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 042 Issued at 2200Z on 11 FEB 1997

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

SOLAR ACTIVITY REMAINED VERY LOW. THE DISK WAS SPOTLESS.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY SHOULD REMAIN VERY LOW FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS PREDOMINANTLY UNSETTLED TO ACTIVE. PERIODS OF ISOLATED MINOR STORM LEVELS WERE OBSERVED AT SOME HIGH LATITUDE SITES. ENERGETIC ELECTRON FLUXES AT GEOSYNCHRONOUS ORBIT WERE AT HIGH TO ALMOST VERY HIGH LEVELS FOR MOST OF THE PERIOD.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
UNSETTLED TO SLIGHTLY ACTIVE CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST FOR 12 FEB AS THIS MAGNETIC CLOULD RELATED DISTURBANCE SUBSIDES. QUIET TO UNSETTLED CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ON 13-14 FEB.
