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 240 Issued at 2200Z on 28 Aug 2011IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 27-2100Z to 28-2100Z Solar activity was very low. New Region 1281 (S21E64)
produced occasional optical subflares during the period, two of
which were associated with B-class x-ray flares. No significant
activity was noted in the remaining spot groups. A weak Type II
radio sweep occurred at 28/0420Z, likely associated with a filament
disappearance from beyond the west limb. There were no
Earth-directed CMEs observed during the period.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low during the period (29 - 31 August) with a chance for an isolated
C-class flare.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 27-2100Z to 28-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
Geomagnetic field activity is
expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels on day 1 (29 August).
Quiet geomagnetic conditions are expected during days 2 - 3 (30 - 31
August).
