:Product: Report of Solar-Geophysical Activity :Issued: 2009 Apr 16 2201 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 106 Issued at 2200Z on 16 Apr 2009 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 15/2100Z to 16/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. No flares were observed the past 24 hours. The solar disk remains spotless. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 15/2100Z to 16/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled conditions. Observations from the ACE spacecraft reflect the influence of the recurrent coronal hole high speed stream. Solar wind velocities have increased from around 300 km/s to 430 km/s through the 24 hour period. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled with a chance of isolated active conditions for 17 April. Predominantly quiet levels are expected for 18-19 April. III. Event Probabilities 17 Apr-19 Apr Class M 01/01/01 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF Green IV.
