Weekly Bulletin on Solar and Geomagnetic Activity Highlights on 07 - 13.10.2013, Forecast on 14 - 21.10.2013, Carrington Rotation 2142 (28.14.09.2013) SUNSPOT-FORMING ACTIVITY OF THE SUN REMAINED AT THE AVERAGE LEVEL. WEEKLY, THE AVERAGE OF SUNSPOT NUMBER IN THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM WAS MADE W=066+17/-20. ON THE VISIBLE SOLAR DISK CONSTANTLY THERE WERE 4 - 8 SUNSPOT GROUPS ONE OF WHICH AR11861 (S13L164, Sp max = 380 m.v.h.). THE MODERATE SIZE, THE QUITE. NEXT WEEK THE LEVEL OF SUNSPOT ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE THE AVE- RAGE LEVEL. THE CALCULATED MOST LIKELY WEEKLY AVERAGE VALUE OF SUN- SPOT NUMBER IN THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM FOR THE NEXT WEEK IS EXPEC- TED W = 050+20/-20. FLARE ACTIVITY WAS FOR AT A AVERAGE LEVEL ON 9, 11 AND 13.10 AND THE LOW - IN OTHER DAYS. DURING THE CONSIDERED PERIOD 8 DSF WERE OBSERVED. BY SOHO AND STEREO CORONOGRAPHS DATA THERE WERE OBSERVED 42 CME FROM WHICH SIX WERE THE "PARTIAL HALO II" TYPE. -------------------------------------------------------------------- FLARES to tm te c/p local.

DISTURBANCE FROM FILAMENT EJECTION AT OCTOBER 5 REACHED ON ENVIRON- MENT SI-8.10/2023 UT AND CAUSED THE MINOR MAGNETIC STORM 8-9 OCTOBER (G1, Ams=34, dur. =12 h. ) ACCORDING TO IZMIRAN DATA AND (G1, Ams=41, dur.=18 h.) ACCORDING BOULDER SWPC CENTRE DATA. IN OTHER DAYS GEOMAG- NETIC CONDITION CHANGED FROM UNSETTLED TO QUIET. NEXT WEEK THE GEOMAGNETIC SITUATION IS EXPECTED QUIET AND UNSETTLED ALL DAYS. HOWEVER 14 - 15.10 GROWTH OF GEOMAGNETIC DISTURBANCE IS POS- SIBLE AT PASS BY EARTH OF THE HIGH-SPEED STREAM SOLAR WIND FROM NEAR EQUATORIAL CORONAL HOLE. PROBABILITY MAGNETIC STORM ABOUT 20%. THE GEOMAGNETIC SITUATION CHANGED FROM UNSETTLED TO QUITE ALL PERIOD. NEXT WEEK THE GEOMAGNETIC CONDITION IS EXPECTED QUIET AND UNSETTLED.
