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 027 Issued at 2200Z on 27 Jan 2011

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 26-2100Z to 27-2100Z

Solar activity was at low levels. Region 1149 (N16W90) produced two C1 flares at 27/1201Z and 27/2003Z. A Type II radio sweep was observed at 27/1208Z, with an estimated velocity of 901 km/s.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be at very low to low levels on day one (28 January). There remains a slight chance for a C-class flare as Region 1149 rotates off the limb. Activity is expected to be very low on days two and three (29-30 January).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 26-2100Z to 27-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels, with isolated unsettled periods at high latitudes.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at predominantly quiet levels for the next three days (28-30 January).
