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

             Solar activity was at very low levels.  The visible
       solar disk remained spotless.

            Solar activity forecast:  solar activity is expected to remain
       at very low levels.

            The geomagnetic field was at mostly quiet to unsettled levels.  An
       isolated active period was observed from 18/0900 - 1200Z due to
       sustained southward bz (-5nt maximum) and elevated solar wind speed.
       Beginning at approximately 18/0600Z wind speed began a gradual rise
       from around 450 km/s to end the summary period at about 600 km/s.

            Geophysical activity forecast:  the geomagnetic field is
       expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels for the forecast period
       (19 - 21 february).
