Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 323 Issued at 2200Z on 19 Nov 2010
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 18/2100Z
to 19/2100Z: Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past
24 hours. All three visible active regions remained stable and
quiet. A filament disappeared near N30E41 at 18/1721Z. A
slow-moving, CME was detected at 18/2224Z by SOHO LASCO c2 imagery
and did not appear to be earth directed.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be at
very low levels for the next three days (20-22 November).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 18/2100Z to 19/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours.
Observations from the ACE spacecraft showed solar wind speeds
decreasing throughout the period, from 550km/s to 350 km/s, as the
effects of a coronal hole high-speed stream wane. 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 at quiet levels for the next three days (20-22
November).
