Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 234 Issued at 2200Z on 22 Aug 2010
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 21/2100Z
to 22/2100Z: Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past
24 hours. No flares were observed during the period and no new
regions were numbered.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be at
very low levels for the next three days (23-25 August).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 21/2100Z to 22/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be at quiet levels on day one (23 August), at quiet to
unsettled levels on day two,(24 August), and unsettled to active
levels with a chance for isolated minor storm periods on day three
(25 August). This increase in activity is due to the arrival of a
recurrent coronal hole high-speed stream.
