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 172 Issued at 2200Z on 21 Jun 2002

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 20-2100Z to 21-2100Z

Solar activity was low during the past 24 hours with the occurrence of just two C-class flares. The first of these was a C1 at 0506 UTC that appears to be associated with activity just beyond the southwest limb. The second C-flare was a C1 at 2020 UTC: at the time of forecast issue there was not data available to determine a source region. Region 8 (S08E39) continues to be the largest group on the disk but was stable and quiet.
