Issued: 2011 Feb 10 2200 UTC
Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA,
Space Weather Prediction Center and the U.S. Air Force.

Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 041 Issued at 2200Z on 10 Feb 2011

IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  09/2100Z
to 10/2100Z:  Solar activity was low. Region 1153 produced a fewbr / B-class and C-class events early in the period before rotating off
the disk. Region 1156 (S14E09) remained stable and quiet.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low over the next 3 days (11-13 February).
IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 09/2100Z to 10/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet with an isolated period of
unsettled conditions between 10/06Z and 10/09Z at mid latitudes. The
greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at high
levels throughout the period.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  The geomagnetic field is
expected to be mostly quiet for the next 3 days (11-13 February).
