:Product: 0213RSGA.txt :Issued: 2008 Feb 13 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 044 Issued at 2200Z on 13 Feb 2008 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 12/2100Z to 13/2100Z: 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 12/2100Z to 13/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was at quiet to active levels, due to continued effects from a coronal hole high speed stream. Solar wind speed at the ACE spacecraft reached a maximum of approximately 690 km/s at 13/1110Z. By the end of the summary period wind speed had declined to around 620 km/s. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached high levels again today. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at mostly unsettled levels, with possible isolated active conditions on all three days (14 - 16 February), due to continued influence from the coronal hole.
