:Product: 0920RSGA.txt :Issued: 2009 Sep 20 2201 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 263 Issued at 2200Z on 20 Sep 2009 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 19/2100Z to 20/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. No flares were observed and the solar disk continues to be void of sunspots. Solar x-ray images and Stereo B EUVI continue to indicate an active region just on or behind the east limb although so far there have not been any reports of the group in ground-based H-alpha imagery. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. Background levels are expected to increase gradually as the new region rotates onto the solar disk. There is a slight chance for isolated B-class events during the next three days (21-23 September). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 19/2100Z to 20/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet during the past 24 hours. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet for the next three days (21-23 September). III.
