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.
Report of Solar-Geophysical Activity 2010 Sep 24 2201 UTC
Prepared by the NOAA © SWPC and processed by SpaceWeatherLive.comJoint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 267 Issued at 2200Z on 24 Sep 2010
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 23-2100Z to 24-2100Z
Solar activity was at very low levels during the past
24 hours. Region 1109 (N22E41) produced several small B-class
events. Region 1109, an Eho spot group, increased in extent and
areal coverage and maintained a beta magnetic configuration. Region
1108 (S30W34) remained unchanged.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be at
very low to low levels with C-class activity likely. A slight chance
for an M-class event exists from Region 1109.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 23-2100Z to 24-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was at predominantly unsettled levels over the
past 24 hours due to the presence of a recurrent coronal hole high
speed stream. Solar wind velocities increased steadily over the
past 24 hours and ended the period near 600 km/s.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled on day one (25 September) due to
the continued presence of a recurrent coronal hole high speed
stream. Quiet levels are expected on days two and three (26-27
September).
