Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 180 Issued at 2200Z on 29 Jun 2009
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 28/2100Z
to 29/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. No flares were detected.
The visible disk was spotless.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very
low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 28/2100Z to 29/2100Z:
Geomagnetic field activity ranged from quiet to active levels.
Unsettled to active levels occurred until 29/0600Z, followed by
mostly quiet conditions. ACE solar wind observations indicated Earth
remained under the influence of a coronal hole high-speed stream.
Solar wind velocities gradually increased until around 29/1500Z
(peak 575 km/sec at 29/1501Z), then remained elevated for the rest
of the period. A period of sustained southward IMF Bz occurred until
around 29/0200Z (minimum -9 nT at 29/2102Z).
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: Geomagnetic field activity is
expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels on day 1 (30 June).
Field activity is expected to decrease to mostly quiet levels during
days 2 - 3 (01 - 02 July) as the high-speed stream subsides.
III. Event Probabilities 30 Jun-02 Jul
Class M 01/01/01
Class X 01/01/01
Proton 01/01/01
PCAF Green
IV. Penticton 10.7 cm Flux

Snip... more noise about the lack of a sun spot facing the Earth near
a bottom(minimum) in a reoccuring ~11 year cycle. Never mind that
our sun is radiating 50+ MW of highly energetic photons per square
meter of surface area. (Which is NOT something I would classify as
"all quiet")..

from today's http://www.spaceweather.com/ (July 1, 2009)

"Yesterday, a sunspot emerged in the circled region, but it
disappeared so fast that it did not receive an official number.
Readers with solar telescopes should monitor the region for a
reappearance. Credit: SOHO/M"

I see our resident Canadian fossil fuel troll has forged yet another
ID... plus he's now making up fake quotations.

In the not too distant future, your ISP will be ordered to disclose
your real name and address.
