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 032 Issued at 2200Z on 01 FEB 1999

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 31-2100Z to 01-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. REGION 8446 (N18W82) PRODUCED A C3/SF FLARE AT 0839Z. THE OTHER SOLAR ACTIVE REGIONS WERE VERY STABLE. A 7 DEGREE FILAMENT NEAR S22W55 DISAPPEARED BETWEEN 31/2057 AND 01/1243Z. TODAY'S H-ALPHA DATA INDICATED SOME FAINT, REMAINING TRACES OF THE FILAMENT, SUGGESTING THAT MATERIAL MAY HAVE FADED RATHER THAN ERUPTED.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW TO VERY LOW.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 31-2100Z to 01-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET DURING THE PAST 24 HOURS.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE UNSETTLED FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS.
