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 225 Issued at 2200Z on 13 Aug 2006IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 12-2100Z to 13-2100Z Solar activity was very low. Today's activity consisted
of a few B-class flares from Region 904 (S13E38). This region
continues to be the only spotted group on the disk. The large leader
spot showed simplification and consolidation of the umbra regions;
the large trailer spot showed slow emergence of new magnetic flux.
The region is predominantly bipolar but has some small areas of
mixed polarity, making the group a beta-gamma magnetic class.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low, with just a slight chance for an isolated M-class flare
from Region 904.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 12-2100Z to 13-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux
reached high levels during the past 24 hours.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be generally quiet for the next three days (14-16
August).
