Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 303 Issued at 2200Z on 29 Oct 2004
IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  28/2100Z
to 29/2100Z:  Solar activity was low. As it has the past few days,
Region 693 (S14E46) produced numerous impulsive C-class flares. The
region continues to exhibit bright plage and maintains a degree of
magnetic complexity. Elsewhere, little else of significance
occurred.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to be low.
Region 693 should produce additional C-class activity.
IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 28/2100Z to 29/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet. An enhancement in the
southward component of the IMF brought brief intervals of unsettled
to active conditions.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  The geomagnetic field is
expected to persist at quiet to unsettled conditions for the next 72
hours.
