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 329 Issued at 2200Z on 25 NOV 1997

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. SEVERAL C-CLASS FLARES OCCURRED SINCE YESTERDAY, MOST OF WHICH WERE OPTICALLY UNCORRELATED. THE LARGEST FLARE OF THE PAST DAY WAS A C9 AT 25/1952Z. THIS FLARE WAS ASSOCIATED WITH A 140 SFU RADIO BURST AT 2695 MHZ AND A BSL (BRIGHT SURGE AT THE LIMB) NEAR N25E90. THIS AREA IS ALSO PRESUMED TO BE THE SOURCE OF THE UNCORRELATED X-RAY FLARES. NO SPOTS ARE YET VISIBLE BUT SOMETHING SHOULD COME INTO VIEW BY TOMORROW. REGION 8108 (N19W79) HAS DECAYED FURTHER AND IS APPROACHING THE WEST LIMB QUIETLY.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW TO MODERATE. C-CLASS ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FROM THE SUNSPOT GROUP ROUNDING THE NORTHEAST LIMB NEAR NE25. AN ISOLATED M-CLASS FLARE IS POSSIBLE FROM THIS AREA AS WELL.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET AT ALL LATITUDES.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE QUIET.
