Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 057 Issued at 2200Z on 26 Feb 2001
IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  25/2100Z
to 26/2100Z:  Solar activity was low.  An optically uncorrelated C1
x-ray flare occurred at 26/0741 UTC.  The probable source for this
event was observed by SOHO/LASCO from behind the west limb.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low.
IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 25/2100Z to 26/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled.  An isolated period of
active conditions occurred at 26/1800 UTC.  A slight proton
enhancement was observed which was probably associated with the
event which occurred behind the limb earlier today.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled for the forecast period.
