Weekly Bulletin on Solar and Geomagnetic Activity Highlights on 7 - 13.04.2014 ç., Forecast on 14 - 21.04.2014, Carrington Rotation 2149 (7.36.04.2014) SUNSPOT-FORMING ACTIVITY REMINDER AT THE MODERATE LEVEL. AVERAGE OF SUNSPOT NUMBER IN THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM WAS MADE W=054+10 /-10. ON THE VISIBLE SOLAR DISK CONSTANTLY OBSERVED 7 - 5 SMALL SUNSPOT GROUPS, ALL QUITE. NEXT WEEK IS EXPECTED THE MODERATE AND THE LOW LEVELS OF SUNSPOT FORMING ACTIVITY. ESTIMATED MOST LIKELY WEEKLY AVERAGE VALUE OF RELATIVE SUNSPOT NUMBER IN THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM FOR THE NEXT WEEK IS EXPECTED W=050+10/-10. FLARE ACTIVITY WAS AT THE LOW LEVEL. WITHIN THE PERIOD WERE OB- SERVED 3 SOLAR FILAMENT EJECTIONS (NON GEOEFFCTIVE). BY SOHO AND STEREO CORONOGRAPHS DATA THERE WERE OBSERVED 39 CME, ONE OF WHICH WAS THE "PARTIAL HALO III" TYPE AND 2-THE TYPE "PARTIAL HALO II". ----------------------------------------------------------------- FLARES to tm te c/p local.

THE GREATER THAN 2 MeV ELECTRON FLUX AT GEOSTATIONARY ORBIT VERY HIGH LEVEL NOT OBSERVED. THE GREATER THAN 2 MeV ELECTRON FLUX AT GEOSTATIONARY ORBIT VERY HIGH LEVEL NOT EXPECTED. GEOMAGNETIC CONDITIONS REMAIN QUITE AND UNSETTLED. HOWEVER, ON APRIL 12 THE EARTH PASSED OVER HIGH-SPEED STREAM FROM THE SOLAR CORONAL HOLE OF THE SOLAR NORTHERN HEMISPHERE. GEOMAGNETIC CONDITIONS BECAME ACTIVE. AC- CORDING TO THE IZMIRAN DATA IS REGISTERED 6-hour SUBSTORM BY THE INTEN- SITY G1. AT THE SAME TIME ACCORDING TO THE DATA OF CENTER IN BOULDER THIS WAS THE 9-hour SUBSTORM OF INTENSITY G1. NEXT WEEK THE GEOMAGNETIC CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED UNSETTLED AND QUIET.
