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.

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 09-2100Z to 10-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. ONLY SEVERAL MINOR C-CLASS EVENTS WERE OBSERVED DURING THE PERIOD. REGION 8795 (S12E06) WAS NUMBERED. REGION 8795 DISPLAYED SIGNIFICANT GROWTH DURING THE LAST DAY AND IS CURRENTLY A DAO-BETA SPOT GROUP.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF AN ISOLATED M-CLASS EVENT.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 09-2100Z to 10-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET TO UNSETTLED. THE GREATER THAN 2 MEV ENERGETIC ELECTRONS AT GEOSYNCHRONOUS ORBIT WERE AT HIGH LEVELS DURING THE PERIOD.
