SDF Number 29 Issued at 2200Z on 29 Jan 2018

IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 28/2100Z to
29/2100Z: Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24
hours. There are currently 0 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low
on days one, two, and three (30 Jan, 31 Jan, 01 Feb).

IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 28/2100Z to 29/2100Z: The geomagnetic
field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed
reached a peak of 360 km/s at 29/1149Z. Total IMF reached 7 nT at
29/1015Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -4 nT at
29/1046Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a
peak level of 204 pfu.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet to unsettled levels on days one and two (30 Jan, 31 Jan)
and quiet levels on day three (01 Feb).
