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 039 Issued at 2200Z on 08 FEB 2000IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 07-2100Z to 08-2100Z SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS MODERATE. REGION 8858 (N28E14)
PRODUCED AN M1/1B AT 08/0900UT WHICH INCLUDED A TYPE II RADIO SWEEP
AND OTHER MINOR RADIO OUTPUT. THIS SUNSPOT GROUP HAS DECAYED A
LITTLE SINCE YESTERDAY. REGION 8861 (N07W53) CONTINUED TO DEVELOP
AND PRODUCED A FEW C-CLASS FLARES. THE LARGEST WAS A C4/1F AT

(N44W16), 8865 (S12E22), AND 8866 (N18E64).
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW
TO MODERATE. SIGNIFICANT FLARE ACTIVITY IS MOST LIKELY IN REGIONS
8858 AND 8861.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 07-2100Z to 08-2100Z
