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 318 Issued at 2200Z on 14 Nov 2001

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z

Solar activity was low. Region 9690 (S17W48) produced several minor C-class flares, the largest being a C5/Sf at 14/0924Z. This region continues to decay in size and has simplified somewhat in magnetic complexity. A C5 flare was observed on the SW limb at 14/1802Z. Region 9697 (N12E34) produced occasional minor C-class flares this period, including a C2/1f flare at 14/0102Z. Five new regions were numbered today: Region 9702 (N22W07), 9703 (N22E12), 9704 (S18E70), 9705 (N14E49), and 9706 (N15E65).
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be moderate. Region 9690 still maintains potential for M-class activity and an isolated major flare. Region 9697 has a slight chance of producing an M-class event.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled.
