:Product: 0203RSGA.txt :Issued: 2012 Feb 03 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 034 Issued at 2200Z on 03 Feb 2012 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 02/2100Z to 03/2100Z: Solar activity was at very low levels. The disk and limb was quiet and stable with no Earth-directed CMEs observed during the period. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low to low for the next three days (04 - 06 February). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 02/2100Z to 03/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels with isolated high latitude active periods due to the waning effects of a geoeffective coronal hole high speed stream. During the period, ACE satellite observations indicated wind speeds averaged about 425 km/s while the Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field varied between +/- 5 nT. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at mostly quiet levels for the next three days (04 - 06 February). III.
