Report of Solar Geophysical Activity (RSGA)Joint USAF/NOAA Solar Geophysical Activity Report and Forecast SDF Number 100 Issued at 2200Z on 10 Apr 2014 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 09/2100Z to 10/2100Z: Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a C4 event observed at 10/0152Z. There are currently 6 numbered sunspot regions on the disk. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low with a chance for M-class flares on days one, two, and three (11 Apr, 12 Apr, 13 Apr). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 09/2100Z to 10/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed, as measured by the ACE spacecraft, reached a peak speed of 472 km/s at 09/2230Z. Total IMF reached 5 nT at 10/2059Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -1 nT at 09/2246Z. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels on day one (11 Apr) and quiet to active levels on days two and three (12 Apr, 13 Apr). III.
