:Product: 0720RSGA.txt :Issued: 2008 Jul 20 2203 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 202 Issued at 2200Z on 20 Jul 2008 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 19/2100Z to 20/2100Z: Solar activity was at very low levels. Region 1000 (S12W05) remained quiet and stable. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain at very low levels. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 19/2100Z to 20/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels again today. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly quiet to unsettled all three days of the forecast period (21 - 23 July) with isolated active periods possible on day three. The forecasted increase in activity is a result of a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream that is expected to rotate into a geoeffective position. III.
