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 319 Issued at 2200Z on 15 NOV 1997

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 14-2100Z to 15-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. REGION 8108 (N20E58) PRODUCED A C2/SF FLARE AT 15/0142Z. THIS REGION HAS GROWN INTO AN EAO SPOT GROUP WITH A BETA-GAMMA MAGNETIC CONFIGURATION. AN UNCORRELATED C1 X-RAY BURST WAS DETECTED AT 15/1041Z.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN LOW FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST PEIOD. REGION 8108 HAS A DECENT CHANCE OF CONTINUED C-CLASS ACTIVITY, A CHANCE OF ISOLATED M-CLASS ACTIVITY, AND AN OUTSIDE CHANCE OF A SMALL X-CLASS EVENT.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 14-2100Z to 15-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET TO UNSETTLED AT ALL LATITUDES.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE QUIET TO UNSETTLED FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST PERIOD. DAY THREE MAY BRING OCCASIONAL ACTIVE LEVELS AT HIGH LATITUDES AND MOSTLY UNSETTLED LEVELS AT MID LATITUDES AS THE RESULT OF CME REPORTED ON 14TH.
