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 193 Issued at 2200Z on 12 Jul 2010

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 11-2100Z to 12-2100Z

Solar activity was very low. Region 1087 (N21E30) produced numerous B-class flares during the past 24 hours. The region has shown little change in spot number and areal coverage and has a simple delta configuration in the leader spots.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be at very low to low levels. There is a slight chance for an isolated M-class event from Region 1087.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 11-2100Z to 12-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be unsettled with a chance for isolated active periods during the next three days (13-15 July) due to a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream.
