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 061 Issued at 2200Z on 02 Mar 2010IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 01-2100Z to 02-2100Z Solar activity was very low. Old Region 1045 (N19,
L=251) is now visible on the northeast limb, however, no spots have
been reported at this time. This region produced a long-duration
B6.6 x-ray flare at 01/2226Z, associated with a CME from the east
limb. Region 1052(S17W40) and 1053 (S23W50) remain simple, quiet
sunspot groups.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar Activity is expected to remain
very low for the next 3 days (03-05 March).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 01-2100Z to 02-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet for the next 3 days (03-05 March).
