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 255 Issued at 2200Z on 11 SEP 2000IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. REGION 9154 (S17W91) WAS THE
PRIMARY SOURCE OF SEVERAL LOW LEVEL C-CLASS FLARES AS IT APPROACHED
THE WEST LIMB. THE LARGEST WAS A C4/SF AT 11/0715Z. REGION 9158
(N29E19), UNIMPRESSIVE NOW IN WHITE LIGHT WITH NO SPOTS VISIBLE,
PRODUCED A C1/SF FLARE AT 11/1810Z. SEVERAL SEGMENTS OF A LARGE
FILAMENT IN THE NW QUADRANT HAVE DISAPPEARED, BUT THERE IS NO
INDICATION OF A CME, ON GROUND OR SPACE-BASED IMAGERY. NEW REGION
9161 (N06E04) WAS NUMBERED TODAY.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW.
REGION 9154 STILL MAINTAINS BEST POTENTIAL FOR C-CLASS ACTIVITY AS
IT ROTATES AROUND THE WEST LIMB. WITH REGION 9154'S DEPARTURE, SOLAR
ACTIVITY MAY REACH VERY LOW LEVELS.
IIA. GEOPHYSICAL ACTIVITY SUMMARY 10/2100Z TO 11/2100Z:
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS
EXPECTED TO BE MOSTLY QUIET TO UNSETTLED WITH OCCASIONAL ACTIVE
PERIODS ON DAY ONE. EFFECTS FROM THE 09 AUG, M1/1N FLARE ARE
POSSIBLE ON DAY ONE.
