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 088 Issued at 2200Z on 29 Mar 2006IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 28-2100Z to 29-2100Z Solar activity was very low. Today's activity consisted
of a few B-class flares, with both Region 865 (S12E48) and newly
numbered 866 (S06E69) contributing. Region 865 is a small (120
millionths), simple D-type group and Region 866 is a small (70
millionths) H-type group.
