Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 274 Issued at 2200Z on 01 Oct 2010
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 30/2100Z
to 01/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Region 1110 (N20W71)
produced a long duration, B5/Sf event at 01/1001Z. Region 1110 has
decreased in areal coverage and extent and is now an A-type group.
Region 1109 (N21W51) has shown little change during the past 24
hours and remains a D-type group with a beta magnetic configuration.
Region 1111 (N20E30) has increased in extent and is now a B-type
group.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low with a chance for a C-class event.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 30/2100Z to 01/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet during the past 24 hours.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be predominantly quiet for the next three days (02-04
October).
