:Product: 1207RSGA.txt :Issued: 2008 Dec 07 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 342 Issued at 2200Z on 07 Dec 2008 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 06/2100Z to 07/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 06/2100Z to 07/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels. Observations at the ACE satellite indicate a continued slight influence from the coronal hole high speed stream. Solar wind speeds have ranged from 580 km/s down to 520 km/s during the past 24 hours. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at high levels. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be predominately quiet for the forecast period (08-10 December) as the high speed stream subsides. III.
