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.

SDF Number 116 Issued at 2200Z on 25 APR 2000

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

SOLAR ACTIVITY CONTINUED LOW. MOST OF THE ACTIVITY ORIGINATED IN REGION 8972 (N34W47). REGIONS 8970 (S15E18) AND 8971 (N18E16) REMAIN IMPRESSIVE IN WHITE LIGHT AND H-ALPHA, BUT AS YET HAVE BEEN LARGELY UNPRODUCTIVE. LITTLE ELSE OF SIGNIFICANCE OCCURRED.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW TO MODERATE. AN ISOLATED M-CLASS EVENT MAY ORIGINATE FROM EITHER REGION 8970, 8971 OR 8972.
