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 223 Issued at 2200Z on 11 AUG 1999

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. REGION 8662 (S14E11) PRODUCED A C1/SF AT 10/2208Z. THIS REGION APPEARS TO HAVE STABILIZED, PRODUCING ONLY MINOR FLUCTUATIONS FOR MOST OF THE PERIOD. NEW REGION 8665 (S26E66) WAS NUMBERED TODAY. REMAINING REGIONS WERE QUIET.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN LOW. REGION 8662 IS THE ONLY REGION LIKELY TO PRODUCE C-CLASS FLARES AND HAS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF AN M-CLASS EVENT.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET TO UNSETTLED.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN AT QUIET TO UNSETTLED LEVELS.
