Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 185 Issued at 2200Z on 04 Jul 2010
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 03/2100Z
to 04/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Region 1084 (S19W32) was
quiet and stable. A new, emerging flux region was observed near
N19W38.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain
at very low levels for the next three days (05 – 07 July).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 03/2100Z to 04/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet. Solar wind velocity was steady at
about 600 km/s through 04/0700Z when speeds gradually decayed to
near 500 km/s by the end of the summary period. The greater than 2
MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels during
the past 24 hours.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be mostly quiet for the next three days (05 – 07 July).
