Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 341 Issued at 2200Z on 07 Dec 2005

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 06/2100Z to 07/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Region 830 (N13E10) produced the only flare of the past day, a B5/Sf at 07/1852 UTC. All regions currently on the disk are small and simple.

IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low to low. A small C-class flare is possible in Region 826 (S05W69) or 830 (N13E10).

IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 06/2100Z to 07/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was high.

IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly quiet.
