Report of Solar-Geophysical Activity
Issued: 2005 Dec 24 2200 UTC
Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, # Space Environment Center and the U.S. Air Force.
Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity SDF Number 358 Issued at 2200Z on 24 Dec 2005 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 23/2100Z to 24/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. New Regions 840 (S03E66) and 841 (N04E74) were numbered today.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low to low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 23/2100Z to 24/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled on 25 and 26 December. On 27 December, active to minor storm periods are possible due to a coronal hole high speed stream moving into geoeffective position.
