Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 172 Issued at 2200Z on 21 Jun 2009
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 20/2100Z
to 21/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. No flares were observed.
New Region 1022 (S27E15) was numbered during the period. The region
emerged on the disk as a 2-spot, bi-polar Bxo beta spot group. The
region has been quiet and stable.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain
at very low levels for the next three days (22 – 24 June).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 20/2100Z to 21/2100Z:
The geomagetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels. A brief
period of sustained negative Bz, from about 20/2100Z to 21/0200Z,
resulted in unsettled geomagnetic conditions observed at all
latitudes.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be mostly quiet for the next three days (22 – 24 June).
