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 312 Issued at 2200Z on 08 NOV 1998

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 07-2100Z to 08-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS MODERATE. REGION 8375 (N19W62) PRODUCED AN M2/1N FLARE AT 1712UT. REGION 8383 (S14E76) WAS NUMBERED TODAY.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE MODERATE TO HIGH.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 07-2100Z to 08-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET TO SEVERE STORM. THE CME REPORTED ON 5 NOV ARRIVED AT AND INTERACTED WITH THE EARTH'S MAGNETOSPHERE, CAUSING SEVERE STORM CONDITIONS DURING THE 06-09UT PERIOD. THE GT 10 MEV PROTONS CLIMBED PAST THE 10 PFU THRESHOLD FOR APPROXIMATELY 25 MINUTES STARTING AT 08/0245UT. THEY HAVE DECLINED TO LOW LEVELS SINCE THAT TIME.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE QUIET TO ACTIVE.
