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 323 Issued at 2200Z on 19 Nov 2009

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 18-2100Z to 19-2100Z

Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24 hours. Region 1033 (N19E34) a Bxo-beta , has grown in area and sunspot number. Region 1032 (N15E07) a Bxo-beta, has shown little change. No flares have occurred.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels with a slight chance for a C-class flare.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 18-2100Z to 19-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be unsettled with a chance for isolated active periods for the next two days (20-21 November) due to a recurrent coronal hole high-speed stream. Conditions should decline to mostly quiet to unsettled levels for the third day (22 November).
