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 328 Issued at 2200Z on 24 Nov 2011

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 23-2100Z to 24-2100Z

Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest event of the period was a C1 flare from Region 1356 (N15E16). A new sunspot group was numbered early in the period in the northwest quadrant, Region 1359 (N16W52). A CME was observed off the west limb in LASCO C2 imagery at 24/0125Z, but after careful analysis, there appears to be no Earth directed components.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be at low levels with a slight chance for M-class activity for the next three days (25-27 November).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 23-2100Z to 24-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at mostly quiet levels with an isolated period at minor storm levels observed at high latitudes.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at predominantly quiet levels for the next three days (25-27 November).
