Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 170 Issued at 2200Z on 19 Jun 2001
IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  18/2100Z
to 19/2100Z:  Solar activity decreased to low levels. Isolated,
optically uncorrelated, low-level C-class x-ray flares occurred. An
optically uncorrelated Type II radio sweep (estimated shock velocity
650 km/sec) occurred at 19/0335 UTC. Regions 9503 (N15W07) and 9506
(N18E20) each possessed a minor degree of magnetic complexity, but
were stable through the period. The remaining regions were
simply-structured and stable. New Region 9509 (S10W03) was numbered.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to be low
to moderate. There will be a fair chance for an isolated M-class
flare during the period.
IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 18/2100Z to 19/2100Z:
Geomagnetic field activity ranged from quiet to active levels.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  Geomagnetic field activity is
expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels with a chance for active
periods early on the first day.
