Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 308 Issued at 2200Z on 03 Nov 2008

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 02/2100Z to 03/2100Z: Solar activity was low. Region 1007 (N35W38) produced a C1.6 flare at 1119Z. Region 1007 is a beta magnetic configuration and has grown slightly from approximately 20 millionths to 80 millionths.

IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low to low. Region 1007 has a chance of producing a C-class flare.

IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 02/2100Z to 03/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels during the period.

IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly quiet for the next three days (04-06 November).
