Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 294 Issued at 2200Z on 20 Oct 2000
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 19/2100Z
to 20/2100Z: Solar activity was low. Region 9199 (N08W04) produced
a couple of minor C-class events. Region 9201 showed moderate
growth during the period. New Regions 9203 (N15W15), and 9204
(N09E15) were numbered today.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 19/2100Z to 20/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled. Isolated active conditions are
possible on day two and three as a coronal hole rotates into a more
geoeffective position.
