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 009 Issued at 2200Z on 09 Jan 2010IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 08-2100Z to 09-2100Z Solar activity was low. Region 1040 (N30E35) produced a
C1.0 flare at 1503Z. Several B-class flares were observed prior to
the C-flare. Region 1040 has grown during the past 24 hours and is a
10-spot Cri-beta group with an area of approximately 70 millionths.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low. There is a chance for an isolated C-class flare from
Region 1040.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 08-2100Z to 09-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet for the first two days (10-11 January). Quiet,
with isolated unsettled levels, are expected on day three (12
January) as a coronal hole moves into a geoeffective position.
