:Product: 0207RSGA.txt :Issued: 2012 Feb 07 2200 UTC # Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, # Space Weather Prediction Center and the U.S. Air Force. # Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity SDF Number 038 Issued at 2200Z on 07 Feb 2012 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 06/2100Z to 07/2100Z: Solar activity was low. Region 1410 (N19W79) produced several C-class x-ray events over the period. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low with a chance for moderate levels on day 1 (8 February). Activity should decrease to very low levels on days 2-3 (9-10 February) after Region 1410 rotates off the west limb of the solar disk. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 06/2100Z to 07/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled at mid latitudes with an isolated minor storm observed between 07/09-15Z at a high latitude station in College, Alaska. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at unsettled to active levels on day 1 (8 February) as the results of elevated solar wind speeds and intermittent periods of negative Bz. Unsettled to active levels are again expected due to the arrival of a coronal hole high speed stream on days 2-3 (9-10 February). III.
