Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 332 Issued at 2200Z on 28 Nov 2010
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 27/2100Z
to 28/2100Z: Solar activity has been very low. New Regions 1129
(S25W76) a Bxo-Beta type spot group and Region 1130 (N13E00), a
Csi-Beta type spot group, were numbered today. Region 1130 produced
a B2 x-ray event at 28/1754Z.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very
low with a chance of isolated C-class events from Region 1130 for
the next three days (29 November – 01 December).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 27/2100Z to 28/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field has been quiet to unsettled due to a recurrent
coronal hole high speed stream. Observations from the ACE
spacecraft indicated solar wind speeds reached approximately 500
km/s during the period.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be predominately quiet to unsettled with a slight chance
for isolated active periods during the next three days (29
November-01 December). The activity is forecast due to a recurrent
coronal hole high speed stream becoming geoeffective.
