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 161 Issued at 2200Z on 09 Jun 2004

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 08-2100Z to 09-2100Z

Solar activity has been very low. No significant changes have been noted in current active regions on the sun.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to remain very low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 08-2100Z to 09-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at mostly unsettled levels with an isolated period of active on 9 June at 1200Z. The interplanetary magnetic field has been at slightly negative polarity for extended periods. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels today.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to remain mostly unsettled for the remainder of 9 June. The possible glancing blow from a coronal mass ejection may elevate the geomagnetic field to active levels with a very slight chance for isolated minor storming on 10 June, returning to quiet to active levels for 11 June.
