Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 246 Issued at 2200Z on 03 Sep 2010
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 02/2100Z
to 03/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Region 1105 (N18W22)
produced the only x-ray event of the period, a B1.8 flare at
03/1438Z. The three other regions on the disk remained quiet and
stable.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is forecast to be very
low with the chance for an isolated C-class flare for the next 3
days (4-6 September).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 02/2100Z to 03/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
forecast to be mostly quiet on day 1 (4 September), and quiet to
active on days 2 and 3 (5-6 September) due to recurrent coronal hole
effects.
