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.

SDF Number 340 Issued at 2200Z on 05 Dec 2000

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 04-2100Z to 05-2100Z

Solar activity has been low. A long duration C1 X-ray flare occurred at 05/1823Z. An examination of SOHO/EIT images suggest that it originated from Region 9246 (S17E51). The remainder of the solar disk was mostly stable through the period.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low for the forecast period.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 04-2100Z to 05-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was predominately quiet the past 24 hours. One period of active conditions was observed at mid latitudes at 04/2400Z.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled for the forecast period.
