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 082 Issued at 2200Z on 23 MAR 1999

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 22-2100Z to 23-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS VERY LOW. ONLY A COUPLE OF LOW-LEVEL B-CLASS X-RAY FLARES OCCURRED. NO OPTICAL FLARE REPORTS WERE RECEIVED. ALL DISK REGIONS ARE SMALL AND SIMPLE. NEW REGION 8498 (N18E67) ROTATED AROUND THE EAST LIMB AS A SINGLE H-TYPE SUNSPOT.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE VERY LOW TO LOW.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 22-2100Z to 23-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE QUIET TO UNSETTLED. ACTIVITY LEVELS MAY INCREASE DUE TO A DSF AND ASSOCIATED CME THAT OCCURRED ON 21 MARCH.
