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 178 Issued at 2200Z on 27 Jun 2002

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 26-2100Z to 27-2100Z

Solar activity decreased to very low levels. Isolated B-class X-ray flares occurred, most of which were optically uncorrelated. Minor decay was observed in Region 8 (S12W41), which was the source for a B-class X-ray flare late in the period. Region 5 (N12W72) was also the source for an isolated B-class subflare. It remained simply-structured as it approached the west limb. Region 11 (S11W05) showed minor decay and remained a simple bipole. The remaining active regions were stable and simply-structured. New Region 17 (S19E14) emerged during the period.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be at very low to low levels. Isolated C-class flares are possible from Regions 8 and 11.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 26-2100Z to 27-2100Z
Geomagnetic field activity remained at quiet to unsettled levels.
