Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 041 Issued at 2200Z on 10 Feb 2011
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 09/2100Z
to 10/2100Z: Solar activity was low. Region 1153 produced a few
B-class and C-class events early in the period before rotating off
the disk. Region 1156 (S14E09) remained stable and quiet.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low over the next 3 days (11-13 February).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 09/2100Z to 10/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet with an isolated period of
unsettled conditions between 10/06Z and 10/09Z at mid latitudes. The
greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at high
levels throughout the period.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be mostly quiet for the next 3 days (11-13 February).
