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 4 Issued at 2200Z on 04 JAN 1997IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 03-2100Z to 04-2100Z SOLAR ACTIVITY REMAINED VERY LOW. MIDWAY THROUGH THE
PERIOD, A REGION BEGAN TO EMERGE AT A MODERATE PACE NEAR S02W04 AND
WAS NUMBERED AS NEW REGION 8009.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY SHOULD REMAIN AT A VERY
LOW LEVEL. CONTINUED GROWTH IN NEW REGION 8009 COULD RAISE ACTIVITY
LEVELS IN 1-2 DAYS.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 03-2100Z to 04-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET AT ALL LATITUDES.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD SHOULD BE
PREDOMINANTLY QUIET TO UNSETTLED FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS. ISOLATED
ACTIVE CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE DURING THAT TIME.
