Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 211 Issued at 2200Z on 30 Jul 2010
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 29/2100Z
to 30/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Region (1092) produced a
few B-class x-ray flares. The largest of these was a B9 at 30/0221Z
associated with a limb event CME visible off the northeast limb on
LASCO C3 imagery as well as STEREO A and B coronagraphs.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is forecast to be very
low to low with a chance for a C-class flare for the next 3 days (31
July-02 August).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 29/2100Z to 30/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet with an isolated period of
unsettled conditions between 15-18Z. The greater than 2 MeV electron
flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels during the past 24
hours.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
forecast to be mostly quiet with a few isolated periods of unsettled
conditions for the next 3 days (31 July-02 August).
