Weekly Bulletin on Solar and Geomagnetic Activity Highlights on 16 - 21.09.2013, Forecast on 22 - 30.09.2013, Carrington Rotation 2041, 2142 (31,87.08; 28.14.09.2013) SUNSPOT-FORMING ACTIVITY OF THE SUN CHANGED AT THE LOW TO THE AVE- RAGE LEVELS. WEEKLY, THE AVERAGE OF SUNSPOT NUMBER IN THE INTERNATI- ONAL SYSTEM WAS MADE W=041+10/-27. ON THE VISIBLE SOLAR DISK CONS- TANTLY THERE WERE 2 - 7 QUITE SMALL SUNSPOT GROUPS. 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 = 040+20/-10. FLARE ACTIVITY WAS FOR AT A VERY LOW LEVEL ON 16.09 AND THE LOW - IN OTHER DAYS. DURING THE CONSIDERED PERIOD 8 DSF WERE OBSERVED. BY SOHO AND STEREO CORONOGRAPHS DATA THERE WERE OBSERVED 28 CME FROM WHICH FOUR WERE THE "PARTIAL HALO II" TYPE. -------------------------------------------------------------------- FLARES to tm te c/p local.
