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 311 Issued at 2200Z on 07 Nov 2011

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

Solar activity was low. Only low to mid-level C-class activity was observed from both Regions 1338 (S13W12) and 1339 (N18E05). Both regions exhibited some growth in area and spot count with Region 1338 developing a Beta-Gamma magnetic configuration. There were no Earth-directed CMEs observed during the period.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be moderate during the period (08 - 10 November) with a slight chance for high activity (M5 or higher) from Region 1339. There is also a slight chance for a proton flare from this region during the period.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 06-2100Z to 07-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels. Solar wind speeds ranged between 300 to 375 km/s while the Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field did not vary much beyond +/- 5 nT.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels during the period (08 - 10 November).
