:Product: 0322RSGA.txt :Issued: 2009 Mar 22 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 081 Issued at 2200Z on 22 Mar 2009 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 21/2100Z to 22/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. No flares or sunspots were observed during the past 24 hours. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 21/2100Z to 22/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was predominantly quiet. Unsettled conditions were observed at mid-latitudes between 22/03-06Z. The continued influence of the recurrent coronal hole is reflected in ACE solar wind observations. Velocities ranged between 386-472 km/s, and interplanetary Bz ranged from -3 nT to +7 nT. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be predominantly quiet for the next three days (23-25 March). III.
