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 084 Issued at 2200Z on 25 MAR 1999

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

SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS VERY LOW. THE FOUR SPOTTED REGIONS WERE STABLE, AND VERY LITTLE OF SIGNIFICANCE OCCURRED. THERE WAS SOME MINOR LIMB ACTIVITY NEAR NW05 MIDWAY THROUGH THE PERIOD.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST AT VERY LOW LEVELS.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET UNTIL APPROXIMATELY 1800Z, WHEN UNSETTLED CONDITIONS OCCURRED. SOLAR WIND DATA SUGGEST THIS MODEST ACTIVITY MAY BE A GLANCING BLOW FROM A TRANSIENT SEEN ON MARCH 21.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE UNSETTLED THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD.
