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 147 Issued at 2200Z on 26 MAY 2000

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 25-2100Z to 26-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. SEVERAL SMALL C-CLASS FLARES OCCURRED IN A VARIETY OF REGIONS. REGION 9002 (N20W79) WAS THE MOST ACTIVE AREA ON THE VISIBLE DISK. NEW REGIONS 9018 (S20W11) AND 9019 (S34W38) EMERGED ON THE DISK.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW TO MODERATE. C-CLASS ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE AND THERE IS A CHANCE OF A LOW-LEVEL M-CLASS FLARE.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 25-2100Z to 26-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD RANGED FROM QUIET TO MINOR STORM LEVELS. THE MOST DISTURBED PERIODS OCCURRED FROM 26/06-12UT. THE GREATER THAN 2 MEV ELECTRON FLUX AT GEOSYNCHRONOUS ORBIT WAS MODERATE TO HIGH.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE QUIET TO UNSETTLED. INCREASED ACTIVITY LEVELS ARE POSSIBLE BY THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD DUE TO WELL POSITIONED CORONAL HOLES.
