Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 045 Issued at 2200Z on 14 Feb 2001
IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  13/2100Z
to 14/2100Z:  Solar activity was low. A single C-class event
occurred, a C1/Sf from Region 9350 (N18E30), at 14/0618 UTC. Most of
the regions remained stable during the period.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to continue
to be low.
IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 13/2100Z to 14/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was at unsettled to active levels. The solar
wind speed remained in the 500 to 600 km/s range during most of the
period.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  The geomagnetic field is
expected to be mostly unsettled during the first half of the period
and then quiet to unsettled during the remainder.
