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 291 Issued at 2200Z on 18 Oct 2007

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 17-2100Z to 18-2100Z

Solar activity was very low. The visible disk remains spotless.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to remain very low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 17-2100Z to 18-2100Z
The geomagnetic field began the summary period at quiet levels and became briefly active between 09-12Z as a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream became geoeffective. Activity since 12Z has been quiet to unsettled.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to range from unsettled to active for the next three days under the continued influence of the high speed stream.
