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 6 Issued at 2200Z on 06 JAN 1997IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 05-2100Z to 06-2100Z SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS VERY LOW. A NINE DEGREE FILAMENT
NEAR S20E10 DISAPPEARED SOMETIME BETWEEN 05/1939 UT AND 06/2300 UT.
AN ADDITIONAL FILAMENT ERUPTION OF 13 DEGREES NEAR S23W03 WAS
REPORTED TO OCCUR BETWEEN 1301-1453 UT TODAY. REGION 8009 (S04W32),
THE ONLY SPOTTED REGION ON THE DISK, WAS VERY QUIET AND STABLE.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE VERY
LOW.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 05-2100Z to 06-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS
EXPECTED TO BE MOSTLY UNSETTLED FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS. THERE IS A
SLIGHT CHANCE FOR BRIEF ACTIVE PERIODS OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS. THE
POSSIBLE INCREASE IN ACTIVITY IS ANTICIPATED BECAUSE OF RECURRENCE
PATTERNS.
