Report of Solar-Geophysical Activity
Issued: 2009 Mar 04 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 063 Issued at 2200Z on 04 Mar 2009
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 03/2100Z
to 04/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. No flares were observed.
The visible disk was spotless.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very
low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 03/2100Z to 04/2100Z:
Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet to unsettled levels. Field
activity increased to unsettled levels during 04/0000 - 0300Z. ACE
solar wind measurements indicated the increase was associated with a
period of sustained southward IMF Bz combined with enhanced IMF Bt
and a modest increase in velocities.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: Geomagnetic field activity is
expected to be at mostly quiet levels during the period (05 - 07
March).
