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 319 Issued at 2200Z on 15 NOV 1999

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 14-2100Z to 15-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS MODERATE. REGION 8765 (S13E19) PRODUCED AN M2/2N FLARE AT 15/0841Z. SEVERAL C-CLASS EVENTS WERE ALSO OBSERVED THIS PERIOD. REGION 8765 REMAINS THE LARGEST REGION ON THE SOLAR DISK WITH AN AREA OF 820 MILLIONTHS. THIS REGION HAS STRONG MIXED POLARITIES WITH A POSSIBLE DELTA CONFIGURATION. ANOTHER REGION OF NOTE IS REGION 8766 (N17E44) WHICH DOES DISPLAY A DELTA CONFIGURATION WITHIN THE GROUP. A 24 DEGREE FILAMENT AT N44E32 DISAPPEARED BETWEEN 14/1845-2115Z. A NEW REGION WAS NUMBERED TODAY AS REGION 8769 (S10E76).
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE MODERATE. SEVERAL REGIONS HAVE M-CLASS FLARE POTENTIAL WITH THE CHANCE FOR AN ISOLATED X-CLASS EVENT.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 14-2100Z to 15-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET.
