Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Weather Prediction Center and the U.S. Air Force. Updated 2010 Sep 07 2201 UTC Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity SDF Number 250 Issued at 2200Z on 07 Sep 2010 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 06/2100Z to 07/2100Z: Solar activity has been very low. Region 1105 (N19W77) produced a B4/Sf flare on 07/0528Z. An 11 degree filament near N11E19 disappeared between 07/1359-1439Z. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low with a slight chance for a C-class x-ray event on days one and two (08-09 September). Solar activity is expected to be very low on day three (10 September) as Region 1105 (N19W77) rotates off the visible disk. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 06/2100Z to 07/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been quiet to active. An isolated active period occurred between 07/0900-1200Z. Solar wind velocity, as measured at the ACE spacecraft, indicated an increase to approximately 500 km/s during the period. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be predominately quiet to unsettled with a slight chance for isolated active periods during days one and two (08-09 September), due to enhanced solar wind velocity. Day three (10 September) is expected to be quiet as the solar wind speed is forecast to subside. [Latest Report]
