SOLAR AND GEOPHYSICAL ACTIVITY INDICES FOR 15 FEBRUARY, 2008
------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: The greater than 2 MeV electron fluence was moderate today.

The background x-ray flux was below class A1.0 levels.
Boulder A and K-Indices (BAI & BKI) were not available and have been replaced
by Fredericksburg data (a similar mid-latitude station).

SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------

             Solar activity was very low.  The visible solar disk
       remains spotless.  A slow-moving cme, apparently from the backside,
       was observed on the east limb at approximately 15/0530Z.

            Solar activity forecast:  solar activity is expected to be very
       low.

            The geomagnetic field was predominately quiet to unsettled due to a
       geoeffective coronal hole high speed stream.  Solar wind speed
       remains in excess of 600 km/s.  The greater than 2 mev electron flux
       at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels again today.

            Geophysical activity forecast:  the geomagnetic field is
       expected to be quiet to unsettled with the possibility of isolated
       active periods for 16 february.  The geomagnetic field is expected
       to abate to quiet for 17 - 18 february as the coronal hole high
       speed stream rotates from its geoeffective position.
