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 284 Issued at 2200Z on 11 Oct 2005IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z Solar activity was low. A single C1 flare occurred in
newly numbered Region 814 (S06W11). This flare occurred in the large
plage field associated with old Region 808. A new small bipolar spot
group emerged in the northeast quadrant of the plage field. A Type
II radio sweep (437 km/s) also occurred with this flare.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low. There is a small chance for a C-class flare in newly
numbered Region 814.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled. Solar wind speed has
declined from 650 km/s to near 450 km/s. The greater than 2 MeV
electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at high levels again
today.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to continue at quiet to unsettled levels.
