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 323 Issued at 2200Z on 19 Nov 2011

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 18-2100Z to 19-2100Z

Solar activity was low. Occasional low-level C-class flares were observed during the period. Old Region 1341 (N08, L=055), which rotated out of view early in the period, was the likely source for a C1 x-ray flare at 19/0127Z associated with a weak Type II radio sweep and a non-Earth-directed CME. Region 1354 (S17E44) showed gradual spot growth in its intermediate portion and produced a couple C-class flares including a C3 at 19/1955Z, which was the largest flare of the period. New Region 1356 (N14E81) rotated into view and was classified as an Hsx with an alpha magnetic classification.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low through the period (20 - 22 November) with a slight chance for an M-class flare.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 18-2100Z to 19-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet through the period (20 - 22 November).
