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 335 Issued at 2200Z on 01 Dec 2010

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

Solar activity was low during the past 24 hours. Region 1130 (N14W40) produced a C1 flare at 01/0622Z and appears to be growing steadily.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low to low. There is a chance for additional C-class activity due to the growth of Region 1130 and the return of old Regions 1124 (N14, L=190) and 1123 (S22, L=171).
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 mostly quiet on day one (02 December). Quiet to unsettled conditions with a chance for isolated active periods is expected on days two and three (03-04 December) due to possible effects from a CME associated with the disappearing filament observed on 29 November. The CME observed near N15E40 on 30 November could also contribute to elevated activity on those days.
