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 173 Issued at 2200Z on 22 Jun 2013

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 21-2100Z to 22-2100Z

Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a C2 event observed at 21/2217Z from Region 1772 (S22W38). There are currently 8 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low with a chance for M-class flares on days one, two, and three (23 Jun, 24 Jun, 25 Jun).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 21-2100Z to 22-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed, as measured by the ACE spacecraft, reached a peak speed of 710 km/s at 22/0358Z. Total IMF reached 8 nT at 22/0705Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -7 nT at 21/2234Z. Protons greater than 10 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 6 pfu at 22/1700Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 803 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to active levels on day one (23 Jun), unsettled to active levels on day two (24 Jun) and quiet to unsettled levels on day three (25 Jun). Protons greater than 10 Mev have a slight chance of crossing threshold on days one and two (23 Jun, 24 Jun).
