Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 109 Issued at 2200Z on 18 Apr 2012
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 17/2100Z
to 18/2100Z: Solar activity was low during the past 24 hours. New
Region 1463 (S26W36) produced several C-class and optical flares,
the largest a C8/Sf at 18/1239Z. An associated CME became visible in
STEREO COR2 imagery at 18/1309Z. Further analysis will be conducted
to determine effectiveness as imagery becomes available. Region 1463
also produced a C5 flare at 18/1706Z associated with Type II (est.
speed 621 km/s) and Type IV radio sweeps. No STEREO or LASCO imagery
was available for this event. Further analysis will also be
conducted on this event when imagery is available.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low
with a slight chance for an isolated M-class event for the next
three days (19-21 April).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 17/2100Z to 18/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled during the past 24
hours. The increase in activity was due to a slight increase in
solar wind speeds (reaching approximately 475 km/s) and extended
periods of southward Bz.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be mostly quiet on day one (19 April). Quiet to
unsettled conditions are expected on day two (20 April) due to an
anticipated Solar Sector Boundary Crossing. A return to mostly quiet
conditions is expected on day three (21 April).
