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 154 Issued at 2200Z on 03 Jun 2005

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 02-2100Z to 03-2100Z

Solar activity was moderate. Region 772 (S17E09) produced an M1.3/1b flare at 0411 UTC with associated Type II radio sweep (571 km/s). There was also an M1.0 flare from the NE limb at 1226 UTC. A powerful CME with a speed of over 1500 km/s was observed on LASCO imagery following this flare. A strong post-flare loop system was also visible on the east limb near N15. This flare originated from a region around the limb not yet numbered.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low with a chance for moderate levels. C-class activity is expected from Region 772. Isolated M-class flares are possible.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 02-2100Z to 03-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was high again today.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be unsettled through 05 June. A CME from today's M1 flare in Region 772 may create occasional active periods on 05 and 06 June.
