:Product: 1125RSGA.txt :Issued: 2008 Nov 25 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 330 Issued at 2200Z on 25 Nov 2008 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 24/2100Z to 25/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. No flares were observed during the past 24 hours. The visible disk remained spotless. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 24/2100Z to 25/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was predominantly unsettled. Solar wind observations from the ACE spacecraft indicated the onset of a recurrent coronal hole high-speed stream. Solar wind velocities gradually increased from 285 km/s to 619 km/s during the period. The interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) Bt reached a peak of 24 nT early in the period. The IMF Bz ranged from +18 to -15 nT. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be predominantly unsettled with isolated active periods possible on 26 November. Isolated periods of minor storm conditions at high latitudes are also possible on 26 November. Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected on 27 November. Conditions will return to quiet on 28 November as the coronal hole high speed subsides. III. Event Probabilities 26 Nov-28 Nov Class M 01/01/01 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF Green IV.
