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 004 Issued at 2200Z on 04 Jan 2006IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 03-2100Z to 04-2100Z Solar activity continued very low. Both spot groups on
the visible disk, Region 841 (N13W76) and Region 843 (N13W51), were
stable and quiet.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to continue
very low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 03-2100Z to 04-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet. 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 be quiet to mildly unsettled. The slight increase later
in the period is due to the possible effects of a high speed solar
wind stream.
