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 163 Issued at 2200Z on 11 Jun 2012

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z

Solar activity was low. Region 1507 (S26E17) was the most active region of the period, producing several C-flares. The largest of these was a C1/Sf at 1903Z. Region 1504 (S17E40) is the largest group on the disk and managed to produce a C-class flare. Regions 1504 and 1507 are both growing steadily. There were no Earth-directed CMEs observed during the period.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to range from low to moderate. An isolated M-class event is likely with Regions 1504 and 1507 the most probable source.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was generally quiet to unsettled. Minor storm levels were observed at high latitudes during 10/0600Z to 10/0900Z. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels during the period.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
Geomagnetic activity is expected to be quiet to unsettled on day 1 (12 June). An increase in activity is expected mid-day due to a glancing blow from a CME observed on 08 June. Activity is expected to return to quiet partway through day 2 (13 June) as the effects of the CME subside. Activity is expected to remain quiet on day 3 (14 June).
