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 280 Issued at 2200Z on 07 Oct 2011

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 06-2100Z to 07-2100Z

Solar activity was low. Region 1313 (S16E39) produced a C1/Sf at 07/0121Z. Region 1305 (N11W91) continued to produce C-class activity as it rotated around the west limb. All of the other regions on the disk remained relatively stable during the past 24 hours.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low with a slight chance for moderate activity for the next three days (08-10 October).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 06-2100Z to 07-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled during the past 24 hours.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly quiet on day one (08 October). Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected on days two and three (09-10 October) due to effects from a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream.
