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 031 Issued at 2200Z on 31 Jan 2005IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 30-2100Z to 31-2100Z Solar activity has been low. Region 729 (S10E18), a
new region numbered today, produced a C1.3 at 31/1052 UTC. Other
regions did not exhbit significant development. An apparent
backsided CME was observed on LASCO imagery beginning at 31/0918
UTC.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low. Regions 727 (S09W53) and 729 may produce C-class
flares.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 30-2100Z to 31-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been quiet to active from the continuing
influence of the coronal hole high speed stream. The greater than 2
MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit ended the period at a high
level.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to active on 1 February from the residual
effects of elevated solar wind speed. Activity should subside to
quiet to unsettled levels on 2-3 February.
