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 203 Issued at 2200Z on 22 Jul 2011

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 21-2100Z to 22-2100Z

Solar activity was very low. Regions 1254 (S24W42) and 1259 (N25E18) were both Dso Beta groups, remaining quiet and stable during the period.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low to low with a chance for a C-class flare over the next 3 days (23-25 July).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 21-2100Z to 22-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet during the period, with the exception of an isolated period of active conditions between 22/06-09Z due to night time sub storming. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels during the period.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly unsettled with an isolated nighttime active period possible on day 1 (23 July) from coronal hole effects. Conditions are expected to be mostly quiet for days 2-3 (24-25 July), as high speed stream effects are expected to subside.
