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 162 Issued at 2200Z on 11 Jun 2011

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z

Solar activity decreased to very low levels. Occasional B-class x-ray flares occurred. There were three small, simply-structured spots groups on the disk, including newly-numbered Region 1235 (N14E27). No Earth-directed coronal mass ejections occurred during the period.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low through the period (12 - 14 June) with a slight chance for a C-class flare.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z
Geomagnetic activity was at quiet to active levels. Active levels occurred during 11/0300 - 0600Z, associated with a period of increased interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) Bt (peak 10 nT) and southward IMF Bz (peak deflection -8 nT). ACE solar wind data indicated a co-rotating interaction region occurred during the first half of the period, in advance of a coronal hole high-speed stream (CH HSS). The CH HSS commenced around 11/1025Z, followed by a gradual increase in solar wind speeds (380 to 460 km/s) during the rest of the period.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
Geomagnetic activity is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels during days 1 - 3 (12 - 14 June) with a chance for brief active periods due to CH HSS effects.
