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 323 Issued at 2200Z on 19 Nov 2010

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 18-2100Z to 19-2100Z

Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24 hours. All three visible active regions remained stable and quiet. A filament disappeared near N30E41 at 18/1721Z. A slow-moving, CME was detected at 18/2224Z by SOHO LASCO c2 imagery and did not appear to be earth directed.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels for the next three days (20-22 November).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 18-2100Z to 19-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Observations from the ACE spacecraft showed solar wind speeds decreasing throughout the period, from 550km/s to 350 km/s, as the effects of a coronal hole high-speed stream wane. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels during the period.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels for the next three days (20-22 November).
