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 191 Issued at 2200Z on 10 Jul 2010

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 09-2100Z to 10-2100Z

Solar activity was very low. Region 1087 (S19E57) is a beta magnetic configuration and produced two B-class flares during the period. The region shows occasional point brightenings and is growing in both white light areal coverage and sunspot count.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low to low. There is a chance for a C-class flare, and a slight chance for a M-class event, from Region 1087.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 09-2100Z to 10-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at high levels.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels for days one and two (11-12 July). Quiet to unsettled levels, with isolated active conditions, are expected for day three (13 July) due to a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream.
