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 025 Issued at 2200Z on 25 JAN 2000

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. SEVERAL LOW-LEVEL C-CLASS FLARES OCCURRED DURING THE PERIOD. THE LARGEST EVENT WAS A C6/SF AT 25/0623Z FROM REGION 8842 (S17W37). A NEW REGION WAS NUMBERED TODAY AS 8845 (S14E24).
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW FOR THE FORECAST PERIOD.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS AT QUIET TO UNSETTLED LEVELS.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE QUIET TO UNSETTLED THE FIRST TWO DAYS OF THE FORECAST WITH UNSETTLED TO ACTIVE CONDITIONS FOR THE THIRD DAY. THE FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BECOME DISTURBED AS A RESULT OF A WELL POSITIONED EQUATORIAL CORONAL HOLE.
