Report of Solar-Geophysical Activity
Issued: 2007 Aug 16 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 228 Issued at 2200Z on 16 Aug 2007
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 15/2100Z
to 16/2100Z: Solar activity remains at very low levels. There was no
activity of note in the past 24 hours.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to continue
at very low levels.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 15/2100Z to 16/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels. Enhanced
solar wind flow from a coronal hole produced occasional unsettled
periods.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled with isolated active periods at
high latitudes. A coronal hole currently near disk center will
rotate into geoeffective position on 19 August and produce
occasional unsettled to active levels.
