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 246 Issued at 2200Z on 03 Sep 2010

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 02-2100Z to 03-2100Z

Solar activity was very low. Region 1105 (N18W22) produced the only x-ray event of the period, a B1.8 flare at 03/1438Z. The three other regions on the disk remained quiet and stable.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is forecast to be very low with the chance for an isolated C-class flare for the next 3 days (4-6 September).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 02-2100Z to 03-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is forecast to be mostly quiet on day 1 (4 September), and quiet to active on days 2 and 3 (5-6 September) due to recurrent coronal hole effects.
