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 073 Issued at 2200Z on 14 Mar 2001IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z Solar activity was very low. The largest x-ray flare of
the past day was a B9 at 14/1211 UTC. No optical flare reports were
received for this particular event. Region 9373 (S08E07) remains the
largest and most complex area on the visible disk and has changed
little since yesterday. New Regions 9382 (N09W74), 9383 (S09W44),
and 9384 (N10E02) were numbered.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low. Region 9373 is the most likely source of activity,
including the possibility of an isolated M-class event.
