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 283 Issued at 2200Z on 10 Oct 2011

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

Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. Region 1313 (S15E01) was the most active region, producing multiple low level C-class events. New Region 1315 (N20E08) was numbered early in the period and is current magnetically classified as a beta group.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to remain at low levels with a slight chance for M-class events, for the next three days (11-13 October).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 09-2100Z to 10-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels with a slight chance for an isolated active period on day one (11 October), as a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream becomes geoeffective. Predominantly quiet levels are expected on days two and three (12-13 October) as effects from the high speed stream wane.
