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.

Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity

SDF Number 318 Issued at 2200Z on 14 NOV 1997

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY HAS BEEN LOW. REGION 8108 (N19E67) PRODUCED TWO C-CLASS FLARES TODAY. THE LARGEST WAS A C4/SF LONG DURATION EVENT AT 14/1038Z. SPACE-BASED SENSORS DETECTED A CORONAL MASS EJECTION PARTIAL HALO EVENT OFF THE NE LIMB THAT CAN BE CORRELATED WITH THIS EVENT. THE OTHER EVENT WAS A C3/SF FLARE WITH AN ASSOCIATED TYPE II SWEEP AT 14/0131Z. THIS REGION CONTINUES TO GROW AS IT ROTATES ONTO THE VISIBLE DISK. AN UNCORRELATED C1 EVENT WAS ALSO DETECTED AT 14/0713Z.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN LOW. REGION 8108 HAS A GOOD CHANCE OF CONTINUED C-CLASS X-RAY FLARE PRODUCTION AND AN OUTSIDE CHANCE OF PRODUCING ISOLATED M-CLASS ACTIVITY.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET TO UNSETTLED AT ALL LEVELS.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN QUIET TO UNSETTLED FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST PERIOD.
