:Product: 1024RSGA.txt :Issued: 2009 Oct 24 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 297 Issued at 2200Z on 24 Oct 2009 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 23/2100Z to 24/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. No flares were detected. Region 1029 (N14W01) is now a 13-spot bipolar sunspot group. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low to low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 23/2100Z to 24/2100Z: Geomagnetic field activity was mostly quiet. One period of unsettled conditions was observed between 1800 - 2100Z. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be quiet to unsettled on day one (25 October) in response to a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream. Quiet conditions are expected on days two and three (26 - 27 October). III. Event Probabilities 25 Oct-27 Oct Class M 01/01/01 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF Green IV.
