Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 329 Issued at 2200Z on 25 Nov 2007

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 24/2100Z to 25/2100Z: Solar activity was very low.

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 from the Ace spacecraft show continued presence of the recurrent coronal hole high speed stream. Solar wind velocity averaged between 580-620 km/s with Bz fluctuations +/- 4 nT. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels.

IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled on 26 November with quiet levels returning on 27-28 November.
