Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 022 Issued at 2200Z on 22 Jan 2006
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 21/2100Z to 22/2100Z: Solar activity increased to low levels. Region 848 (S19W15) produced multiple B and C-class flares during the period, the largest event was a C4 x-ray flare occurring at 22/1410Z. A weak delta spot is evident near the central cluster of intermediate spots. Region 849 (S07E44) was numbered today.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be at low to moderate levels. Region 848 has the potential of producing isolated M-class flares.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 21/2100Z to 22/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at predominantly quiet to unsettled levels. Isolated active conditions are possible on 23 and 24 January due to a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream.
