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 063 Issued at 2200Z on 04 MAR 1997IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 03-2100Z to 04-2100Z THE DISK REMAINED SPOTLESS AND SOLAR ACTIVITY CONTINUED
VERY LOW. RECENT X-RAY IMAGES SHOW TWO SMALL REGIONS ABOUT TO ROTATE
OVER THE NORTHEAST AND SOUTHEAST LIMBS.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS FORECAST TO REMAIN
AT VERY LOW LEVELS FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 03-2100Z to 04-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET. ENERGETIC ELECTRON FLUXES AT
GEOSYNCHRONOUS ORBIT REMAINED AT HIGH LEVELS.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD SHOULD BE
QUIET TO SLIGHTLY UNSETTLED FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS. ENERGETIC
ELECTRON FLUXES SHOULD BEGIN TO DECLINE IN THE 05-06 MAR PERIOD.
