FROM SPACE ENVIRONMENT SERVICES CENTER, BOULDER, COLORADO
SDF NUMBER 195
JOINT USAF/NOAA REPORT OF SOLAR AND GEOPHYSICAL ACTIVITY.
ISSUED 2200Z 13 JUL 1988
IA. ANALYSIS OF SOLAR ACTIVE REGIONS AND ACTIVITY FROM 12/2100Z
TO 13/2100Z: SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW TO MODERATE. REGIONS 5073
(N28W16) AND 5075 (S20E53) COMBINED TO GENERATE AN M1 X-RAY
EVENT AT 0032Z. THE H-ALPHA FLARES WERE CATEGORIZED AS
ONE-NORMAL FROM REGION 5073 AND SUB-NORMAL FROM 5075. EACH
REGION HAS PRODUCED OCCASIONAL SUBFLARES SINCE. REGION 5071
(N24W08), ADJACENT TO REGION 5073, HAS ALSO YIELDED PERIODIC
SUBFLARES. THE WHOLE-SUN BACKGROUND X-RAY FLUX CONTINUES TO
HOVER NEAR THE C-LEVEL. STRUCTURALLY REGION 5075 IS THE MOST
INTERESTING OF THE LOT. IT CONSISTS OF A LARGE LEADER SPOT
-VISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE- AND APPROXIMATELY 20 LESSER SPOTS.
MAGNETICALLY IT IS A BETA-DELTA WITH BOTH POLARITIES ENCLOSED
IN A COMMON PENUMBRA IN THE SOUTH-CENTRAL PORTION OF THE GROUP.
THAT LOCATION WAS THE SITE OF MUCH OF THE RECENT ACTIVITY. THE
LIMBS WERE QUIET THROUGHOUT THE INTERVAL.
IB. SOLAR ACTIVITY FORECAST: SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE LOW TO MODERATE. ISOLATED M-CLASS EVENTS ARE
LIKELY FROM REGION 5075.
IIA. GEOPHYSICAL ACTIVITY SUMMARY FROM 12/2100Z TO 13/2100Z:
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD HAS BEEN MOSTLY QUIET AT MID-LATITUDES.
UNSETTLED TO ACTIVE CONDITIONS WERE THE RULE AT HIGH
LATITUDE SITES.
IIB. GEOPHYSICAL ACTIVITY FORECAST: THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS
EXPECTED TO BE QUIET TO UNSETTLED AT MID-LATITUDES. ACTIVE
CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED AT HIGH LATITUDES.
