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 100 Issued at 2200Z on 10 Apr 2011IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 09-2100Z to 10-2100Z Solar activity was very low. Only B-class events were
observed. Region 1185 (N18E01) grew from an area of 30 millionths to
60 millionths. Region 1186 (N23E06) grew from 40 millionths to 70
millionths. Regions 1188 (S24W34) and 1189 (N23W16) are now plage
regions. A CME was observed on SOHO/LASCO C2 imagery on the
Northeast limb at approximately 10/0312Z.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low with a slight chance for C-class flares for the next
three days (11 - 13 April).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 09-2100Z to 10-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels, with isolated active
levels at mid-latitudes on day one (11 April). The increase in
activity is due to a coronal hole high-speed stream. Activity is
expected to decrease to mostly quiet levels on days two and three
(12 - 13 April) as the coronal hole high-speed stream effects wane.
The CME referenced in paragraph 1A, is not expected to be
geoeffective.
