Report of Solar-Geophysical Activity
Issued: 2007 Sep 03 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 246 Issued at 2200Z on 03 Sep 2007
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 02/2100Z
to 03/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Only one low-level
B-class flare was observed during the past 24 hours.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very
low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 02/2100Z to 03/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was predominantly quiet to unsettled. A single
period of active conditions was observed at the Boulder magnetometer
between 03/1200-1500Z. Real-time solar wind speed at ACE remains
elevated at approximately 645 km/sec at forecast issue time due to
the lingering effects of the coronal hole high speed stream. The
greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached
high levels again today.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled on 04 August. Quiet conditions
are expected on 05 August. Expect quiet to active conditions to
return on 06 August, with isolated minor storm periods possible at
high latitudes, as a recurrent coronal hole moves into a
geoeffective position.
