Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
17 - 23 November 2008

Solar activity was very low through the period. No flares were observed. The visible disk was spotless.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at normal levels.

Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet levels during the period. ACE solar wind measurements indicated no significant disturbances during the period. Solar wind velocities ranged from 259 to 457 km/sec during the period.

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
26 November - 22 December 2008


Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels.

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to reach high levels during 26 November - 03 December and 06 - 12 December.

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at mostly unsettled levels during 26 - 27 November due to a recurrent coronal hole high-speed stream (CH HSS). Quiet levels are expected during 28 November - 03 December followed by an increase to unsettled to
active levels during 04 - 06 December due to a recurrent CH HSS. Activity is expected to decrease to quiet levels during 07 - 21 December. Activity is expected to increase to unsettled levels on 22 December due to another recurrent CH HSS.
