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 245 Issued at 2200Z on 02 Sep 2007

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 01-2100Z to 02-2100Z

Solar activity was very low. There were only three, low-level B-class flares during the last 24 hours.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 01-2100Z to 02-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was mostly unsettled to active with some isolated minor storm periods. The increase in activity corresponds to a high speed solar wind stream associated with a favorably positioned coronal hole. Real-time solar wind speeds increased up to 600-650 km/s early in the period, and remained at that level throughout the day. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly unsettled with isolated active periods during the next 24 hours (03 September) as the current solar wind stream persists. Conditions should decline to predominantly quiet for the second and third days (04-05 September).
