Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 194 Issued at 2200Z on 13 Jul 2001
IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  12/2100Z
to 13/2100Z:  Solar activity was at very low conditions. Regions 9533
(S09W26) and 9539 (S19E11) produced sporadic minor activity during
the period. Two new regions were numbered: 9540 (N13E42) and 9541
(N16E69). Overall, the sun was mostly quiet and stable.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to continue
to be very low to low.
IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 12/2100Z to 13/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled conditions.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  The geomagnetic field is
expected to be at mostly quiet to unsettled conditions. Isolated
active conditions may be possible, starting on the third day, due to
a potentially favorably positioned coronal hole.
