Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 205 Issued at 2200Z on 24 Jul 2009
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 23/2100Z
to 24/2100Z: Solar activity has been very low. No flares were
observed during the past 24 hours. The solar disk remains spotless.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very
low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 23/2100Z to 24/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled. Solar wind speeds
observed from the ACE spacecraft are averaging around 550 km/s with
minor IMF Bz fluctuations (+/-2nT).
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be predominately quiet for the next three days (25-27
July). Isolated unsettled conditions are expected for 26 July due
to a recurrent high speed stream.
