--- Begin Message ---Solar flares expected to disturb radio and satellite communication / navigation ======================================================= Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Environment Center and the U.S. Air Force. Updated 2005 Jan 16 2210 UTC Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity SDF Number 016 Issued at 2200Z on 16 Jan 2005 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 15/2100Z to 16/2100Z: Solar activity was high. Region 720 (N13W15) produced several flares throughout the day. The largest was an X2/3B at 15/2302 UTC. This flare was associated with significant radio output that included 6400 sfu at 2695 MHz and type II/IV radio sweeps. There was also an asymmetric full halo CME associated with this event. The region remains large and magnetically complex, showing little structural changes since this major flare. New Regions 721 (S03E14) and 722 (N19E04) were numbered. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be high to very high. Region 720 appears capable of additional major flares. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 15/2100Z to 16/2100Z: The geomagnetic field ranged from quiet to active levels. A proton event at greater than 10 MeV began at 16/0210 UTC in response to the X2 flare mentioned in Part IA and remains in progress. Peak flux observed so far was 312 pfu at 16/1935 UTC. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was high. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field activity is expected to increase to major to severe storm levels within the next several hours with the arrival of the first of at least two expected CMEs generated over the past few days by Region 720. The proton event is expected to continue in progress. III. Event Probabilities 17 Jan-19 Jan * Class M 80/80/80 * Class X 30/30/30 * Proton 99/80/75 * PCAF in progress IV.
