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 161 Issued at 2200Z on 10 Jun 2011

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 09-2100Z to 10-2100Z

Solar activity was low. A C2 x-ray flare occurred at 10/1751Z and appeared to originate from old Region 1226 (S22, L=037), which crossed the west limb yesterday. Region 1234 (S16E43) produced an isolated B-class flare and remained a simply-structured Bxo-type group. No new regions were assigned.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low through the period (11 - 13 June) with a chance for an isolated C-class flare.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 09-2100Z to 10-2100Z
Geomagnetic activity was at quiet to active levels during the period. Active levels occurred at Boulder during 09/2100 - 10/0000Z associated with increased solar wind speeds and IMF Bt, coupled with a period of southward IMF Bz. Quiet to unsettled levels occurred after 10/0000Z. A geomagnetic sudden impulse (SI) occurred at 10/0855Z (15 nT, Boulder USGS magnetometer). The SI was in response to the arrival of the halo-coronal mass ejection observed on 07 June. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels during the period.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
Geomagnetic activity is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels during the period (11 - 13 June) with a chance for brief active levels during 11 - 12 June due to a coronal hole high-speed stream, expected to commence on 11 June.
