:Product: 0716RSGA.txt :Issued: 2010 Jul 16 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 197 Issued at 2200Z on 16 Jul 2010 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 15/2100Z to 16/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Region 1087 (N20W19) has shown little change during the past 24 hours with only low-level B-class activity. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low with a slight chance for a C-class flare from Region 1087. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 15/2100Z to 16/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was predominantly quiet with one isolated period of unsettled conditions during the period. Solar wind observations from the ACE spacecraft show a continued decline in solar wind speeds with an average below 400 km/s. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels for the next three days (17-19 July). III.
