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 295 Issued at 2200Z on 22 Oct 2010IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 21-2100Z to 22-2100Z Solar activity was very low. Regions 1113 (N16W40),
1115 (S30W22), and 1117 (N23E36) were stable and quiet. A CME was
observed off the Northwest quadrant on LASCO C3 Coronagraph
beginning around 22/0100Z. This event is likely associated with a
disappearing filament at N19W07 at 21/1506Z.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is forecast to be very
low with a slight chance for a C-class flare during the next 3 days
(23-25 October).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 21-2100Z to 22-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet with isolated periods of
unsettled conditions between 22/0600-0900Z and 22/1800-2100Z.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
forecast to be mostly unsettled to active on day 1 (23 October) due
to coronal hole effects in progress. Unsettled to active conditions
with a chance for minor storming are expected on days 2 and 3 (24-25
October) from the affects of a second favorably positioned coronal
hole.
