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 069 Issued at 2200Z on 10 MAR 1997

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 09-2100Z to 10-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS VERY LOW. NO FLARES OCCURRED. REGION 8020 (N07E23) REMAINS STABLE AS A SEVEN SPOT 'CAO' BETA GROUP, WHILE REGION 8021 (S28E18) HAS DECAYED INTO A SPOTLESS PLAGE.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE VERY LOW.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 09-2100Z to 10-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD HAS BEEN QUIET AT ALL LATITUDES FOR THE PAST 24 HOURS.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE MOSTLY UNSETTLED FOR THE NEXT 48 HOURS, WITH THE CHANCE FOR ISOLATED PERIODS OF ACTIVE CONDITIONS, DUE TO A FAVORABLY POSITIONED CORONAL HOLE. ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE QUIET TO UNSETTLED ON DAY THREE.
