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

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 986 (S04W57) is
       currently an hsx alpha magnetic class with only one spot.

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

            The geomagnetic field was quiet. The greater than 2 mev electron flux
       at geosynchronous orbit remained at high levels.

            Geophysical activity forecast:  the geomagnetic field is
       expected to be mostly quiet with isolated unsettled periods for the
       next three days (17-19 march).
