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 164 Issued at 2200Z on 13 Jun 2005

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 12-2100Z to 13-2100Z

Solar activity was very low. Regions 775 (N10W46) and 776 (S06W34) are both in decay. LASCO imagery showed a CME at 13/1600 UTC. The ejecta was directed to the north west and is not likely to be geoeffective.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low to low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 12-2100Z to 13-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was at unsettled to major storm conditions. Periods of major storming levels were observed at 12/2100 - 2400 UTC and again at 13/0300 - 0600 UTC. Heightened activity was due to a prolonged southward Bz in response to CME activity from 08 June. By the end of the period conditions had quieted down to unsettled levels and the Bz component of the Magnetic field did not vary beyond +/- 5 Nt. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels today.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly unsettled on 14 June. The arrival of a CME associated with C-class X-ray activity early on 12 June is expected early on 15 June causing unsettled to active conditions with periods of minor storming possible. Activity is expected to settle down to quiet to active levels on 16 June.
