Report of Solar-Geophysical Activity

Issued: 2006 Jun 01 2200 UTC

Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, # Space Environment Center and the U.S. Air Force.

 

Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity SDF Number 152 Issued at 2200Z on 01 Jun 2006 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 31/2100Z to 01/2100Z: Solar activity was very low.

IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain very low.

IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 31/2100Z to 01/2100Z:

The geomagnetic field was quiet to active. Solar wind speed has been steadily increasing over the past 24 hours, rising from approximately 400 km/s to approximately 550 km/s, indicating the onset of the coronal hole high speed stream.

IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be unsettled to active on 02 - 03 June with possible minor storm periods due to the coronal hole high speed stream.

Expect quiet to unsettled conditions on 04 June.
