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 145 Issued at 2200Z on 25 MAY 1997

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS VERY LOW. ONLY A COUPLE B-LEVEL X-RAY FLARES WERE OBSERVED. OF THE FOUR SPOTTED REGIONS ON THE DISK REGION 8046 (S27E41) SHOWED THE MOST ACTIVITY. THE OTHER THREE REGIONS WERE VERY QUIET AND STABLE.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE VERY LOW.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS PREDOMINANTLY QUIET FOR THE PAST 24 HOURS. A BRIEF INTERVAL OF SLIGHT ENHANCED ACTIVITY OCCURRED FROM 0300-0600: MID-LATITUDES WERE UNSETTLED AND HIGH LATITUDES WERE UNSETTLED TO ACTIVE.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE QUIET TO UNSETTLED FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS.
