SOLAR AND GEOPHYSICAL ACTIVITY INDICES FOR 16 JANUARY, 2008
-----------------------------------------------------------

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

The background x-ray flux was below class A1.0 levels.

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

             Solar activity was very low.  The visible disk remains
       spotless.

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

            The geomagnetic field was predominantly unsettled under the continued
       influence of a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream.  Solar wind
       at ace peaked at approximately 700 km/s during the period.  The
       greater than 2 mev electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached
       high levels.

            Geophysical activity forecast:  the geomagnetic field is
       expected to be unsettled on day one of the forecast period (17 jan)
       as the influence of the high speed stream wanes.  Isolated active
       periods, particularly at high latitudes, are still possible. 
       Stereo-b data suggest a downward trend in solar wind speed and
       magnetic activity over the next 40 hours, so by days two and three
       (18-19 jan) conditions should return to quiet levels.
