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 070 Issued at 2200Z on 10 MAR 2000IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 09-2100Z to 10-2100Z SOLAR ACTIVITY CONTINUED AT LOW LEVELS WITH NUMEROUS
C-CLASS SUBFLARES OBSERVED. REGION 8906 (S16E44) CONTINUED AS THE
LARGEST OF THE VISIBLE SPOT GROUPS, BUT SHOWED NO SIGNIFICANT
CHANGES. IT PRODUCED SEVERAL C-CLASS SUBFLARES, THE LARGEST OF WHICH
WAS A C7/SF AT 10/1758UT. REGION 8900 (S16W63) CONTINUED TO DECAY
AND PRODUCED ISOLATED C-CLASS SUBFLARES. THE REMAINING REGIONS WERE
STABLE.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE AT
LOW TO MODERATE LEVELS. ISOLATED M-CLASS FLARES ARE POSSIBLE.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 09-2100Z to 10-2100Z
