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 342 Issued at 2200Z on 08 Dec 2011

IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  07/2100Z
to 08/2100Z:  Solar activity was low. A few low level C-class flares
occurred early in the period from a region not yet around the east
limb.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low for the next 3 days (9-11 December).
IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 07/2100Z to 08/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet for days 1-2 (9-10 December) before increasing
to unsettled and active conditions on day 3 (11 December) due to a
coronal hole high speed stream.
