:Product: Report of Solar-Geophysical Activity :Issued: 2010 Mar 19 2201 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 078 Issued at 2200Z on 19 Mar 2010 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 18/2100Z to 19/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Region 1054 (N16W69) produced the largest event of the period, a B7/sf flare, at 18/2308Z. An associated Type II radio sweep was observed by Palehua and Learmonth radio observatories at 18/2311Z. Palehua reported a speed of 776km/s. SOHO LASCO C2 depicted a weak, west limb CME. Region 1056 (N18E22) remains stable and quiet. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain very low with only a slight chance for a C-class flare within the next 3 days (20-22 March). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 18/2100Z to 19/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet for the next 3 days (20-22 March). III.
