Report of Solar-Geophysical Activity
Issued: 2006 Sep 13 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 256 Issued
at 2200Z on 13 Sep 2006
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 12/2100Z to 13/2100Z:
Solar activity was very low. Region 909 (S09W80) produced multiple B-class
flares during the past 24 hours. The largest of these was a B7 flare at
13/0416Z.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. There is
a slight chance for an isolated C-class event.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 12/2100Z to 13/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be
quiet to unsettled for the next three days (14-16 Sep). Isolated active
conditions are possible on 16 Sep as a recurrent coronal hole rotates into
geoeffective position.
