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 158 Issued at 2200Z on 07 JUN 1998

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 06-2100Z to 07-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. ALL REGIONS APPEAR STABLE OR DECLINING. A SMALL C FLARE WAS OBSERVED AT 1443UT FROM REGION 8232 (S20E09). REGION 8237 (S25E69) HAS ROTATED OVER THE EAST LIMB AS A SMALL BXO SPOT GROUP. A TYPE II SWEEP WAS REPORTED AT 0912UT.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW. ISOLATED CLASS C FLARES ARE EXPECTED, PRIMARILY FROM REGION 8232.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 06-2100Z to 07-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS GENERALLY UNSETTLED TO ACTIVE. SOME MINOR STORMING AT HIGH LATITUDES OCCURRED EARLY IN THE UT DAY.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE AT UNSETTLED TO ACTIVE LEVELS.
