Only one C-class flare occurred during the period which was not correlated optically with any region. A 5 degree filament near S30E42 disappeared between 25/0027Z and 25/1421Z and an 11 degree filament disappeared between 25/0810Z and 25/0824Z near N11W71. A new region was assigned today as Region 7679 (N02E25). STD: Moderate Ca XV emissions were observed on the northwest limb from the same area which had extremely intense emissions two weeks ago. A full-disk Yohkoh x-ray image has been appended to this report showing the location of the enhanced west-limb x-ray emissions and the associated location of the Ca XV emissions. Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be low. The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to unsettled levels for the past 24 hours. An isolated period of active levels occurred during the nighttime sectors at mid-latitudes with minor to major storm levels at high-latitudes. Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled through the period. Event probabilities 26 feb-28 feb Class M 05/05/05 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF Green Geomagnetic activity probabilities 26 feb-28 feb A. Middle Latitudes Active 15/15/15 Minor Storm 05/05/05 Major-Severe Storm 01/01/01 B. High Latitudes Active 20/20/20 Minor Storm 10/10/10 Major-Severe Storm 05/05/05 HF propagation conditions were near-normal over all regions. A brief period of enhanced activity between 06:00 and 12:00 UTC resulted in minor signal degradation for affected high-latitude paths, although conditions improved to normal thereafter. Normal propagation conditions will persist throughout the next 72 hours, through 28 February inclusive.

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.

Box 357, Stirling, Alberta, Canada T0K 2E0 Accessible BBS System: (403) 756-3008 --------- ANNOUNCEMENT: The Solar Terrestrial Dispatch is pleased to announce the release of a major HF and refractive-VHF propagation software package known as SKYCOM. It is a MUST-HAVE for anyone involved in ionospheric radio communications. This significant software package will analyze almost every ionospheric parameter relavent to radio communications and will analyze the behavior and characteristics of signals that pass between any two points on the Earth and under almost any type of geophysical condition (geomagnetic storming, solar flares, polar cap absorption, etc). Graphically ray trace signals through a real model of the ionosphere, generate extensive global ionospheric "weather" maps, produce broadcast coverage maps, and MUCH more. The list of available functions is far too large to list here. For more information, contact "Oler@Rho.Uleth.CA", or "COler@Solar.Stanford.Edu". Pricing information can be obtained from the e-mail address above, by writing to us through postal mail, or by calling the recorded message at: 403-756-2386 (approx. 3 min). A special offer applies until 31 March 1994. --------- SOLAR AND GEOPHYSICAL ACT ---------------------------------------------------- |10.7 cm|HF Propagation +/- CON|SID AU.BKSR DX| Mag| Aurora | |SolrFlx|LO MI HI PO SWF %MUF %|ENH LO MI HI LO MI HI %|K Ap|LO MI HI| --|-------|-----------------------|-------------------------|----|--------| 25| 098 |VG G F F 15 -10 75| 15 NA NA NA 00 05 15 35|2 10|NV NV LO| 26| 093 |VG G F F 15 -10 75| 15 NA NA NA 00 05 15 35|2 08|NV NV LO| 27| 090 |VG G F F 15 -05 75| 15 NA NA NA 00 05 15 35|2 08|NV NV LO| 28| 090 |VG G F F 15 -05 75| 15 NA NA NA 00 05 15 35|2 08|NV NV LO| 01| 090 |VG G F F 15 00 70| 15 NA NA NA 01 10 15 35|3 12|NV NV LO| 02| 090 |VG G F F 15 00 70| 15 NA NA NA 01 10 15 35|2 10|NV NV LO| 03| 090 |VG G F F 15 00 70| 15 NA NA NA 01 10 20 35|3 12|NV NV LO| 04| 090 |VG F P P 15 -05 65| 15 NA NA NA 02 20 30 30|4 20|NV LO MO| 05| 090 | G P VP VP 15 -20 65| 15 NA NA NA 05 40 50 25|6 35|NV MO HI| 06| 090 | G P VP VP 15 -35 65| 15 NA NA NA 05 40 50 20|6 40|NV MO HI| PEAK PLANETARY 10-DAY GEOMAGNETIC ACT ________________________________________________________________________ | EXT | VERY SEVERE STORM | | | | | | | | | | | HIGH | | SEVERE STORM | | | | | | | | | | | MODERATE | | MAJOR STORM | | | | | | | | | * |** | LOW - MOD. | | MINOR STORM | | | | | | | | |***|***| LOW | | VERY ACT | ACT | UNSETTLED |** |** |** |** |***|***|***|***|***|***| NONE | | QUIET |***|***|***|***|***|***|***|***|***|***| NONE | | VERY QUIET |***|***|***|***|***|***|***|***|***|***| NONE | |-------------------|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|------------| | Geomagnetic Field |Fri|Sat|Sun|Mon|Tue|Wed|Thu|Fri|Sat|Sun| Anomaly | | Conditions | Given in 8-hour UT intervals | Intensity | |________________________________________________________________________| CONFIDENCE LEVEL: 65% NOTES: Predicted geomagnetic activity is based heavily on recurrent phenomena.

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.
