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 194 Issued at 2200Z on 13 Jul 2009


IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 12/2100Z
to 13/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. No flares were detected.
The visible disk remained spotless.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very
low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 12/2100Z to 13/2100Z:
Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet to unsettled levels. Field
activity increased to unsettled levels after 13/1200Z. ACE solar
wind data indicated a coronal hole high-speed stream commenced
around 13/1200Z. Velocities gradually increased after 13/1200Z and
reached a peak of 505 km/sec at 13/2029Z. Intermittent periods of
southward IMF Bz occurred beginning around mid-period (minimum -9 nt
at 13/1309Z).
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: Geomagnetic field activity is
expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels on day 1 (14 July).
Activity is expected to decrease to quiet levels for the balance of
the period (15 - 16 July).
