Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 173 Issued at 2200Z on 21 Jun 2004
IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  20/2100Z
to 21/2100Z:  Solar activity was at low levels today.  Region 635
(S12W14) produced the largest flare of the period, a C2/Sf flare at
21/1716Z.  There was a slight decay seen in the sunspot area today. 
The delta magnetic structure in the trailing portion of Region 635
remains intact.  Region 634 (N12W31) also underwent slight decay in
sunspot coverage today although the region retains a
beta-gamma-delta magnetic structure.  Region 637 (N08E63) was
numbered today.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to be at
low to moderate levels.  Regions 635 remains capable of producing
M-class flare activity.
IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 20/2100Z to 21/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  The geomagnetic field is
expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels throughout the period.
