Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 353 Issued at 2200Z on 19 Dec 2011
IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  18/2100Z
to 19/2100Z:  Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past
24  hours. A total of 9 numbered regions populate the visible disk.
Regions 1376 (N19W31) has been the most active region in the past
few days. The largest flare of the period was a B8 x-ray event at
1413Z from Region 1376. Both Regions 1381 (S18E10) and 1382 (S18E18)
continue to grow and evolve and remain the most magnetically complex
regions on the disk. Regions 1383 (N04E68) was numbered early in the
period.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to be at
predominantly low levels for the next three days (20 - 22 December).
IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 18/2100Z to 19/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  The geomagnetic field is
expected to be remain at quiet levels for the next three days (20 -
22 December). Even though quiet conditions are expected, a small
coronal hole high speed stream is expected to become geoeffective on
day 1 (20 December).
