Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity SDF Number 173 Issued at 2200Z on 21 Jun 2008

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 20/2100Z to 21/2100Z: Solar activity was at very low levels. Region 999 (S02W08) remained stable over the period.

IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain at very low levels.

IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 20/2100Z to 21/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was at mostly quiet levels. Solar wind velocities gradually decayed from a peak of near 600 km/s at the beginning of the period to about 500 km/s at forecast issue time.

IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at mostly quiet levels for the forecast period (22 to 24 June).
