Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 258 Issued at 2200Z on 15 Sep 2010
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 14/2100Z
to 15/2100Z: Solar activity has been very low. A B9 x-ray event
occurred at 15/1715Z. The source appeared to be a region rotating
around the southeast limb. Region 1106 (S20E18) appeared to be
slowly decaying.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low
for the next three days (16-18 September). C-class events are likely
from the new region rotating onto the disk.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 14/2100Z to 15/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field has been quiet to unsettled with isolated
active periods observed at some locations.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled on days one and two (16-17
September) due to possible effects from a recurrent coronal hole
high speed stream. Day three (18 September) is expected to be quiet.
