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 321 Issued at 2200Z on 17 Nov 2007

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 16-2100Z to 17-2100Z

Solar activity was very low. Region 974 (N13W21) was classiefied as a Dao, Beta-Gamma magnetic type at 0300Z. Subsequent reports have identified it as a spotless plage region.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to remain very low. There is a slight chance of an isolated C-Class flare from region 974.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 16-2100Z to 17-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to remain predominantly quiet during 18-19 Nov, increasing to unsettled to occasionally active by 20 Nov as a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream becomes geoeffective.
