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 011 Issued at 2200Z on 11 Jan 2001

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z

Solar activity was low. Only three isolated C-class events occurred during the period. The largest was a C1/SF event from Region 9308 (N14E39) at 10/0215 UTC. Region 9306 (N12E14) developed into a more complex Beta-Gamma magnetic configuration during the period but showed little activity during that time. One new region was numbered, 9309 (N09W16).
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to persist at low levels with possible isolated M-class events possible.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z
