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 247 Issued at 2200Z on 04 SEP 1999IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 03-2100Z to 04-2100Z SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. A SINGLE C1 X-RAY EVENT, WITH
NO ASSOCIATED OPTICAL FLARE, WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE INTERVAL. IT
OCCURRED AT 0507Z. THE SEVEN SPOTTED REGIONS, ALL IN THE WESTERN
HEMISPHERE, WERE STABLE OR DECLINING. REGIONS 8682 (N17W14) AND 8687
(N11W33) WERE THE BRIGHTEST.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST
AT THE LOW LEVEL.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 03-2100Z to 04-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET TO ACTIVE. THE ENERGETIC ELECTRON
FLUX AT GEOSYNCHRONOUS ORBIT PASSED THE HIGH LEVEL NEAR MIDWAY
THROUGH THE PERIOD.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS
EXPECTED TO BE UNSETTLED DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS. CORONAL
TRANSIENTS MAY BRING ACTIVE TO MINOR STORM CONDITIONS FOR 06
SEPTEMBER, WITH A CALMING TREND BY THE END OF THE INTERVAL.
