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 195 Issued at 2200Z on 14 Jul 2002

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z

Solar activity was at low levels. Region 30 (N19E12) produced numerous B- and C-class flares again today. A slight growth of penumbral coverage was observed today in white light analysis. The dominant intermediate spot continues to show delta magnetic characteristics along with a weak secondary delta spot just to the northwest of it. A re-emergence of a single alpha spot was seen in Region 28 (S16W40). Region 29 (S14W29) continues to decay. New Region 34 (S20E05) was assigned today.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be at moderate levels. There is a chance that Region 30 could produce another major flare.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at predominantly quiet to unsettled levels through day one. Days two and three may experience periods of active conditions due to a favorably positioned coronal hole.
