Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 242 Issued at 2200Z on 29 Aug 2012
IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  28/2100Z
to 29/2100Z:  Solar activity was low. The largest flare of the period
was a C4 at 29/1958Z from a region just around the southeast limb. 
Region 1560 (N04E36) a Dao-beta type group was numbered today.  No
Earth-directed CMEs were observed.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low with a slight chance for moderate activity for the next
three days (30 August - 01 September).
IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 28/2100Z to 29/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux
at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels during the period.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  The geomagnetic field is
expected to be predominately quiet on day 1 (30 August). Days 2 and
3 (31 August - 01 September) are expected to be quiet to unsettled
with a slight chance for active conditions due to effects from a
coronal hole high speed stream.
