:Product: 1109RSGA.txt :Issued: 2008 Nov 09 2200 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 314 Issued at 2200Z on 09 Nov 2008 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 08/2100Z to 09/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. No flares were observed during the past 24 hours. The solar disk was void of spots. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 08/2100Z to 09/2100Z: The geomagnetic field ranged from quiet to active levels during the past 24 hours. Activity levels were initially quiet but increased to active levels from 0000-0600Z, then declined to unsettled levels from 0600-1200Z, and were quiet for the remainder of the interval. Solar wind observations at ACE indicate a gradual decline in solar wind velocity (day-end values were around 450 km/s) as the high-speed stream rotates out of geoeffective position. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels during the past 24 hours. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be predominantly quiet for the next three days (10-12 November). III.
