Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 325 Issued at 2200Z on 20 Nov 2004
IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  19/2100Z
to 20/2100Z:  Solar activity was very low today.  Region 704 (N12E51)
has shown slight growth in area.  No new regions were numbered
today.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low.
IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 19/2100Z to 20/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet to active.  Active periods were due
to the effects of sustained periods of southward Bz.  Solar wind
speed at ACE showed an increase from 450 km/s to 550 km/s at
approximately 1600 UTC.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled.
