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 247 Issued at 2200Z on 03 SEP 2000IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 02-2100Z to 03-2100Z SOLAR ACTIVITY CONTINUED AT LOW LEVELS. A SINGLE
OPTICALLY UNCORRELATED C1 X-RAY FLARE OCCURRED EARLY IN THE PERIOD.
REGION 9149 (N14W10) WAS STABLE THROUGH THE PERIOD. IT REMAINED A
MEDIUM-SIZED E-TYPE GROUP WITH MINOR POLARITY MIXING OBSERVED NEAR
ITS LEADER SPOT. THE REMAINING REGIONS WERE MOSTLY SMALL, STABLE,
AND SIMPLY STRUCTURED. NEW REGION 9155 (S11E32) WAS NUMBERED.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW.
HOWEVER, THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT TO FAIR CHANCE FOR AN ISOLATED
M-CLASS FLARE FROM REGION 9149.
IIA. GEOPHYSICAL ACTIVITY SUMMARY 02/2100Z TO 03/2100Z:
GEOMAGNETIC FIELD ACTIVITY RANGED FROM QUIET TO UNSETTLED LEVELS.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS
EXPECTED TO BE AT QUIET TO UNSETTLED LEVELS DURING THE PERIOD.
