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 317 Issued at 2200Z on 13 NOV 1998

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 12-2100Z to 13-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. REGION 8385 (N20W58) PRODUCED A C3/SF AT 12/2354Z AND REGION 8383 (S16E14) PRODUCED A C1/SF AT 13/0312Z. A NEW REGION WAS NUMBERED TODAY AS REGION 8386 (S20E57).
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE AT LOW TO MODERATE LEVELS. REGIONS 8383 AND 8385 ARE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING C AND M-CLASS FLARES.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 12-2100Z to 13-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET UNTIL 13/0300Z WHEN IT BECAME ACTIVE TO MAJOR STORM CONDITIONS.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE UNSETTLED TO ACTIVE THE FIRST DAY OF THE FORECAST AND BECOME QUIET TO UNSETTLED FOR THE LAST TWO DAYS OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. THE PROBABLE CAUSE OF TODAYS ACTIVITY WAS THE PARTIAL HALO CORONAL MASS EJECTION OBSERVED ON 09 NOV.
