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 254 Issued at 2200Z on 11 Sep 2010

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z

Solar activity was very low. New Region 1106 (S18E64) rotated onto the disk during the period and produced several B-class events. A 20 degree filament eruption, centered near N25E25, was observed on SDO/AIA 193 imagery at 11/0204Z. SOHO LASCO C3 imagery indicated an associated partial-halo CME, with a majority of the CME extending NE from the filament eruption. Further analysis, using imagery from STEREO-A and STEREO-B COR2, indicated a portion of the CMEs southern flank could possibly be Earth-directed.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low with a slight chance of C-class activity from emerging Region 1106.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
Geomagnetic activity is expected to be at predominately quiet to unsettled levels, with isolated active periods, for days one and two (12 - 13 September) due to a geoeffective, recurrent coronal hole high speed stream. Geomagnetic field activity is expected to return to mostly quiet levels on day three (14 September).
