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 309 Issued at 2200Z on 05 Nov 2006

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 04-2100Z to 05-2100Z

Solar activity was low. Region 921 (S08W24) produced two C-class flares. The largest of these was a C3/Sf flare at 05/1227Z. A Type II radio sweep was reported at 05/1730Z. Solar observatories reported estimated shock speeds ranging from 1089 to 1541 km/sec. Although no significant flare activity was observed at this time, H-alpha imagery indicates a DSF may have occurred.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low. There remains a chance of an isolated C-class flare from Region 921.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 04-2100Z to 05-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be predominantly quiet.
