Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 221 Issued at 2200Z on 09 Aug 2009
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 08/2100Z
to 09/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. No flares were observed.
The visible disk remained spotless.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very
low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 08/2100Z to 09/2100Z:
Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet to unsettled levels. ACE
solar wind data indicated the unsettled conditions observed during
09/0300 - 0900Z were associated with a period of sustained southward
IMF Bz (minimum -4 nT at 09/0300Z). Solar wind velocities ranged
from 408 - 481 km/sec during the period.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: Geomagnetic field activity is
expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels with a chance for active
levels on day 1 (10 August) due to a recurrent coronal hole
high-speed stream. Activity is expected to decrease to quiet levels
during days 2 - 3 (11 -12 August) as the high-speed stream subsides.
