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 159 Issued at 2200Z on 08 JUN 1999

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 07-2100Z to 08-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. AS HAS BEEN THE PATTERN OF THE PAST FEW DAYS, JUST OCCASIONAL SMALL C-CLASS EVENTS OCCURRED. REGION 8574 (N28E01) WAS THE MOST ACTIVE CENTER, AND REMAINS BRIGHT IN H-ALPHA. TWO NEW REGIONS WERE ASSIGNED; 8577 (N19W37) AND 8578 (N19E04).
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 07-2100Z to 08-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD VARIED FROM QUIET TO ACTIVE. SOLAR WIND DATA SHOW PROLONGED PERIODS OF SOUTHWARD IMF, PERHAPS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PASSAGE OF A RECURRENT STRUCTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE HELIOSPHERIC CURRENT SHEET.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE UNSETTLED DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS, WITH A CHANCE OF ACTIVE CONDITIONS DURING LOCAL NIGHTTIMES. QUIET CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL JUNE 10-11.
