Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 176 Issued at 2200Z on 25 Jun 2009
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 24/2100Z
to 25/2100Z: Solar activity has been very low. No flares occurred
during the past 24 hours. Region 1023 (S23W14) has decayed to
spotless plage. Consequently the entire solar disk is now void of
spots.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very
low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 24/2100Z to 25/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled. Solar wind
observations indicated the presence of a high speed stream from a
coronal hole. Solar wind velocities were slowly declining towards
the end of the period.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet for the next two days (26-27 June). An
increase to predominately unsettled levels with a chance for
isolated active periods is expected on the third day (28 June) in
response to a favorably positioned coronal hole.
