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 102 Issued at 2200Z on 11 Apr 2012

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z

Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24 hours. An emerging flux region was numbered today as Region 1455 (N07E08) and was magnetically classified as a beta group.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels with a slight chance for C-class events for the next three days (12-14 April).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at predominantly 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 active conditions for the next three days (12-14 April) as a coronal hole high speed stream becomes geoeffective.
