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 040 Issued at 2200Z on 09 Feb 2010IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 08-2100Z to 09-2100Z Solar activity was moderate. Region 1045 (N23W26)
produced a M1/Sn event at 08/2123Z. This region has shown a slight
decay today but continues to maintain its magnetic beta-gamma-delta
configuration.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low
to moderate with a slight chance for a X-class event from Region
1045.
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 unsettled with isolated active conditions for the
next three days (10-12 February). Activity is forecast due to the
recent CME activity from Region 1045. Late on 11 February into 12
February there is a slight chance for isolated periods of minor
levels due to the full halo CME observed on 06 February.
