SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------
Solar activity became low. Region 7648 (N07W79) produced
a C1/SF at 0916Z. Another C1 occurred at 1612Z and was
coincident in time with the beginning of an active surge region
near NE05. The delta configuration in Region 7650 (N05W67)
appears to have faded.
Solar activity forecast: solar activity should continue
generally low with the emphasis shifting from the west limb
to the new region at the east limb. Due to the lack of
frequent burst activity, it is likely old Region 7640 will
not be as active this rotation as it was last rotation.
The geomagnetic field was generally unsettled to active.
Intermittent minor to major storm periods were observed at
some high latitude sites.
Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field
should continue unsettled to slightly active for 15-16 Jan.
High latitudes should expect isolated storm conditions.
Mostly unsettled levels are predicted for 17 Jan.
Event probabilities 15 jan-17 jan
Class M 20/20/20
Class X 01/01/01

HF propagation conditions were near-normal from the middle
to equatorial paths. Occasional minor signal degradation
persisted on higher latitude paths, particularly night-sector
transauroral circuits. Similar, if not gradually improving,
conditions are expected over the next 72 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.

CONFIDENCE LEVEL: 75%
NOTES:
Predicted geomagnetic activity is based heavily on recurrent
phenomena. Transient energetic solar events cannot be predicted reliably over
periods in excess of several days. Hence, there may be some deviations from
the predictions due to the unpredictable transient solar component.

This graph is determined by plotting the greater of either the planetary
A-index or the Boulder A-index. Graph lines are labelled according
to the severity of the activity which occurred on each day. The left-
hand column represents the associated A-Index for that day.
Q = Quiet, U = Unsettled, A = Active, M = Minor Storm,

NOTES:
The 10.7 cm solar radio flux is plotted from data reported
by the Penticton Radio Observatory (formerly the ARO from
Ottawa). High solar flux levels denote higher levels of
activity and a greater number of sunspot groups on the Sun.
The 90-day mean solar flux graph is charted from the 90-day
mean of the 10.7 cm solar radio flux.

NOTES:
These VHF DX prediction charts are defined for the 30 MHz to 220 MHz
bands. They are based primarily on phenomena which can affect VHF DX
propagation globally. They should be used only as a guide to potential
DX conditions on VHF bands. Latitudinal boundaries are the same as those for
the HF predictions charts.
