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 168 Issued at 2200Z on 17 Jun 2010

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 16-2100Z to 17-2100Z

Solar activity was very low. New Region 1082 (N28E33) produced a B5/Sf x-ray event at 17/1023Z.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low for the next 3 days (18-20 June).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 16-2100Z to 17-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled with a few isolated periods of active conditions at mid latitudes. Solar wind speeds remain near 520 km/s. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at high levels during the past 24 hours.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is forecast to be quiet to unsettled with the chance for an isolated period of active conditions on day 1 (18 June). Conditions are forecast to be mostly quiet on days 2 and 3 (19-20 June).
