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 328 Issued at 2200Z on 24 Nov 2002IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 23-2100Z to 24-2100Z Solar activity has been low. Region 198 (S18W36)
produced a long duration C1/Sf event at 24/1809 UTC. This region
remains mostly unchanged and continues to maintain its beta-gamma
magnetic configuration. A new region was numbered today as Region
202 (N14E66).
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low.
Region 198 has the potential to produce an isolated M-class event.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 23-2100Z to 24-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to active levels. The greater
than 2 MeV electron flux at geosychronous orbit reached high levels
today.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled.
