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 177 Issued at 2200Z on 26 Jun 2002

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 25-2100Z to 26-2100Z

Solar activity increased to low levels. A long-duration C1 X-ray flare occurred at 26/0820 UTC associated with a prominence eruption on the northeast limb near NE17. A coronal mass ejection was also associated with the eruption, but did not appear to have an Earthward component. Region 8 (S12W29) showed a minor degree of magnetic complexity, but was stable with no significant changes. The remaining regions were stable and simply-structured. Note: yesterday's 90-day mean 10.7 cm flux value of 154 was incorrect. The correct value was 175.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be at very low to low levels.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 25-2100Z to 26-2100Z
