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 339 Issued at 2200Z on 05 DEC 1999IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 04-2100Z to 05-2100Z SOLAR ACTIVITY REMAINED LOW. JUST INFREQUENT SMALL
C-CLASS EVENTS OCCURRED. REGION 8788 (N10E43) IS STILL THE MOST
IMPRESSIVE OF THE FIVE SPOTTED REGIONS. THE LIMBS WERE QUIET.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 04-2100Z to 05-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS AT QUIET TO MINOR STORM LEVELS. THIS
DAY-OLD DISTURBANCE IS A CONSEQUENCE OF HIGH SPEED (650 KM/S) SOLAR
WIND FROM A WELL-POSITIONED CORONAL HOLE.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS
EXPECTED TO BE MOSTLY UNSETTLED TO ACTIVE. EPISODIC MINOR STORM
CONDITIONS MAY OCCUR DURING LOCAL NIGHTTIMES. THIS STREAM SHOULD
CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE FIELD THROUGHOUT THE INTERVAL.
