Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 225 Issued at 2200Z on 13 Aug 2010
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 12/2100Z
to 13/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. No flares were observed in
the past 24 hours. New region 1099 (N17W41) was numbered today.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very
low, with a chance for a C-class flare.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 12/2100Z to 13/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels. The greater than 2 MeV
electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels again
today.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: Geomagnetic field activity is
expected to be quiet on day one (14 August). Unsettled to active
levels are expected on days two and three (15 -16 August) due to a
coronal hole high-speed stream.
