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 190 Issued at 2200Z on 09 JUL 1999IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 08-2100Z to 09-2100Z SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. SEVERAL C-CLASS FLARES OCCURRED
IN A VARIETY OF SMALL ACTIVE REGIONS. REGION 8629 (N23W70) WAS THE
MOST ACTIVE AREA PRODUCING THE BULK OF THE OBSERVED FLARES. THIS NEW
EMERGING REGION IS LOCATED TO THE WEST OF THE AREA THAT HAD BEEN
NUMBERED 8613 BUT HAD SIGNIFICANTLY DECAYED. REGIONS 8615 (S29W28),
8626 (S21W43), 8627 (S13E61), AND NEW REGION 8628 (N18E52) ALSO
PRODUCED SUBFLARES. REGION 8630 (S10W55) WAS ALSO NUMBERED.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW.
ANY OF THE ACTIVE REGIONS MENTIONED IN PART IA. ARE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING C-CLASS ACTIVITY. THERE IS ALSO A CHANCE OF AN ISOLATED
M-CLASS FLARE IN REGION 8629.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 08-2100Z to 09-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET TO UNSETTLED.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS
EXPECTED TO BE QUIET TO UNSETTLED.
