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 029 Issued at 2200Z on 29 Jan 2007IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 28-2100Z to 29-2100Z Solar activity was low. Region 940 (S05E35) produced a
C3/SF flare at 29/1656Z. Newly numbered Region 941 (S09E69) is
classified as an Hsx Alpha group.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low with a slight chance for an isolated M-class event from
Region 940.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 28-2100Z to 29-2100Z
The geomagnetic field ranged from quiet to minor storm levels. Major
and severe storm conditions were observed at high latitudes. A
co-rotating interaction region indicating the onset of a coronal
hole high speed stream was observed at ACE starting at approximately
1000Z. Solar wind speed increased to approximately 700 km/s as the
IMF increased to 20 nT and the Bz component varied between +/- 15
nT.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be unsettled to active for the next three days. Isolated
minor to major storm periods are possible on 30-31 January due to
the coronal hole high speed stream.
