Report of Solar-Geophysical Activity
Issued: 2006 Nov 26 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 330 Issued at 2200Z on 26 Nov 2006
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 25/2100Z to 26/2100Z: Solar activity was at very low levels. Region 926 (S08E60) produced several B-class flares during the period.
Analysis indicates that this region has a simple magnetic structure.
No new regions were numbered today.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels. There is a slight chance of an isolated C-class flare from Region 926.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 25/2100Z to 26/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to active levels. A favorably positioned coronal hole is responsible for the elevated conditions.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels again today.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels. Isolated active periods are possible on 27 November as the coronal hole moves out of geoeffective position.
