2100Z: Solar activity was low. Regions 1560 (N05W89) and 1562
(S20W63) each produced a few low-level C flares. Region 1562
continued to grow in areal coverage overnight. New Region 1567
(N17E56) was numbered today. The region is a simple Bxo-beta type
spot group. All other regions on the disk were quiet and stable. No
Earth-directed CMEs were observed during the period.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low
with a slight chance for isolated M-class activity for the next
three days (08-10 September).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 06/2100Z to 07/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to remain mostly quiet for the next three days (08-10
September).
