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 256 Issued at 2200Z on 13 Sep 2009

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 12-2100Z to 13-2100Z

Solar activity was very low. No flares were observed. The visible disk remained spotless.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 12-2100Z to 13-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was predominantly quiet. A single unsettled period was observed at high latitudes between 13/1500-1800Z.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet, with isolated unsettled periods on day one (14 September). Quiet to unsettled levels, with isolated active periods at high latitudes, are expected on days two and three (15-16 September) due to a recurrent coronal hole high-speed stream.
