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 255 Issued at 2200Z on 12 Sep 2011IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 11-2100Z to 12-2100Z Solar activity was low during the past 24 hours. Region
1292 (N08E52) produced two C-class flares, the largest a C2 at
12/0329Z. Regions 1293 (N17W11), 1294 (S18E27), and 1295 (N21E72)
were numbered today. Region 1295 produced a C9 at 12/2054Z. The
region is considered an H-type group but is still rotating around
the limb.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low
with a chance for isolated M-class events for the next three days
(13-15 September).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 11-2100Z to 12-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been unsettled to active during the past 24
hours due to effects from a favorably positioned coronal hole high
speed stream (CH HSS). 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 quiet to unsettled with isolated active periods for
days one and two (13-14 September) due to effects from a CH HSS.
Mostly quiet conditions are expected on day three (15 September) as
CH HSS effects subside.
