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 311 Issued at 2200Z on 07 NOV 1999

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 06-2100Z to 07-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY REMAINED AT LOW LEVELS. REGION 8759 (N08E70) PRODUCED A SINGLE C-CLASS SUBFLARE EARLY IN THE PERIOD. IT IS A MODERATE-SIZED GROUP WITH A COMPACT SPOT DISTRIBUTION AND A MODERATELY COMPLEX MAGNETIC STRUCTURE. REGION 8757 (N36W16) SHOWED SLOW GROWTH EARLY IN THE PERIOD AS IT PRODUCED A FEW SUBFLARES, BUT STABILIZED SHORTLY THEREAFTER. REGION 8749 (S18W76) CONTINUED TO SHOW A SLIGHT DEGREE OF MAGNETIC COMPLEXITY, BUT WAS STABLE AS IT APPROACHED THE WEST LIMB. MINOR GROWTH WAS NOTED WITHIN REGION 8753 (N20E16) AND (NEWLY NUMBERED) REGION 8760 (N13E35). BOTH REGIONS APPEARED TO BE SIMPLY-STRUCTURED BIPOLES.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE AT LOW TO MODERATE LEVELS. REGION 8759 MAY PRODUCE ISOLATED M-CLASS FLARES DURING THE PERIOD.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 06-2100Z to 07-2100Z
GEOMAGNETIC FIELD ACTIVITY INCREASED EARLY IN THE PERIOD WITH THE ONSET OF CORONAL HOLE EFFECTS. ACE REAL-TIME SOLAR WIND DATA INDICATED A TRANSITION TO A CORONAL HOLE WINDSTREAM BEGINNING ROUGHLY 06/2300Z. FIELD ACTIVITY INCREASED TO UNSETTLED TO MINOR STORM LEVELS SHORTLY THEREAFTER WITH STORM LEVELS MOSTLY LIMITED TO HIGH LATITUDES.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
ACTIVE TO MINOR STORM LEVELS ARE EXPECTED AS CORONAL HOLE EFFECTS CONTINUE THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE GREATER THAN 2 MEV ELECTRON FLUX AT GEOSYNCHRONOUS ORBIT IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO MODERATE TO HIGH LEVELS EARLY IN THE FORECAST PERIOD.
