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 167 Issued at 2200Z on 15 JUN 2000

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 14-2100Z to 15-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS MODERATE. THE LARGEST FLARE OF THE PERIOD WAS FROM REGION 9041 (N19W65). IT PRODUCED AN M1/2N AT 15/1957Z WITH AN ASSOCIATED 290 SFU TENFLARE. A WEAK TYPE II RADIO SWEEP WAS OBSERVED AT 15/1519Z AND WAS LIKELY FROM A SUBFAINT FLARE AND CME FROM REGION 9042 (N20E43). NEW REGION 9047 (S32E30) WAS NUMBERED TODAY.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW TO MODERATE. SEVERAL REGIONS ARE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING M-CLASS FLARES WITH A CHANCE FOR AN ISOLATED X-CLASS FLARE.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 14-2100Z to 15-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET TO MAJOR STORM LEVELS. THESE STORMING CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLY THE RESULT OF A WELL POSITIONED POSITIVE CORONAL HOLE.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE QUIET TO UNSETTLED. ISOLATED ACTIVE CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE THE FIRST DAY OF THE FORECAST AS THE CORONAL HOLE ROTATES OUT OF POSITION THROUGH THE DAY.
