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 345 Issued at 2200Z on 11 Dec 2005IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z Solar activity was low during the past 24 hours due to
one C-class flare, a C1 at 1338Z from Region 835 (N18E55). This
group is the largest on the disk at 220 millionths and appears to
have a simple beta magnetic class.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low for the next three days (12-14 December).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z
The geomagnetic field ranged from quiet to active levels, with a
minor storm period at high latitudes from 1500-2100Z. Solar wind
speed showed an increase up to 550-660 km/s after 0800Z which was
accompanied by enhanced interplanetary magnetic field and
temperature. The velocity appeared to be slowly declining after
1500Z. These solar wind signatures are consistent with a small
coronal-hole-high-speed stream.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be mostly unsettled for the next 24 hours (12 December)
with a chance for isolated active periods. Quiet to unsettled levels
are expected for 13 December followed by generally quiet conditions
for 14 December.
