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 305 Issued at 2200Z on 01 Nov 2005

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 31-2100Z to 01-2100Z

Solar activity continues at very low levels. Region 818 (S08E19) and 819 (S09E12) have not changed much over the past 24 hours, and maintain a relatively simple beta magnetic configuration. A large plage field associated with old Region 814 (S8, L=228) has rotated into view on the southeast limb, but no sunspots are visible.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to continue at very low levels. There is a slight chance for a C-class flare.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 31-2100Z to 01-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet to active. Active conditions occurred early in the period following an extended episode of southward IMF Bz. Solar wind speed remained below 400 km/s.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled with isolated active periods on 02 and 03 November. Isolated minor storm periods are possible on 04 November as a large recurrent coronal hole rotates into a geoeffective position.
