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 274 Issued at 2200Z on 01 Oct 2010

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 30-2100Z to 01-2100Z

Solar activity was very low. Region 1110 (N20W71) produced a long duration, B5/Sf event at 01/1001Z. Region 1110 has decreased in areal coverage and extent and is now an A-type group. Region 1109 (N21W51) has shown little change during the past 24 hours and remains a D-type group with a beta magnetic configuration. Region 1111 (N20E30) has increased in extent and is now a B-type group.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low to low with a chance for a C-class event.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 30-2100Z to 01-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet during the past 24 hours.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be predominantly quiet for the next three days (02-04 October).
