Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 133 Issued at 2200Z on 13 May 2010


IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 12/2100Z
to 13/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Plage Region 1068 (S19W50)
produced a B2 flare at 13/0355Z. The visible disk remained spotless.
No new regions were assigned.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very
low through the period (14 - 16 May).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 12/2100Z to 13/2100Z:
Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet levels through the period.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached
high levels during the period.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: Geomagnetic field activity is
expected to be at quiet levels on day 1 (14 May). Field activity is
expected to increase to quiet to unsettled levels during days 2 - 3
(15 - 16 May) due to a coronal hole high-speed wind stream.
