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 017 Issued at 2200Z on 17 Jan 2011IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 16-2100Z to 17-2100Z Solar activity remained at very low levels. Occasional
B-class flares were observed during the period. The largest of these
was a B4 flare at 17/0634Z from Region 1147 (N25E52). Region 1147
was classified as a Cso-beta group with 12 spots. Region 1148
(S28W32) was numbered today as a Bxo-beta group with 4 spots.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low, with a chance for an isolated C-class flare.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 16-2100Z to 17-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be at quiet levels for the next three days (18-20
January).
