:Product: 0723RSGA.txt :Issued: 2008 Jul 23 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 205 Issued at 2200Z on 23 Jul 2008 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 22/2100Z to 23/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Region 1000 (S12W44) is spotless. No flares occurred during the past 24 hours. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 22/2100Z to 23/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was at quiet to minor storm levels. The solar wind speed continues elevated to a range of 620 to 650 km/s. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at high levels today. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly unsettled during day one (24 July), and quiet on days two and three (25, 26 July). The effects of the high speed stream from the coronal hole should diminish during the latter part of the forecast period. III.
