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 014 Issued at 2200Z on 14 JAN 2000

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. ONLY 4 C-CLASS EVENTS WERE NOTED. THE MOST ACTIVE REGION WAS 8827 (S12W58) WHICH HAS SHOWN SIGNIFICANT GROWTH IN THE LAST 24 HOURS AND ALSO PRODUCED THE LARGEST EVENT OF THE PERIOD, A C6/SF AT 14/1711UT. THE MOST COMPLEX REGION REMAINS 8824 (S13E08) WHICH CONTINUES TO SHOW A BETA-GAMMA-DELTA MAGNETIC CLASSIFICATION. REGION 8824 SHOWED STRONG PLAGE FLUCTUATION DURING THE PERIOD BUT ONLY PRODUCED A SINGLE OPTICAL SUBFLARE. REGION 8829 (N17E40) ALSO SHOWED PLAGE FLUCTUATIONS AND POINT BRIGHTENINGS DURING THE PERIOD. THE REST OF THE REGIONS SHOWED LITTLE CHANGE OF ACTIVITY.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW TO MODERATE. REGIONS 8824 AND 8829 ARE BOTH POTENTIAL SOURCES FOR ISOLATED M AND POSSIBLY X-CLASS FLARES.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET TO UNSETTLED.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO BE QUIET TO UNSETTLED.
