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 165 Issued at 2200Z on 13 JUN 2000

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 12-2100Z to 13-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY CONTINUED AT A LOW LEVEL. THE LARGEST EVENT OF THE PERIOD WAS A LONG DURATION C4/SF AT 13/1350Z FROM REGION 9041 (N18W35). GROWTH IN THIS REGION SLOWED BUT SOME RECENT FLARE ACTIVITY HERE WAS SHARED WITH NEARBY REGION 9033 (N24W22). FREQUENT SUBFLARES WERE OBSERVED FROM REGION 9042 (N19E69). THIS REGION SHOWED ITSELF AS A MODERATE SIZE E CLASS GROUP. REGION 9026 (N23W74) CONTINUED A SLOW DECAY.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW TO MODERATE. REGIONS 9026, 9033/9041, AND 9042 APPEAR CAPABLE OF PRODUCING ISOLATED M-CLASS EVENTS. THE POSSIBILITY FOR MAJOR FLARES FROM THESE REGIONS IS DECREASING SLOWLY.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 12-2100Z to 13-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS PREDOMINANTLY UNSETTLED TO ACTIVE. A SHOCK PASSED THE ACE SPACECRAFT AT 12/2140Z AND CREATED A SUDDEN IMPULSE OF 28 NT AT THE EARTH AT 12/2210Z. SOLAR WIND VELOCITY INCREASED FROM 450 KM/S TO OVER 600 KM/S. HOWEVER, SINCE THAT TIME, VELOCITY SLOWLY DECREASED AND AT THE END OF THE PERIOD WAS BACK BELOW 450 KM/S. THIS SHOCK IS BELIEVED RELATED TO THE FULL HALO CORONAL MASS EJECTION ON 10 JUN. THE LEVEL OF DISTURBANCE IN THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD FOLLOWING THE SHOCK WAS BELOW EXPECTATION.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE QUIET TO UNSETTLED FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS. VERY ISOLATED ACTIVE PERIODS ARE POSSIBLE. NO RECENT MASS EJECTIONS APPEAR TO BE EARTH-DIRECTED.
