:Product: 0314RSGA.txt :Issued: 2008 Mar 14 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 074 Issued at 2200Z on 14 Mar 2008 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 13/2100Z to 14/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain very low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 13/2100Z to 14/2100Z: The geomagnetic field ranged from quiet to active levels. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit remained at high levels. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly quiet on day 1 (15 March) in response to a slackening of the solar wind indicated by the STEREO Behind spacecraft. Quiet to unsettled levels return on days 2 and 3 (16-17 March) as the solar wind speeds approach 600 km/s. III.
