Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 159 Issued at 2200Z on 07 Jun 2008
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 06/2100Z to 07/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. No flares were detected. The visible disk remained spotless.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 06/2100Z to 07/2100Z: Geomagnetic field activity ranged from quiet to unsettled levels. ACE solar wind data indicated the unsettled levels were due to increased solar wind velocities and IMF changes associated with a solar sector boundary crossing at around 07/0900Z (away to toward orientation). Velocities reached a peak of 551 km/sec at 07/1604Z, then gradually decreased. IMF changes included increased Bt (peak reading 10 nT at 07/0856Z) and mostly southward Bz after 07/0530Z (minimum -7 nT at 07/0652Z).
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at mostly quiet levels through the period (08 – 10 June).
