SOT report 12/11/2006
----------------------

Radiation:
- The ACE and GOES radiation levels have been continuing a slow but
  steady decline (but see below) since the last of large flares from 
  region 930.  That sunspot region has produced only minor C-class
  flares in the last 2.5 days.
- In the last 6 hours there is evidence for a sharp uptick in the softest
  ACE proton channels including P3.  The noisy signature initially looked
  like backscatter, but this may be real.
- Current rates support a return to science.
- Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low with a chance
  for M-class activity from Region 930.
- Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be
  quiet to active on 11 December. On 12 and 13 December, conditions are
  expected to be quiet to unsettled. The greater than 10 MeV proton event is
  expected to end in the next 24 to 48 hours.
