Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 159 Issued at 2200Z on 08 Jun 2001
IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  07/2100Z
to 08/2100Z:  Solar activity was moderate due to a single M-class
event, an M1/Sf flare from newly numbered Region 9494 (S08W30) at
08/1927 UTC. This region was numbered early today and has already
developed into an 11 spot Dao spot group with a beta-gamma magnetic
classification. Region 9494 also produced a C7/Sf flare at 08/1603
UTC. Another event of significance was a C6/1n flare with an
accompanying Type II radio sweep (est. velocity of 600 km/s) at
08/0228 UTC. The rest of the disk and limbs were mostly quiet and
stable. Region 9495 (N04E24) was also numbered today.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to be
mostly low. Region 9454 is capable of producing isolated M-class
events during the forecast period.
IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 07/2100Z to 08/2100Z:
The geomagnetic filed was at mostly quiet to unsettled conditions.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  The geomagnetic filed is
expected to be quiet to unsettled.
