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 323 Issued at 2200Z on 19 NOV 1999IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 18-2100Z to 19-2100Z SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. REGION 8773 (S14E39) WAS SPLIT
OFF FROM THE TRAILING PORTION OF REGION 8771 (S15E28). TWO OTHER
SMALL SPOT GROUPS WERE NUMBERED, REGION 8774 (N22E69) AND REGION
8775 (S17W18). A LARGE FILAMENT/PROMINENCE IN THE SOUTHWEST HAS
ERUPTED.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE
MODERATE TO HIGH. MAJOR FLARES ARE POSSIBLE FROM REGIONS 8765 (S12
W34), REGION 8766 (N17 W11), AND REGION 8771 (S15E28).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 18-2100Z to 19-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS BASICALLY UNSETTLED FOR THE PAST 24 HOURS.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD EXPECTED
TO BE UNSETTELED TO ACTIVE. THERE IS EVIDENCE IN THE SOLAR WIND
DATA FROM THE ACE SPACECRAFT OF A DISTURBANCE IN THE SOLAR WIND
WHICH MAY IMPACT THE EARTH.
