Report of Solar-Geophysical Activity
Issued: 2006 Apr 07 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 097 Issued at 2200Z on 07 Apr 2006
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 06/2100Z
to 07/2100Z: Solar activity was low. Region 867 (S15W56) produced
an impulsive C9 flare at 07/0803Z. Region 865 (S11W58) is in decay
and now has 7 spots with a total area of 230 millionths. Region 869
(S12E08) has developed into a Dso class spot group. Region 866
(S05W53) has shown little change since yesterday.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low.
There is a slight chance for M-class activity from Region 865.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 06/2100Z to 07/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet on 08 April. On 09 and 10 April, unsettled to
active conditions with a chance for isolated minor storm periods are
expected due to a high speed stream from a transequatorial coronal
hole.
