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 295 Issued at 2200Z on 22 Oct 2011IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 21-2100Z to 22-2100Z Solar activity was moderate. Region 1314 (N29W93)
produced a long duration M1 flare at 22/1110Z associated with a CME
off the west limb that is not expected to be geoeffective. A
disappearing filament was observed at approximately 22/0058Z. An
associated CME appears to be Earth-directed but further analysis is
necessary to determine timing as images become available. New Region
1330 (N04E66) was numbered today and is considered a Dso-beta type
group.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low
with M-class activity likely for the next three days (23-25
October).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 21-2100Z to 22-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet during the past 24 hours.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be mostly quiet for the next three days (23-25 October).
