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 206 Issued at 2200Z on 25 Jul 2001

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z

Activity remained low. Gradual decay occurred in Region 9543 (S23W58), which produced an isolated C-class subflare. Minor spot growth occurred in Region 9553 (N13E08) early in the period. The remaining active regions were small, stable, and simply structured, including newly numbered Region 9556 (S07W42).
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to remain low. However, there will be a slight chance for an isolated M-class flare from Region 9543.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z
Geomagnetic field activity ranged from unsettled to active levels with brief minor to major storm levels detected at high latitudes. This activity was likely due to coronal hole effects.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at quiet to active levels during the first day as coronal hole effects continue. Activity is expected to decrease to quiet to unsettled levels during the rest of the period as coronal hole effects subside.
