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 237 Issued at 2200Z on 25 AUG 1997IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. NEW REGION 8076 (N29E63), A
GROWING CRO SPOT GROUP, PRODUCED TWO SMALL C-CLASS FLARES. THIS IS
THE RETURN OF REGION 8069. NEW REGION 8077 (S23E59), A SMALL BXO
GROUP, WAS ALSO NUMBERED TODAY. THE REMAINDER OF THE VISBLE DISK WAS
QUIET.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN
LOW. REGION 8076 HAS A GOOD CHANCE OF PRODUCING MORE C-CLASS FLARES
AND HAS AN OUTSIDE CHANCE OF AN ISOLATED M-CLASS FLARE AS WELL.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS MOSTLY QUIET.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS
EXPECTED TO BE QUIET TO UNSETTLED FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST PERIOD.
