Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 16/2100Z to 17/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. The disk remains spotless. No flares were observed. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 16/2100Z to 17/2100Z: Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet levels. The greater than 2MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels again today. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be quiet for the forecast period (18-20 March). III.
