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 231 Issued at 2200Z on 19 Aug 2001IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 18-2100Z to 19-2100Z Solar activity was low. Only a few small subflares
occurred, none of which with significant x-ray output. Region 9585
(N15E37) continued to grow but at a slower pace. New Region 9588
(S32W55) emerged on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 18-2100Z to 19-2100Z

solar energetic proton event ended (start 16/0135 UTC, 493 pfu peak
at 16/0355 UTC, and end 18/1845 UTC).
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled.
