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 211 Issued at 2200Z on 30 JUL 1997

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 29-2100Z to 30-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS VERY LOW. NO SIGNIFICANT FLARES OCCURRED.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE VERY LOW.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 29-2100Z to 30-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET TO UNSETTLED. THE SOHO/LASCO EXPERIMENT OBSERVED A LARGE (>200 DEGREES) CME EVENT AT ABOUT 30/0830Z. THIS EVENT WAS CORRELATED IN TIME WITH A PARTIAL FILAMENT DISAPPEARANCE NEAR N45E21, A GOES X-RAY ENHANCEMENT BEGINNING AT 30/0839Z AND PEAKING AT 30/0907Z (A7 PEAK), AND ENHANCED CORONAL ARCADES BETWEEN REGIONS 8064 (N23W34) AND 8066 (N24E09) SEEN IN YOHKOH IMAGERY. PARTICLE ENHANCEMENTS OR RADIO SWEEP ACTIVITY WAS NOT OBSERVED.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE MOSTLY QUIET TO UNSETTLED FOR THE FIRST TWO DAYS OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. UNSETTLED TO ACTIVE CONDITIONS MAY BEGIN ON AUGUST 2 DUE TO THE CME EVENT MENTIONED ABOVE.
