IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 22/2100Z to 23/2100Z:
Solar activity was very low. 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 22/2100Z to 23/2100Z: The geomagnetic
field was quiet. Solar wind velocities at ACE ranged from 361-438 km/s,
while the IMF Bz ranged between -3 nT and +7 nT.

IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be
predominantly quiet for the next three days (24-26 March).
