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 317 Issued at 2200Z on 13 Nov 2011

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 12-2100Z to 13-2100Z

Solar activity was low. Frequent low-level C-class flares occurred, most of which were produced by Region 1344 (S18W73). Region 1344 showed little change during the period, but analysis was hampered by limb proximity. The same was true of Region 1339 (N19W75) as it approached the west limb. Region 1341 (N10W22) showed gradual spot development in its intermediate and trailer portions and produced a single C-class flare. New Region 1347 (N07E55) emerged early in the period and appeared to be in a gradual growth phase. It produced a single C-class flare. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed during the period.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low through the period (14 - 16 November). There will be a slight chance for an isolated M-class flare until Regions 1339 and 1344 depart the west limb early on 15 November.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 12-2100Z to 13-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at mostly quiet levels during the period (14 - 16 November).
