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 283 Issued at 2200Z on 10 OCT 1999

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 09-2100Z to 10-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. THREE SMALL C-CLASS SUBFLARES OCCURRED DURING THE PERIOD. TWO HAD NO OPTICAL CORRELATION AND ONE C2/SF AT 10/1356Z FROM REGION 8728 (N22E50). OF THE THIRTEEN SPOTTED REGIONS ON THE SOLAR DISK AT THIS TIME, NONE ARE VERY DYNAMIC IN MAGNETIC STRUCTURE. A REGION OF INTEREST IS REGION 8729 (N12E58). THIS REGION MAY CONSIST OF TWO OR MORE REGIONS ONCE THE AREA ROTATES FURTHER ONTO THE DISK FOR A BETTER ANALYSIS.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN LOW THROUGH THE PERIOD. SEVERAL OF THE EXISTING REGIONS HAVE C-CLASS FLARE POTENTIAL WITH A SMALL CHANCE OF AN ISOLATED M-CLASS EVENT.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 09-2100Z to 10-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS AT QUIET TO MINOR STORM CONDITIONS THROUGH THE PERIOD. THIS DISTURBANCE IS LIKELY ASSOCIATED WITH A HIGH-SPEED CORONAL HOLE WIND STREAM.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE AT ACTIVE TO MINOR STORM LEVELS THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD AS CORONAL HOLE EFFECTS CONTINUE.
