Report of Solar-Geophysical Activity
Issued: 2010 Apr 01 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 091 Issued at 2200Z on 01 Apr 2010


IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 31/2100Z
to 01/2100Z: Solar activity has been very low. Region 1057 (N15W45)
continues a slow decay. Region 1059 (S22E10) remains stable. An
eleven degree filament disappeared near N26W31, between
01/0030-1355Z. No flares were observed during the past 24 hours.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very
low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 31/2100Z to 01/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active conditions. The
ACE spacecraft indicated the signature of a weak coronal hole high
speed stream. Solar wind speed averaged approximately 410 km/s with
IMF Bz ranging between -7/+8 nT.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be predominately quiet for the next three days (02-05
April).
