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 303 Issued at 2200Z on 30 Oct 2005

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 29-2100Z to 30-2100Z

Solar activity continues at very low levels. Region 818 (S06E47) is a small beta sunspot group in slow growth. Bright emissions on the southeast limb in SXI imagery may be associated with old active Region 814 (S08, L=228), which is due to return on 01 November. Region 814 was formerly Region 808, which was very active during its early September passage across the visible disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to continue at very low levels. There is a small chance for C-class flare activity after 01 November as old active Region 814 rotates into view on the southeast limb.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 29-2100Z to 30-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to continue at quiet levels with isolated unsettled periods possible.
