Region 7624 (N04W28) was responsible for three C-class flares including the largest of the period, a C5/1N at 01/0419UT. This region grew rapidly and also produced a number of B-class and subfaint flares through the period. Region 7627 (S07E57) is also growing at a good pace and produced a single C3/SF flare at 01/0705UT. Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be low. Region 7624 and 7627 both have good potential for C-class flaring and an outside chance of producing an isolated M-class flare. The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours at middle latitudes. High latitude stations saw minor to severe storming during the last half of the period. The activity is most likely the result of a well positioned coronal hole. Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is expected to be unsettled to minor storm at middle latitudes and minor to severe storm levels at high latitudes for the next 24 hours. Activity is then expected to be mostly unsettled to active for the remainder of the forecast period. Event probabilities 02 dec-04 dec Class M 15/15/15 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF Green Geomagnetic activity probabilities 02 dec-04 dec A. Middle Latitudes Active 15/20/30 Minor Storm 30/20/20 Major-Severe Storm 20/20/20 B. High Latitudes Active 20/20/30 Minor Storm 20/15/15 Major-Severe Storm 45/25/25 HF propagation conditions were not as significantly affected during the day as was previously forecasted due to the fact that the disturbance, which arrived near 12:00 UTC, failed to produce anticipated levels of geomagnetic activity. However, moderate to occasionally strong signal degradation was reported over the night-sector high and polar latitude paths with effects migrating as expected into the upper middle and some central-middle latitude paths. MUFs have decreased by up to 30 percent over many regions, with fading, multipathing, and absorption common causes of signal degradation. Conditions are expected to continue below-normal over the next 24 to 48 hours.

NOTES: All times are in Universal Time (UT). Characters preceding begin, max, and end times are defined as: B = Before, U = Uncertain, A = After. All times associated with x-ray flares (ex. flares which produce associated x-ray bursts) refer to the begin, max, and end times of the x-rays. Flares which are not associated with x-ray signatures use the optical observations to determine the begin, max, and end times. Acronyms used to identify sweeps and optical phenomena include: II = Type II Sweep Frequency Event III = Type III Sweep IV = Type IV Sweep V = Type V Sweep Continuum = Continuum Radio Event Loop = Loop Prominence System, Spray = Limb Spray, Surge = Bright Limb Surge, EPL = Eruptive Prominence on the Limb. ** End of Daily Report ** ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 Dec 1993 07:45:38 GMT From: ucsnews!sol.ctr.columbia.edu!howland.reston.ans.net!usenet.ins.cwru.edu!nshore!fmsystm.telemax.com!andrews@network.ucsd.edu Subject: Wanted|Mailing lists To: info-hams@ucsd.edu Hello all, I am still in the never ending search for more mailing lists.
