Report of Solar-Geophysical Activity
Issued: 2007 Sep 24 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 267 Issued at 2200Z on 24 Sep 2007


IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 23/2100Z
to 24/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. The visible solar disk
remains spotless.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very
low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 23/2100Z to 24/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field ranged from quiet to active with a period of
minor storming observed at middle latitudes. An elevated solar wind
speed due to a coronal hole high speed stream contributed to the
activity. Solar wind speed remains elevated at approximately 620
km/s at the time of issue. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at
geosynchronous orbit reached high levels today.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled with a chance for active periods
on 25 September due to the ongoing coronal hole high speed stream.
Expect quiet to unsettled conditions on 26 - 27 September.
