:Product: 0211RSGA.txt :Issued: 2008 Feb 11 2203 UTC # Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, # Space Weather Prediction Center and the U.S. Air Force. # Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity SDF Number 042 Issued at 2200Z on 11 Feb 2008 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 10/2100Z to 11/2100Z: Solar activity was at very low levels. The visible solar disk remained spotless. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain at very low levels. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 10/2100Z to 11/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was at unsettled to active levels due to the continued influence of a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream. Solar wind speed at the ACE spacecraft reached a maximum of approximately 760 km/s at 11/0825Z. At the end of the summary period wind speed had declined to below 680 km/s. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels today. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at mostly unsettled levels throughout the forecast period (12-14 February). Isolated periods of active conditions at middle latitudes and minor storm levels at high latitudes are possible all three days, due to continued effects of the high speed stream. III.
