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 091 Issued at 2200Z on 01 APR 1999

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 31-2100Z to 01-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS VERY LOW. THE REGIONS HAVE SHOWN NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE. SOME MINOR SURGING WAS OBSERVED DURING THE PERIOD ON THE NORTHEAST LIMB. NO NEW REGIONS WERE NUMBERED.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN VERY LOW WITH THE CHANCE OF AN ISOLATED C-CLASS XRAY EVENT.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 31-2100Z to 01-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD RANGED FROM QUIET TO MINOR STORM LEVELS. MINOR STORM CONDITIONS WERE EXPERIENCED DURING THE 01/0000 - 0600Z PERIODS. THIS ACTIVITY IS BELIEVED TO BE RELATED TO A HIGH SPEED CORONAL HOLE STREAM IMPACTING THE EARTH.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE PREDOMINANTLY QUIET TO UNSETTLED. ISOLATED ACTIVE TO MINOR STORM LEVELS ARE POSSIBLE DURING THE NEXT THREE DAYS DUE TO THE CONTINUATION OF AN ELONGATED CORONAL HOLE IN THE SOLAR SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE.
