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 193 Issued at 2200Z on 12 JUL 1998

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 11-2100Z to 12-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY BECAME VERY LOW. ONLY SMALL B-CLASS FLUCTUATIONS WERE OBSERVED. CURRENT DISK REGIONS WERE PREDOMINANTLY STABLE.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY SHOULD BE VERY LOW TO LOW. SMALL C-CLASS EVENTS ARE POSSIBLE FROM REGIONS 8269 (N18E45) AND 8270 (S20E42).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 11-2100Z to 12-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD AT MID-LATITUDES WAS QUIET TO UNSETTLED. PLANETARY INDICES WERE QUIET TO ACTIVE. THE MOST DISTURBED PERIOD WAS FROM 12/0600-1200Z.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD SHOULD BE PREDOMINANTLY QUIET FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS.
