Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 148 Issued at 2200Z on 28 May 2009


IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 27/2100Z
to 28/2100Z: Solar activity continued to be very low. The disk is
spotless and no flares occurred.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain
very low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 27/2100Z to 28/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet to mildly unsettled. A sudden impulse
measuring 33 nT at Boulder occurred at 0520 UTC, bringing unsettled
conditions in its wake. The source of this impulse is of dubious
origin.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet throughout the forecast period.
