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 036 Issued at 2200Z on 05 Feb 2001IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 04-2100Z to 05-2100Z Solar activity was low. Region 9335 (N08E40) produced a
C8/1F at 05/1520Z. Minor centimetric radio bursts and a Type II
sweep accompanied this flare. Minor C-class flares were also
observed in Regions 9327 (N19W73) and 9334 (N12E27). Moderate growth
in the size and complexity of Region 9339 (S11E62) was also noted.
New Region 9340 (S13E05) was numbered today.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to continue
at low levels. There is a chance for an isolated M flare in Regions
9334 and 9339.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 04-2100Z to 05-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled, as effects from a high speed
coronal hole stream are expected early in the three day period.
