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 101 Issued at 2200Z on 11 APR 1999IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z SOLAR ACTIVITY HAS BEEN LOW WITH MINOR FLARES UP TO
CLASS C INTENSITY OCCURRING IN REGION 8508 (N22W29). THE REGION
APPEARS TO BE SLOWLY DISSIPATING BUT REMAINS ACTIVE AND COMPLEX.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD HAS BEEN UNSETTLED. THE SOURCE OF THE SMALL
ENHANCEMENT OF ACTIVITY APPEARED TO BE A MODERATE HIGH-SPEED STREAM
IN THE SOLAR WIND. CURRENT OBSERVATIONS INDICATE A SLOW DECAY
TOWARD MORE NOMINAL VALUES. ENERGETIC ELECTRONS AT GEOSYNCHRONOUS
ORBIT REMAIN MODERATELY ENHANCED.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY IS
EXPECTED TO BE QUIET TO UNSETTLED.
