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 086 Issued at 2200Z on 27 Mar 2010IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 26-2100Z to 27-2100Z Solar activity was low. Region 1057 (N15E16) produced
several C-class flares during the period. New Region 1059 (S21E73)
was numbered today as an H-type spot group.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to remain
low with C-class flares expected and a slight chance for a M-class
flare over the next 3 days (28-30 March).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 26-2100Z to 27-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to remain quiet over the next 3 days (28-30 March).
