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 257 Issued at 2200Z on 14 Sep 2010

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

Solar activity has been very low. The disk was quiet and stable. No new regions were numbered today.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low, with a chance for an isolated C-class event from Region 1106 (N19E30).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet to active.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be predominately quiet on day one (15 September). Quiet to unsettled conditions with isolated active periods are expected on day two (16 September) due to the arrival of the CME observed on September 11. Day three is expected to be predominately unsettled with isolated active periods, as a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream becomes geoeffective.
