Solar activity report
Any mentioned solar flare in this report has a scaling factor applied by the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC). Because of the SWPC scaling factor, solar flares are reported as 42% smaller than for the science quality data. The scaling factor has been removed from our archived solar flare data to reflect the true physical units.

SDF Number 244 Issued at 2200Z on 01 SEP 1997IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 31-2100Z to 01-2100Z SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. REGION 8076 (N28W28) REMAINS
THE DOMINANT FEATURE VISIBLE, NUMBERING 28 SPOTS AND MEASURING 210
MILLIONTHS IN WHITE LIGHT. THE REGION WAS STABLE THROUGHOUT THE DAY,
AND THE LIKELY SOURCE OF THE C1 X-RAY EVENT AT 0238Z. NEWLY NUMBERED
REGION 8082 (N22E70) APPEARED, MAKING A TOTAL OF FIVE SUNSPOT GROUPS
IN VIEW. FREQUENT TYPE III SWEEP EVENTS AND RADIO BURSTS AT LOW
FREQUENCIES OCCURRED AGAIN THROUGHOUT THE INTERVAL.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY SHOULD PERSIST AT LOW
LEVELS. REGION 8076 SHOULD PRODUCE OCCASIONAL C-CLASS FLARES.
