:Product: 0628RSGA.txt :Issued: 2009 Jun 28 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 179 Issued at 2200Z on 28 Jun 2009 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 27/2100Z to 28/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. No flares were detected. The visible disk was spotless. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 27/2100Z to 28/2100Z: Geomagnetic field activity ranged from quiet to active levels. Active levels occurred after 28/1700Z. ACE solar wind data indicated the active levels were associated with periods of increased velocities (peak 426 km/sec at 28/2042Z), sustained southward IMF Bz (minimum -12 nT at 28/1917Z), and enhanced IMF Bt (peak 12 nT at 28/1918Z); all of which were associated with a favorably positioned coronal hole. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at predominantly quiet levels with a chance for unsettled levels through the period (29 June - 01 July). III.
