Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 342 Issued at 2200Z on 07 Dec 2008


IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 06/2100Z
to 07/2100Z: Solar activity was very low.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very
low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 06/2100Z to 07/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels. Observations
at the ACE satellite indicate a continued slight influence from the
coronal hole high speed stream. Solar wind speeds have ranged from
580 km/s down to 520 km/s during the past 24 hours. The greater
than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at high levels.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be predominately quiet for the forecast period (08-10
December) as the high speed stream subsides.
