Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 317 Issued at 2200Z on 13 Nov 2001
IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  12/2100Z
to 13/2100Z:  Solar activity was moderate. Region 9690 (S18W34)
produced an impulsive M1/Sn flare at 13/0626Z and a long duration
C7/Sf flare at 13/1925Z. This region remains the largest and most
active region on the visible disk with white light area coverage
exceeding 1000 millionths. Some decay was observed over the past
24-36 hours with the delta configuration no longer obvious, but the
region still retains significant magnetic complexity and size. New
regions 9700 (S25W08) and 9701 (S33W03) were numbered today.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to be
moderate. Region 9690 will likely continue to produce C-class and
M-class flares and still has potential to produce an isolated major
flare.
IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 12/2100Z to 13/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled.
