IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 02/2100Z to 03/2100Z:
Solar activity was very low. No flares were observed during the past 24
hours and the solar disk continues to be spotless.

IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low.

IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 02/2100Z to 03/2100Z: The geomagnetic
field was quiet during the past 24 hours. A weak sudden impulse occurred at
03/0602Z in response to a discontinuity in the solar wind observed at ACE at
0451Z; solar wind speed increased from around 320 km/s to about 350 km/s.
Nonetheless the slight elevation of solar wind speed was not sufficient to
produce activity above the quiet levels.

IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be
quiet for the next three days.
