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 040 Issued at 2200Z on 09 Feb 2005IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 08-2100Z to 09-2100Z Solar activity was low. Region 732 (N14E28) produced a
C1.2 flare at 08/2144Z. New Region 734 (S04E71) was numbered today.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 08-2100Z to 09-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet to active with an isolated minor
storm period between O600Z and 0900Z. This elevated activity was
due to persistence of a coronal hole high speed stream. Solar wind
speed at ACE fluctuated around 700 to 750 km/s throughout the
period. Bz was oscillating between +/- 5 nT.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to remain at quiet to active levels with a slight chance
for isolated minor storm periods.
