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 266 Issued at 2200Z on 23 Sep 2005IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 22-2100Z to 23-2100Z Solar activity increased to low levels. Region 810
(N09W06) produced a single C1/Sf flare today at 0559Z. This region
underwent gradual growth during the period and is currently
depicting magnetic beta-gamma characteristics. Newly numbered
Region 812 (S01E73), was responsible for an eruptive prominence on
the east solar limb just prior to becoming a visible CSO beta
sunspot group.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be at
very low to low levels. Region 810 has the complexity to produce
isolated C-class flares.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 22-2100Z to 23-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was at predominantly quiet to unsettled levels.
A brief active period was observed at the Boulder magnetometer
between 23/0600Z and 0900Z. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at
geosynchronous orbit reached high levels again today.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels.
