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 054 Issued at 2200Z on 23 Feb 2011IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 22-2100Z to 23-2100Z Solar activity has been low. Region 1161 (N13W69)
produced the periods only C-class event, a C1 at 23/1223Z. Both
Region 1161 and Region 1162 (N18W73) have decayed significantly and
have a simple Beta magnetic classification.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low for the next three days (24-26 February). There is a chance for
an isolated C-class event from Region 1161 before it rotates off
the visible disk.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 22-2100Z to 23-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been quiet with an isolated unsettled
period at 23/1500-1800Z.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be predominately quiet on day one (24 February). Quiet
to unsettled conditions are expected on days two and three (25-26
February).
