Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity SDF Number 211 Issued at 2200Z on 29 Jul 2008
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 28/2100Z to 29/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. The visible disk is spotless. No flares occurred during the past 24 hours.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 28/2100Z to 29/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet. The solar wind speed at ACE declined from 440 km/s to 380 km/s.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet on days one and two (30-31 July) and quiet to unsettled on day three (1 August) due to a solar sector boundary crossing.
