Weekly Bulletin on Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
              Highlights on 15- 21.01.2018,
               Forecast on 22 - 29.01.2018,
Carrington Rotation 2199, 2200 (30,94.12.2017; 27,28.01.2018)
          Earth above the ecliptic (0.0 - -0.7) deg. 
             (S30 - N30 is geoeffectiveness zone)

SUNSPOT-FORMING ACTIVITY WAS ON THE VERY LOW LEVEL AND THE SUN 
WAS SPOTLESS 20-21.01 (8 DAYS - IN 2018).  THE ESTIMATED, MOST 
LIKELY WEEKLY AVERAGE VALUE OF THE RELATIVE SUNSPOT NUMBER  IN 
THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM (old) FOR THE PERIOD W = 005+4/-5 (Wn 
= 008+4/-8). ON THE VISIBLE SOLAR DISK ONE SMALL AND QUITE SUN-
SPOT GROUP HAVE BEEN OBSERVED.

 NEXT WEEK THE LEVEL OF SUNSPOT ACTIVITY  WITH HIGH PROBABILITY 
WILL BE ON THE VERY LOW LEVEL. WITH A GRATE PROBABILITY, WE ARE 
WAITING FOR THE NEXT WEEK  OF THE SPOTLESS SUN.  LIKELY  WEEKLY 
AVERAGE VALUE OF THE RELATIVE SUNSPOT NUMBER IN THE INTERNATIO-
NAL SYSTEM (old) FOR THE NEXT WEEK IS W = 010+10/-10.  

 THE FLARE ACTIVITY  WAS AT THE VERY LOW LEVEL. ONE EJECTION OF 
SOLAR FILAMENT AND ONE CORONAL MASS EJECTION HAVE BEEN OBSERVED.

Last CH - from south polar CH family.
Sch - CH Square in Mm**2 (in square megameters) near the central meri-
dian on http://sdowww.lmsal.com/suntoday/; n/d - no data;
R - solar rotations; EE-date of possible geomag. disturbance in the 
Earth's environment. G(0-5)-geoeffectivity in last solar rotation on
the middle latitudes. A-active geomagnetic condition.

AFTER 18.01/17 UT THE EARTH IS IN "-" SECTOR OF THE INTERPLANETARY MAG-
NETIC FIELD. NEXT SECTOR BOUNDARY -/+ EARTH SHOULD BE PASSED 0N 28.01.

THE GREATER THAN 2 MeV ELECTRON FLUX AT GEOSYNCHRONOUS ORBIT HAS NOT 
OBSERVED. 
 
NEXT WEEK THE GREATER THAN 2 MeV ELECTRON FLUX AT GEOSYNCHRONOUS OR-
BIT IS EXPECTED 16-20.01.

GEOMAGNETIC CONDITION WAS UNSETTLED AND QUIET IN THE PERIOD.  

NEXT WEEK THE GEOMAGNETIC CONDITION IS EXPECTED UNSETTLED AND  QUIET.
