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.

SDF Number 252 Issued at 2200Z on 08 SEP 1996

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 07-2100Z to 08-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY CONTINUED VERY LOW. REGION 7988 (S25W12) DECAYED AND WAS SPOTLESS FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE PERIOD.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY SHOULD CONTINUE VERY LOW FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 07-2100Z to 08-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET TO SLIGHTLY UNSETTLED. ENERGETIC ELECTRON FLUXES AT GEOSYNCHRONOUS ORBIT WERE LOW TO MODERATE.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
