Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 141 Issued at 2200Z on 21 May 2011
IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  20/2100Z
to 21/2100Z:  Solar activity was very low.  Four magnetically simple,
unipolar regions were observed on the visible disk, Region 1216
(S15E01) was the largest.  New Region 1219 (N15E71)  rotated on the
east limb and was numbered today.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to remain
very low to low.  There is a slight chance of a C-class x-ray flare
during the next three days (22 May - 24 May).
IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 20/2100Z to 21/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet.  Solar wind speed measured at the
ACE spacecraft increased to about 400 km/.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet for the next three days (22 May - 24 May).
