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.

SDF Number 238 Issued at 2200Z on 26 AUG 1999

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 25-2100Z to 26-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW WITH ONLY C-CLASS EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD. THE STRONGEST C-CLASS EVENT WAS AN OPTICALLY UNCORRELATED C7 AT 26/0705Z. REGION 8674 (S25W03) HAD SIGNIFICANT GROWTH IN THE NUMBER OF SPOTS THROUGHOUT THE REGION. REGIONS 8675 (N18E53) AND 8677 (N04E60) BOTH DISPLAYED MINOR GROWTH. NEW REGION 8679 (S34E58) WAS NUMBERED TODAY.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW TO MODERATE. REGION 8673 (S19W08) OR 8674 IS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING AN M-CLASS EVENT.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 25-2100Z to 26-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET TO UNSETTLED WITH PERIODS OF ACTIVE CONDITIONS IN THE HIGHER LATITUDES.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE QUIET TO UNSETTLED WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF ISOLATED ACTIVE PERIODS.
