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 320 Issued at 2200Z on 16 NOV 1998

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 15-2100Z to 16-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. REGION 8383 (S15W24) PRODUCED SEVERAL C-CLASS X-RAY FLARES. REGION 8385, JUST PAST THE WEST LIMB, PRODUCED A C7 X-RAY FLARE AND AN ACTIVE SURGE REGION WITH AN EXTENT OF .12 RV.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 15-2100Z to 16-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET TO UNSETTLED. THE GT 10 MEV PROTON EVENT ENDED AT 16/0955Z WITH A MAXIUM OF 300 PFU OBSERVED AT 14/1245Z.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE UNSETTLED FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS, WITH MINOR STORM CONDITIONS POSSIBLE AT HIGH LATITUDES THE SECOND AND THIRD DAY DUE TO A RECURRENT PATTERN OF A NORTHERN POLAR CORONAL HOLE.
