Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 364 Issued at 2200Z on 30 Dec 2009
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 29/2100Z
to 30/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Region 1039 (S27W08)
showed little change and maintained a D-type sunspot group and beta
magnetic classification. No flares were observed during the past 24
hours.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low. There is a slight chance of an isolated C-flare from
Region 1039.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 29/2100Z to 30/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet for the next three days (31 December – 02
January).
