Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 269 Issued at 2200Z on 25 Sep 2012
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 24/2100Z
to 25/2100Z: Solar activity was low. The largest flare of the
period was a C4 flare at 25/1753Z from Region 1580 (N17E67). New
Region 1581 (N22E03) was numbered today. No Earth-directed CMEs
were observed.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to continue
at low levels with a slight chance for M-class flares.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 24/2100Z to 25/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to continue at mostly quiet conditions. There is a slight
chance for a greater than 10 MeV proton event from active regions
rotating around the southeast limb.
