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 085 Issued at 2200Z on 26 MAR 1998

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 25-2100Z to 26-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS MODERATE. REGION 8185 (S25E12) PRODUCED A LONG DURATION M1/2B AT 26/1259Z. REGION 8185 IS THE LARGEST REGION ON THE DISK AND IS CURRENTLY A FHC GROUP.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY SHOULD BE LOW TO MODERATE. REGION 8185 REMAINS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING ISOLATED M-CLASS EVENTS.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 25-2100Z to 26-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET TO UNSETTLED FROM 25/2100Z TO 26/1200Z. UNSETTLED TO ACTIVE CONDITIONS WERE OBSERVED THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD.
