Solar activity report
Report of Solar-Geophysical Activity 2002 Feb 07 2200 UTCPrepared by the NOAA © SWPC and processed by SpaceWeatherLive.com
Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 038 Issued at 2200Z on 07 Feb 2002IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 06-2100Z to 07-2100Z
Solar activity was low. Region 9815 (N12E17) produced
a C4 flare at 07/1337 UTC with associated discrete radio bursts at
the lower frequencies. Minor C-Class flares represent the only
other activity on the disc. Region 9802 (S14W80) has decayed to a
small beta group as it rotates beyond the west limb. One new region
was numbered today: Region 9820 (N15E46).
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be at
low levels with the a chance of an isolated M-class event from
region 9802 as it rotates beyond the west limb.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 06-2100Z to 07-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to active levels. Greater than 2
MeV electrons at geosynchronous orbit were enhanced to moderate
levels.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be at quiet to active on day one of the forecast period.
Day two and three are expected to be quiet to unsettled as the
effects of the coronal hole diminish.
