| Report of Solar-Geophysical Activity Issued: 2008 Feb 11 2200 UTC
 Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA,
 Space Weather Prediction Center and the U.S. Air Force.
 
 Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
 SDF Number 042 Issued at 2200Z on 11 Feb 2008
 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 10/2100Z
 to 11/2100Z: Solar activity was at very low levels. The visible
 solar disk remained spotless.
 IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain
 at very low levels.
 IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 10/2100Z to 11/2100Z:
 The geomagnetic field was at unsettled to active levels due to the
 continued influence of a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream.
 Solar wind speed at the ACE spacecraft reached a maximum of
 approximately 760 km/s at 11/0825Z. At the end of the summary
 period wind speed had declined to below 680 km/s. 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 at mostly unsettled levels throughout the forecast
 period (12-14 February). Isolated periods of active conditions at
 middle latitudes and minor storm levels at high latitudes are
 possible all three days, due to continued effects of the high speed
 stream.
