Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 327 Issued at 2200Z on 23 Nov 2005
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 22/2100Z to 23/2100Z: Solar activity was at very low levels. Regions 822 (S07W63) and 824 (S14E32) have been quiescent. No new regions were numbered today.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be at very low to low levels.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 22/2100Z to 23/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels. A weak shock was observed by ACE at approximately 22/2100 UTC. Following the shock, the solar wind briefly reached a maximum speed of about 500 km/s and the IMF turned southward to about -5 nT.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels.
