Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 042 Issued at 2200Z on 11 Feb 2005

IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  10/2100Z
to 11/2100Z:  Solar activity has been low.  A C1.0 flare occurred
from Region 734 (S04E44) at 11/1000Z.  LASCO imagery showed a CME
off the SE limb at 11/0254Z.

IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low.

IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 10/2100Z to 11/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled.  Solar wind speed at
ACE showed a decline from approximately 680 km/s to 620 km/s during
the reporting period.  The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at
geosynchronous orbit was high again today.

IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled on 12 - 14 February.  Today's CME
is not expected to be geoeffective.
