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 154 Issued at 2200Z on 03 JUN 1998

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 02-2100Z to 03-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY BECAME LOW. AN OPTICALLY UNCORRELATED, MODERATE DURATION C1 FLARE OCCURRED AT 03/0303Z. REGION 8232 (S19E63) SHOWED ITSELF AS A MODERATE SIZE C GROUP WITH DIFFUSE PLAGE. REGION 8230 (S20E10) STABILIZED. NEW REGION 8233 (N28E64) EMERGED RAPIDLY AND PRODUCED FREQUENT SUBFLARES LATE IN THE PERIOD. SEVERAL LARGE FILAMENTS ARE VISIBLE IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE AND TO THIS POINT HAVE BEEN STABLE.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY SHOULD REMAIN LOW FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS. C-CLASS EVENTS ARE POSSIBLE FROM REGIONS 8230, 8232, AND 8233.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 02-2100Z to 03-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET TO UNSETTLED. SOLAR WIND VELOCITY INCREASED DURING THE PERIOD FROM APPROXIMATELY 400 KM/S TO OVER 500 KM/S.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD SHOULD REMAIN GENERALLY QUIET TO UNSETTLED FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS. ISOLATED ACTIVE CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE ON 05-06 JUN.
