Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 068 Issued at 2200Z on 08 Mar 2008
IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  07/2100Z
to 08/2100Z:  Solar activity was very low. The visible disk is
spotless.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to continue
at very low levels.
IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 07/2100Z to 08/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet to active. The greater than 2 MeV
electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels again
today.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  The geomagnetic field is
expected to range from quiet to active with isolated minor storm
periods possible on day one (09 March). Isolated major storm periods
are possible at high latitudes during this period. The increase in
activity is due to a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream. 
Quiet to active levels are expected on days two and three (10-11
March) as the effects of the coronal hole high speed stream begin to
wane.
