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 226 Issued at 2200Z on 14 AUG 1999IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. REGION 8668 (N22E67) PRODUCED
THE LARGEST FLARE OF THE PAST DAY, A C7/1F AT 14/1210UT. REGION 8662
(S16W46) ALSO PRODUCED C-CLASS ACTIVITY. NEITHER SUNSPOT REGION IS
SIGNIFICANTLY COMPLEX. NEW REGION 8669 (S21E39) EMERGED ON THE DISK.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW
TO MODERATE. C-CLASS ACTIVITY SHOULD CONTINUE, PRINCIPALLY IN
REGIONS 8662 AND 8668. A LOW-LEVEL M-CLASS FLARE IS POSSIBLE IN
THESE REGIONS AS WELL.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET TO UNSETTLED.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS
EXPECTED TO BE QUIET TO UNSETTLED.
