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 214 Issued at 2200Z on 01 AUG 2000IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 31-2100Z to 01-2100Z SOLAR ACTIVITY HAS BEEN LOW. THE LARGEST EVENT WAS AN
OPTICALLY UNCORRELATED C2 EVENT WITH AN ASSOCIATED TYPE II RADIO
SWEEP AT 01/0346Z. THE MOST LIKELY SOURCE OF THIS ACTIVITY IS FROM
AN ACTIVE REGION JUST BEHIND THE NORTHEAST LIMB. REGION 9104
(S19W01) EXHIBITED SOME GROWTH TODAY, AND NEW REGION 9111 (N10E28)
WAS NUMBERED.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST
AT LOW LEVELS THROUGH DAY TWO, WITH AN ISOLATED CHANCE OF MODERATE
FLARES. A GREATER CHANCE OF MODERATE ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED BY DAY
THREE.
IIA. GEOPHYSICAL ACTIVITY SUMMARY 31/2100Z TO 01/2100Z:
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD RANGED FROM QUIET TO MINOR STORM LEVELS. AN
ISOLATED PERIOD OF MINOR STORMING WAS OBSERVED AT HIGHER LATITUDES
DURING 31/2100-2400Z.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS
EXPECTED TO BE PREDOMINANTLY UNSETTLED TO ACTIVE THROUGH DAY ONE.
QUIET TO UNSETTLED CONDITIONS, WITH A POSSIBILITY OF ISOLATED
ACTIVE PERIODS, ARE EXPECTED FOR DAYS TWO AND THREE.
