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 045 Issued at 2200Z on 14 FEB 2000IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. A SINGLE C1 X-RAY FLARE, WITH
NO ASSOCIATED OPTICAL, OCCURRED AT 13/2334Z. ONE NEW REGION, 8874
(S08E54), WAS ASSIGNED, MAKING A TOTAL OF 11 SPOTTED REGIONS NOW
VISIBLE.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE
AT LOW LEVELS.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS AT QUIET TO MAJOR STORM LEVELS. A
TRANSIENT, WITH ENHANCED MAGNETIC FIELDS, PASSED ACE AROUND 0700Z.
THESE STRONG FIELDS, COUPLED WITH THE ALREADY FASTER THAN USUAL
SOLAR WIND (700 KM/S), SET OFF INTERVALS OF MINOR TO MAJOR STORMING
AT ALL LATITUDES. THE SOLAR WIND SPEED HAS SINCE DROPPED, NOW JUST
LESS THAN 600 KM/S.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS
EXPECTED TO BE MOSTLY UNSETTLED FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. EPISODES OF
ACTIVE OR MINOR STORM CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY DURING
LOCAL NIGHTTIMES. THIS CALMING TREND SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH THE END
OF THE PERIOD.
