Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 223 Issued at 2200Z on 11 Aug 2010
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 10/2100Z
to 11/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Several low-level B-class
flares were observed during the period. Region 1098 (N15E28) was
numbered and was classified as a Dro spot group with a beta magnetic
configuration.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very
low, with a chance for a C-class flare from Region 1098.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 10/2100Z to 11/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels, with a single
unsettled period between 11/06-09Z. The greater than 2 MeV electron
flux at geosynchronous orbit was at high levels today.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: Geomagnetic field activity is
expected to be quiet for the next three days (12-14 August).
