---------------------------------------------------------

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. Region 985 (S10W96)
       produced a B5/sf flare at 11/0550Z. Region 985 has since rotated off
       the west limb.

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

            The geomagnetic field was at quiet to active levels due to the
       influence of a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream. Solar wind
       at the ace spacecraft was elevated to approximately 640 km/s at
       forecast issue time. The greater than 2 mev electron flux at
       geosynchronous orbit reached high levels.

            Geophysical activity forecast:  the geomagnetic field is
       expected to be quiet to active, with isolated minor storm conditions
       at high latitudes on day one (12 march). The elevated activity is
       due to the coronal hole high speed stream. Days two and three (13-14
       march) are expected to be mostly quiet to unsettled.
