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 315 Issued at 2200Z on 11 Nov 2001

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z

Solar activity was moderate, due to a single M-class event during the period. Region 9690 (S18W09) produced an M1/Sf flare at 11/1103 UTC. Region 9690 remains a relatively large sunspot group with a complex beta-gamma-delta magnetic configuration. This region remained active through out the period, producing numerous C-class flares and nearly continuous optical flaring. Spotless Region 9686 (N15W78) produced a C5/Sf flare at 11/0035 UTC. Region 9697 (N11E76) was numbered today.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be at mostly moderate levels with the chance of an isolated major flare from Region 9690.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was a mostly quiet levels with isolated unsettled conditions.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to continue to be at quiet to unsettled conditions. There will be a slight chance for a proton flare during the forecast period.
