:Product: 0721RSGA.txt :Issued: 2009 Jul 21 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 202 Issued at 2200Z on 21 Jul 2009 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 20/2100Z to 21/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. No flares occurred during the past 24 hours. The solar disk continues to be void of sunspots. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low for the next three days (22-24 July). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 20/2100Z to 21/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet during the past 24 hours. A solar sector boundary crossing from negative to positive was observed at the ACE spacecraft around 0145Z; yesterdays anticipated high speed stream did not materialize as solar wind speeds held steady in the range between 300-340 km/s. There was a possible second solar sector boundary crossing back to negative polarity at about 1800Z. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet for the next three days (22-24 July). III.
