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 219 Issued at 2200Z on 07 Aug 2007

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 06-2100Z to 07-2100Z

Solar activity was very low. Region 966 (S06E21) produced a B1 flare at 06/2248Z. This region has simplified and is now classified as an H-type alpha sunspot group.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 06-2100Z to 07-2100Z
The geomagnetic field ranged from unsettled to major storm conditions due to a coronal high speed stream. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels today.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be unsettled to active on 8 August as the coronal hole moves out of a geoeffective position. Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected on 9 August. Conditions are expected to increase to unsettled to active, with isolated minor storm periods on 10 August. Isolated major storm periods are also possible at high latitudes on 10 August, in response to a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream.
