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 179 Issued at 2200Z on 28 Jun 2009IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 27-2100Z to 28-2100Z Solar activity was very low. No flares were detected.
The visible disk was spotless.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 27-2100Z to 28-2100Z
Geomagnetic field activity ranged from quiet to active levels. Active
levels occurred after 28/1700Z. ACE solar wind data indicated the
active levels were associated with periods of increased velocities
(peak 426 km/sec at 28/2042Z), sustained southward IMF Bz (minimum
-12 nT at 28/1917Z), and enhanced IMF Bt (peak 12 nT at 28/1918Z);
all of which were associated with a favorably positioned coronal
hole.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
Geomagnetic field activity is
expected to be at predominantly quiet levels with a chance for
unsettled levels through the period (29 June - 01 July).
